Trump told reporters in Florida, "Was that my ambassador? He seems like a very influential man, I think," and added, "Well, if that's the case, I know nothing about it.
Barrack told podcast host Mario Noval in an interview that there could definitely be a strike against Iran this weekend.
Barrack said, "Could a strike happen this weekend? Definitely."
