Obama and Trump trade barbs at rallies in Georgia and Ohio ahead of midterms

Former US President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump have spoken at rallies in the states of Georgia and Ohio ahead of the US midterm elections. Both used their speeches to criticise the other side. The midterms are held between presidential elections, and in them American voters choose members of Congress.

Topics of the dispute

The source says the exchanges centred on three issues: the war with Iran, tariffs on imported goods, and the White House ballroom.

The short summary provided does not give details on each issue. It also does not say which politician spoke in which state or what exactly they said. For that reason, this report includes no quotes or specific claims from the speeches.

The rallies took place shortly before the vote, and both politicians used them to address voters and make the case for their positions on these issues.
