Trump agreed that the Republicans were defeated in Congress because of the war in Iran, this is how the President of the United States answered the question of a journalist who asked if Trump agreed with the words of J. Dee Vance that the reason for the Republican loss is the war in Iran. "I think that's largely true because it led to a small but short-lived increase in gasoline prices," he said. Trump also said he would find common ground with Democrats unless they "want to engage in destructive activities." But in this case, the president would have veto power, he noted.
