Donald Trump has said Iran appears to be responsible for drone attacks on two oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.

The president claimed the United States would prefer to avoid a war with Iran, but added that he was not looking at alternative options right now.

How likely is a military conflict?

And could the business links between Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia influence America's course of action?

Cal Thomas and Larry Donnelly joined us to discuss this in our US slot.

They also covered the one million New York children who have been given permission to skip school to take part in climate change protests, the latest allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, and Sean Spicer's debut on Dancing with the Stars.
