President Trump said "we're not putting troops anywhere" when asked Thursday about the movement of forces toward Iran.

"If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you, but I'm not putting troops, and we will do whatever is necessary" to keep the price of gas and oil down, he told reporters ahead of an Oval Office meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

The Pentagon has recently deployed the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, a rapid-response force of about 2,200 Marines, to the Middle East.
