Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 22:56

The US president, Donald Trump, downplayed the conflict between the United States and Iran, classifying the war as a "military conflict" and guaranteeing that, for the country, "it's just a trifle". The president's statement comes at a time of tension between the two nations. Trump minimized the gravity of the situation, suggesting that the country is prepared to deal with the conflict relatively simply. This position contrasts with the concern expressed by other world leaders regarding the escalation of tensions in the Middle East region.
