Two US troops killed as Trump seen golfing

President Donald Trump was seen at his Bedminster golf club on July 18, 2026, hours after an attack in Jordan killed two U.S. service members, U.S. Central Command confirmed. Officials said another American service member remains missing and roughly 30 personnel were injured.

Visuals from the club showed the president on the course and prompted sharp public criticism, with some onlookers using the phrase "Blood on your hands." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paid tribute to the fallen troops, officials said. The footage has focused attention on timing and tone even as military and diplomatic channels assess next steps.

Officials described the strike as involving missiles and drones in Jordan; U.S. Central Command confirmed the deaths and the missing service member. Pentagon officials are reviewing details with partners in the region, officials said, while questions mount about whether the United States will respond militarily and how quickly.

Watch for Pentagon and White House statements and any operational updates over the next 72 hours. That window will be the first clear marker of Washington's chosen course and will determine immediate diplomatic and military consequences in the region.
