(Photo: AFP)WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) - US President Donald Trump is to attend the dignified transfer on Saturday of six soldiers killed in an Iranian attack on Kuwait, the White House said Friday, as the escalating war with Tehran brings home its first American dead. The ritual takes place at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of US troops killed overseas are returned to American soil. The fallen soldiers -- five men and one woman aged 20 to 54 -- were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, a unit responsible for supplying troops with food, fuel, equipment and ammunition. Trump has attended several such transfers during his presidency, and the White House had previously said he would honor the six killed in Kuwait, even before a date was announced.
