🔶 Trump: The war with Iran played a role in the defeat of the Republicans.
On Wednesday, November 4, in a telephone interview with Fox News, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, confirmed that the war with Iran and its economic consequences, including the increase in gasoline prices, played a role in the defeat of the Republicans in the midterm elections.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that many people agree with his policy towards Iran, but they are not ready to bear the economic consequences of this war, especially the increase in fuel prices.
Despite referring to the political and economic consequences of the war, the American president still defended his policy towards Iran and emphasized that the short-term costs should be evaluated alongside the long-term gains of this action.
The increase in the cost of living and the price of fuel were among the issues that affected the American political atmosphere in this round of mid-term elections, and the economic pressures caused by the war became one of the challenges of the Trump administration.
