President Trump on Tuesday described Tuesday's massive explosions in Beirut, Lebanon, as an "attack," claiming that U.S. generals he met with seemed to think it was an "attack" of some kind. It's the first time the horrific incident has been described as an attack — at this point, the Lebanese government isn't describing it as such. Video emerging on social media shows extensive damage and officials said at least 60 people are dead and more than 3,000 injured.
"Well it would seem like it based on the explosion," Mr. Trump said during a news conference. "I met with some of our great generals and they seemed to feel that it was. This was not some kind of a manufacturing explosion type of event. This was a, seems to be, according to them, they would know better than I would, but they seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind."
