President Donald Trump described a massive explosion in Beirut as a ‘terrible attack’ Tuesday, despite no evidence currently suggesting the blasts were intentional.

The blast, which had the force of a small nuke, rocked the Lebanese capital's port area on Tuesday evening local time, killing at least 100 people and injuring more than 4,000 others. 

'The United States stands ready to assist Lebanon,’ Trump said of the devastating scenes during a White House briefing. ‘We will be there to help. It looks like a terrible attack.’
