UPDATES BELOW: Further comments from Trump.
This is a developing story. Return to this post for updates.
UPDATE 1
The White House has called congressional leaders to the Situation Room for a briefing this afternoon on Iran, following the shooting down of a US drone by Iran.
UPDATE 2
Trump will attend.
UPDATE 3
Via NBC:
Asked at the White House about a U.S. response, Trump said, “Obviously, you know were not going to be talking too much about it," before adding, "You're going to find out."
"Iran made a very bad mistake," the president continued. "The drone was international waters clearly."
The comments, made at the White House during an appearance with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
UPDATE 4
Definitely mixed signals from Trump.
POTUS, per pool, seems inclined to given Iran a pass on from strike: “I imagine someone made a mistake...in shooting down the drone. We didn't have a man of woman in the drone. It would have made a big, big difference"— Eliana Johnson (@elianayjohnson) June 20, 2019
