US president attends ‘dignified transfer’ of remains of soldiers killed in Kuwait drone strike wearing ‘USA’ golf cap
Donald Trump on Saturday joined the families of six US soldiers killed in the war in the Middle East during a dignified transfer ritual at Dover air force base.
A “dignified transfer” is when the remains of US service members killed in action are returned to the US.
The soldiers were killed in a drone strike in Kuwait earlier this week, as the US and Israel continue its regime-change war in Iran.
The transfer is considered one of the most somber duties of any commander-in-chief. During Saturday’s event, the president wore a Trump-branded “USA” golf cap. Cellphones were not allowed during the entirety of the dignified transfer.
