WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Friday said the U.S. is moving thousands of people out of various countries throughout the Middle East amid the military conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran.

"It is being done quietly, but seamlessly," Trump said in a social media post without providing further details.
