Trump says oil prices will be ‘tumbling downward’ after midterms

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePresident Donald Trump says he expects the seven-month conflict with Iran to end immediately after the November midterm elections as he accused Tehran of prolonging the war to influence election results. “They’re desperate to try and affect the election, so that we can get a nice weak group of people in there, and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapon,” Trump said before heading to the GOP midterm convention. “I think the war’s going to end immediately after the election because they can’t hold out any longer.”Trump also addressed oil prices after escalating tensions near the Strait of Hormuz, including Iran attacking 10 ships following the U.S. sinking five Iranian tankers, pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel and increased domestic fuel costs.Trump predicted prices will fall post-election, stating, “Right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. I think it’s going to take a little bit longer than the midterm.”The prolonged war has sparked domestic concerns, with an NBC News poll indicating that only 31 percent of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the war as Republicans prepare for the upcoming midterms.
