Trump says Beirut explosion ‘was a bomb', his generals ‘don’t think it was an accident’

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the deadly Beirut explosion that killed dozens and flattened a vast area of the Lebanese city was caused by "a bomb."

The president offered US help and said the country is "ready to assist" following the devastating aftermath of what he described as a "terrible attack".

"The United States stands ready to assist Lebanon," Trump said at a Tuesday evening White House briefing.

"We will be there to help. It looks like a terrible attack."

When asked if he was confident the deadly blast was an attack and not an accident, Trump responded: "It seemed like it, based on the explosion."

"I've met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel it was," he said.

"But they seem to think it was an attack, a bomb of some kind," Trump added.
