U.S. President Donald Trump offered his administration's “deepest sympathies” to the people of Lebanon after an explosion in the capital Beirut that has resulted in the deaths of at least 70 people as of Tuesday, and wounded thousands more.

Trump said the explosion in Beirut “seemed like” an attack based on the expertise of a number of U.S. generals.

“They would know better than I would, but they seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind,” he said.

A spokesperson for the Pentagon told Global News on Tuesday that it is “actively monitoring developments” but said it has “nothing to offer regarding the cause of the explosion nor its aftermath.”
