Middle East

The U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran last year and withdrew from a deal signed in 2015 with American allies that limited the Middle Eastern country’s stockpile of enriched uranium.

While the summit is expected to be dominated by news about the U.S-China trade war, concerns about the possibility of a military confrontation between the U.S. and Iran could play a role behind the scenes.

The president also confirmed in a tweet that he would discuss Iran at Camp David this weekend.

“The Iranian national leadership was furious with the tactical commander who shot down the drone because they clearly did not want that provocation to take place,” said Gen. Keane.
