President Trump says he will visit the troops in Afghanistan or Iraq, but the timing of a possible trip is being closely-held out over concerns about his safety.
A Washington Post report said that Trump doesn't want to be associated with the wars and has avoided visiting service members because he's worried about the security risks.
'He’s afraid people want to kill him,' a White House official told the news outlet.
The report said he's mulling a trip but did not allude to timing of the prospective visit. A spokesman for the National Security Council indicated to DailyMail.com that one is not imminent.
In an interview that aired on Sunday, Trump cited his 'unbelievable busy schedule' as a reason he hasn't visited active duty troops overseas in the nearly two years he's been in office and the 'phony witch hunts' into alleged collusion with Russia.
'I think you will see that happen. There are things that are being planned. We don’t want to talk about it because of -- obviously because of security reasons and everything else,' he told Fox News.
