Trump boasts of Iran attacks at Air Force One event

US President Donald Trump has claimed the United States has “had a lot of victories” during a speech marking the unveiling of a new Air Force One aircraft gifted by Qatar.

Trump used the ceremony, held for the plane that will replace the aircraft used to transport US presidents, to boast about US military power and predict a sharp fall in oil prices.

“You’re going to see oil drop so low, I hope the companies are happy about it,” he said.

He then pointed to the US war with Iran as proof of Washington’s military dominance.

“We have the greatest military in the world. You saw that in Iran, in one week, virtually, we knocked out their entire navy, their entire air force, their radar. We wiped out everything,” he said.
