DOVER: US President Donald Trump attended the return Saturday of the bodies of the first six US soldiers killed during the escalating war with Iran.

Trump, wearing a white “USA” baseball cap and accompanied by several Cabinet members, saluted as each flag-draped case was carried from a military transport plane at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of US troops killed overseas are returned to American soil.
