Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) not concerned with U.S. soldiers dying in Iran because Trump "has to punch them in the nose" [View all]

Q: What do you think about boots on the ground?
PATRONIS: Those negotiations may not come to fruition, and the president has to punch them in the nose. I truly think in his heart he doesn't want boots on the ground, but he wants respect out of NATO and European countries that depend on Iranian oil.
