Trump pays respects to 4 US service members killed in the Middle East

Trump and top defense officials saluted as four flag-draped transfer cases arrived, while the Pentagon said 18 U.S. service members have died since the war began.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump attended the dignified transfer of four U.S. Army soldiers at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, honoring service members recently killed in action in the Middle East.
  • Three soldiers died in a missile attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, while Michael Emmanuel Swinton was killed during a controlled detonation of a downed drone in Iraq linked to Iranian forces.
  • The fallen include Tyler James Feehan, Isabella Gonzales, and Angel S. Rampersad. Since the war began in February, at least 18 U.S. service members have died, with the conflict costing taxpayers at least $37.5 billion.
  • Trump called the ritual "one of the hardest things to do as a president." His message to grieving families, he said, was "we love you, we love your child."
  • Four in five Americans expect the conflict to drag on for an extended period, with 37% approving military strikes against Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine attended the solemn transfer.
