Â
WASHINGTON — We still don’t know what the storm is.
When reporters asked President Trump on Friday about his cryptic comment during the previous night’s dinner with military leaders — “maybe it’s the calm before the storm” — Trump again demurred.
“You’ll find out,” he said.
He has not explained whether his comment refers to his pending decision on the Iran nuclear deal, a possible confrontation with nuclear-armed North Korea, or simply nothing at all.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders was no more forthcoming at a press briefing Friday afternoon.
“We’re never going to say in advance what the president is going to do,” Sanders said.
