Donald Trump has compared himself to Harry Truman following the United States' bombing of three of Iran’s nuclear sites last month (21 June).
Speaking to reporters during a meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (7 July), the Republican drew a comparison between himself and the 33rd president of the United States, who is known for playing a key role in ending the Second World War by authorising the use of atomic bombs on Japan.
“Harry Truman's picture is now in the lobby in a nice location in the lobby where it should have been, but that stopped a lot of fighting, and this stopped a lot of fighting,” he said.
Mr Trump also told reporters that his administration has agreed to diplomatic talks with Iran.
