Trump: Many options to respond to Saudi oil attack

US President Donald Trump says there are a lot of options for how to respond to the weekend attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.

Asked by a reporter if Iran was behind the attacks, the president said "it's certainly looking that way at this moment."

Trump also said that the US has a lot of options, but he is not currently looking into any of them.

He said that the US has the best weapons systems, but he doesn't want a war with anybody.

He added that he plans to send Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Saudi Arabia and discuss the matter with Gulf nations and European countries.
