LIVE VIDEO: White House Press Briefing

CNBC reports:



White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer will shortly hold his daily press briefing with Capitol Hill reporters. Earlier, U.S. forces dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb on an ISIS tunnel complex in Afghanistan. The Pentagon said the strike was “designed to minimize the risk to Afghan and U.S. Forces conducting clearing operations in the area while maximizing the destruction of ISIS-K fighters and facilities.”

ISIS has been using IEDs, bunkers and tunnels as losses increased, Gen. John W. Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, explained. “This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against ISIS-K,” Nicholson said in a statement.
