Donald Trump said that US spending on military operations against Iran amounted to $30 billion. The US president called this amount "just pennies", and noted that Washington earned "many times more" in Venezuela alone. "If I can make a deal, that's what I'd rather do to save a lot of lives. But think of war. This is not a war. I hear what some of these guys are saying. I heard a very stupid congressman on Fox News, I think it was Fox & Friends. He said we spent 30 billion dollars on this war with Iran. Well, because it's just many times more than we earned in Venezuela," he said. Recall that according to estimates by the US Central Command, as of mid-October, the war with Iran cost the US military at least 47.1 billion dollars. Donald Trump in Russian.
