President Joe Biden says he has decided how the US will respond to a drone strike that killed three American troops in Jordan at the weekend.

Speaking as he left the White House for fundraisers in Florida, Mr Biden said he does not think a wider war in the Middle East is needed.

An Iran-backed militia group has claimed responsibility for the attack at a US military base, with dozens more injured in Sunday’s strike near the Syrian border.

Mr Biden did not detail exactly what the US action might be, but the White House has promised a “very consequential response”.
