Trump: Iran war will end soon after US midterm elections
US President Donald Trump said he believes the war with Iran will end shortly after November's congressional midterm elections, as Iran can no longer hold out. He also said oil prices could drop sharply once the vote is over.
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he expects the war with Iran to end almost immediately after the upcoming congressional midterm elections in November. Speaking to reporters before heading to a Republican Party conference in Dallas, he said Iran can no longer sustain its resistance.
Trump also claimed that Tehran is actively trying to interfere with and influence the upcoming vote in the United States.
Oil prices
Addressing the economic fallout, the US leader acknowledged that oil prices, which have risen due to the war, are unlikely to fall before election day. However, he said a sharp decline should follow right after the vote.
