Trump focuses on the US midterm elections, claiming that the end of the war will lead to an economic takeoff.

As the November midterm elections approach, Trump is attempting to make Americans forget the Iran conflict he initiated, as well as the resulting surge in energy prices. Addressing voters who believe his management of the economy and control of prices has been poor, Trump has promised that things are about to improve. "Oil prices will drop significantly, and falling oil prices will bring down all other costs," he declared. Trump claims that with the Iran conflict ending, the U.S. economy is "ready to take off and reach unprecedented heights." He has vigorously promoted his tariff policies, stating that they have significantly reduced the trade deficit with China.
