White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt left the door open for the launch of a possible ground invasion in Iran during a weekend appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Host Maria Bartiromo gave President Donald Trump’s favorite spokesperson an opportunity to address concerns that Iran may soon see American boots on the ground one day after he told reporters it could be part of Operation Epic Fury “later on.”
“Mothers out there are worried we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this,” the Fox News veteran said. “What do you want to say about the president’s plan for troops on the ground?”
Leavitt wasn’t making any promises, telling Bartiromo, “President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table.”
Her message was in line with what Trump told reporters about the possibility of the air campaign shifting strategies while on Air Force One Saturday.
