🔶 Trump: The Iran war affected the results of the midterm elections.
Considering the heavy defeat of the Republicans in the congressional elections, the President of the United States Donald Trump confirmed the statement of his deputy that the Iran war is one of the causes of this defeat.
Earlier, JD Vance, his deputy, in a message on Channel X, called the Iran war and the economic situation of the United States one of the reasons for the Democrats' decisive victory in the mid-term elections and obtaining a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
In response to the White House reporters about Vance's words, Trump said: "I think that's true to a large extent, because this war in the short term has caused the price of gasoline to go up a little bit."
At the same time, he defended his decision to start the war and added: "But if I had to do it again, I would do it again. Because this is the only long-term solution. Iran will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. The American president also rejected the possibility of firing Pete Gast, this country's defense secretary, who was responsible for directing efforts related to the Iran war.
