Trump and Potential War Crimes19 Apr 2026 17:11
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about this issue of potential war crimes and rejected the notion.
"Of course, this administration and the United States armed forces will always act within the confines of the law.
"But with respect to achieving the full objectives of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump is going to move forward unabated. And he expects the Iranian regime to make a deal with the administration."
Trump himself said in newspaper interview earlier this year he didn’t “need” international law and that he was limited only by his own morality. “My own mind,” he said, was “the only thing that can stop me”.
