U.S.President Donald Trump drew widespread criticism for his delayed and dismissive response to the deaths of three American soldiers killed in Iranian drone attacks over the weekend.The victims, James Feehan (25) from Hawaii, Isabella Gonzales (19) from Texas, and Sgt.Michael Emmanuel Swinton (28) from North Carolina, died in Jordan and Iraq during military operations.

Trump did not address their deaths until Sunday while at Joint Base Andrews, where he briefly mentioned the tragedy before traveling to the World Cup Final in New York City.His remarks, which included stating that 'those great patriots...are out there fighting so Iran could not have a nuclear weapon,' were widely condemned as lacking empathy.

Global affairs columnist David Rothkopf criticized Trump's response on 'The Daily Beast Podcast,' arguing that his approach reflects a 'Nero-esque' indifference to human suffering.

The incident has sparked debates about the risks of Trump's Iran policy and its potential impact on military operations, with critics accusing him of prioritizing personal events like golf outings over national security concerns.
