Trump says he's looking for 'a real end' to Iran-Israel conflict

Manila Bulletin

U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was looking for something "better than a ceasefire" in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict after denying reports he had rushed back early from a G7 summit to Washington to work on a ceasefire.  Asked by a reporter aboard Air Force One what specifically he hoped to achieve in the conflict, Trump responded: “An end. A real end. Not a ceasefire. An end."
