US President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday, November 4 that the war with Iran likely played a role in Republicans losing control of the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections by raising the price of gasoline. When asked about the comments of Vice President J. De Vance Blaming the war for failure, he said, "I think that's largely true because it raised the price of gasoline a little bit in the short run." At the same time, Trump defended his decision to start a war and said: "We had to do it and we will continue to do it. Iran will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons."
