Donald Trump: We did not take action to start a war

Donald Trump insists he did not want to start a war, but end a war by killing Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike on Friday morning.

He spoke to the press from his estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

The president's comments come as the United States confirms it will deploy 3,000 more troops into the Middle East as a result of the heightened tensions.
