Trump called the defeat of three American fighter jets by Kuwait a minor problem.

American leader Donald Trump said on March 24 that Kuwait's destruction of three American F-15E fighter jets was a minor incident.

The American leader called the incident a mistake. According to him, the Kuwaiti soldiers thought they were attacking the enemy.
