The statement comes amid reports by the American news channel CBS that Trump is totally viewing 'disabling the Fordo nuclear site as necessary.' As per CBS report, Trump is of view that there is actually not much of a choice for the US. "Finishing job means destroying Fordo," the report said.

When asked about the message for "everyday Trump supporters" concerned about potential US involvement, Press Secretary Leavitt urged them to "trust in President Trump."

She praised the president’s instincts and credited him with maintaining global stability during his first term through a policy of "peace through strength."
