President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth both evoked Christian faith at a press conference debriefing on the rescue of the American serviceman who was stranded in Iran.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump said he believed God was watching over the rescue operation because of its proximity to the Easter holiday.
“When you go into these areas, you don’t come out like we came out. God was watching us,” he said, joking that the timeframe of the rescue was “in Easter territory, I guess.”
