Trump says oil and gas prices won’t fall until ‘right after’ midterm election

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told reporters before departing for the Republican National Midterm Convention in Dallas that the Iran War will end "immediately after the election," claiming Tehran seeks to influence the November vote.
  • Hostilities intensified as Iran attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz, sending benchmark Brent crude prices surging above $100 a barrel for the first time since July.
  • Trump argues Tehran is "desperate to affect the election" to install a "weak group" of leaders while insisting Americans accept high oil prices to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
  • While Trump promised the conflict would conclude post-election, he acknowledged elevated gas prices are unlikely to ease before November, as midterm elections serve as a referendum on the White House occupant.
  • Foreign policy experts say Trump has "run out of options" regarding the war, while Republican strategist Matthew Bartlett stated the United States has been exposed for lacking a clear plan to win or exit.
