Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
President Donald Trump pushed back against criticism that his decision to engage in conflict with Iran this year contradicted his "No new wars" campaign slogan. In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump stated he never guaranteed there would be no wars if re-elected, arguing that building the strongest military in the world would be unnecessary if he had made such a promise. He also addressed a now-scrapped $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate allies.
