President Donald Trump joined grieving families at Dover Air Force Base for the dignified transfer of six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers killed in Kuwait. On Saturday, Trump and Vice President JD Vance attended the dignified transfer with their spouses and top administration officials. Trump spoke earlier in Miami, calling the troops heroes. He says their return is heartbreaking and he wants to limit U.S. war deaths. Trump stayed silent during the transfer, as protocol requires. He saluted as flag-draped transfer cases moved from the military aircraft to waiting vehicles. He later told reporters that it's a “very sad day” and that he was “glad we paid our respects.” The six U.S. soldiers were killed in a drone strike at a command center.
