Trump told ABC News journalist Karl: "This is a response to their attack on our helicopter last night. I think the retaliation was strong, and it should be done that way."
Trump said: "I believe in delivering tough responses, and I've held this principle throughout my life. We still have deals—ones that could have been good, and might remain good going forward."
According to Karl, he spoke with President Trump over the phone when the U.S. Central Command announced the strikes.
