In an interview with Piers Morgan on Wednesday's Good Morning Britain, President Trump said "there's always a chance" of military action against Iran, walked back his assertion Tuesday that Britain's public National Health Service would be part of a U.S.-Britain trade deal, said he "wouldn't have minded" serving during the Vietnam War but has made up for sitting it out by increasing military funding as president, and parried Morgan's question about U.S. gun violence by claiming he "read an article where everybody is being stabbed" in London, and "they said your hospital is a sea of blood, all over the floors."
Morgan asked about Trump's continued sniping at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Trump insisted he never attacks McCain and "I don't think about him," before criticizing McCain. Trump also tried to clarify his remark that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is "nasty." Markle "was nasty about me," Trump said. "That's okay for her to be nasty. It's not good for me to be nasty to her, and I wasn't."
