U.S. President Donald Trump referred to the conflict with Iran Monday as a "mini-war," and said it is "working out very nicely." Trump made the comments during a small business summit at the White House. "I call it a mini war because that's all they are. They don't have a navy anymore," Trump said. He told the crowd he would have preferred to keep Iran’s higher quality ships but it didn't work out that way. "I said, 'Why didn't you just take the ship? Why did you have to send it to the bottom of the sea?'" Trump recalled.
