Trump said that an Iranian general could have made a mistake, telling reporters in the Oval Office: “I find it hard to believe it was intentional.”
Asked about what the United States was planning to do in response to Iran shooting down the drone, which Iran claimed was in Iranian airspace, Trump said that he wouldn’t be discussing that.
“You’ll find out,” he told reporters.
The comments were relayed by Voice of America reporter Steve Herman.
According to a pool report, Trump said: “I imagine someone made a mistake.”
“I have a big, big feeling” that someone made a mistake, he added. Whoever did it was “loose and stupid,” he said.
“We didn’t have a man or woman in the drone. It would have made a big, big difference,” he said.
The president also said that the drone was definitely over international waters and said the location was “scientifically documented.”
Trump was meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
