Trump calls Riyadh airport attack unacceptable

US President Donald Trump has condemned the attack on Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia, describing the incident as unacceptable and expressing regret over the developments. He said he would speak with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss the situation.

Speaking to the media, Trump said he had only recently learned about the latest attack and indicated that Washington would assess the circumstances before deciding on its next steps. He stressed that the United States could act quickly once it reaches a decision.

Asked whether the United States might join Saudi Arabia in military operations against Yemen, Trump said Washington could consider involvement. He added that the administration would review the situation before determining whether to take further action.

Trump’s remarks suggest that the United States has not ruled out a possible role in the evolving situation. However, he did not announce any immediate military commitment or specify what measures Washington might consider.

The US president also said Saudi Arabia had a strong capacity to defend itself. He reiterated that his administration would examine the circumstances surrounding the attack and determine whether additional support or action was necessary.

His comments come amid heightened regional tensions and renewed concerns over the security of Saudi Arabia and critical infrastructure in the region. Any decision by Washington to become directly involved in military operations could have wider implications for regional security and relations among the countries involved.

Trump’s planned conversation with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is expected to provide an opportunity to discuss the attack and assess possible responses. For now, the US administration has indicated that it is reviewing the situation before making a final decision.
