Remarks at a Wisconsin campaign event linked the conflict to higher oil prices and living costs as U.S. midterm election pressure builds for Republicans.
U.S. President Donald Trump said at a campaign event in Wisconsin on the 5th that he would move quickly to end the war with Iran, framing the conflict as a key driver of elevated prices. The remarks come as the U.S. midterm elections draw closer and public debate increasingly links the U.S.-Iran war to higher oil prices and rising living costs, factors widely seen as weighing on Republican electoral prospects.
