Washington, March 30 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump "would be very interested" in calling on Arab countries to help cover the costs of the ongoing US-Israeli war against Iran, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said at a briefing on Monday.
"I'm not going to get ahead of him [D. Trump] on this. But, of course, it's an idea that I know he has, and it's something I think you'll hear more about from him," she said.
Earlier in March, Pentagon officials told the US Congress that the Trump administration spent more than $11.3 billion in the first six days of the war against Iran.
That figure doesn't include battle damage and replacement costs, which are likely to cost the Pentagon an estimated $1.4 billion to $2.9 billion in the first three weeks of the war, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Elaine McCusker, a former Defense Department budget specialist who tracked those costs for the American Enterprise Institute.
