WSJ: Trump Weighing Deployment of 10,000 Additional Ground Troops to Middle East

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Donald Trump is considering deploying 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East. According to sources who provided this information to the Wall Street Journal, the potential move is intended to give Trump "more military options, even while peace negotiations with Tehran remain under consideration." The report states the troops would likely include infantry and armored vehicles, and would be in addition to the 5,000 US Marines already deployed to the region. It remains unclear exactly where these troops would be stationed. BBC has contacted the White House and Pentagon for comment.
