Donald Trump, during a wide ranging Q and A with Greek PM Mitsotakis --
But we had tremendous information [on Soleimani]. We’ve been following him for a long time. And we followed his path for those three days. And they were not good stops. We didn’t like where he was stopping. They were not good stops. We saved a lot of lives.
The known stops during those 3 days are Beirut (as Hassan Nasrallah was happy to discuss) and Damascus. But Trump appears to indicate that the entire Soleimani trip was under US surveillance.
Incidentally, it's also worth mentioning that despite the infinite hot takes on the situation, the media appears to have missed the significance of Mike Pompeo's postponed trip to Ukraine and Central Asia, even when the State Department keeps reminding everyone that it was postponed!
