At a Wisconsin campaign event on the 5th, Trump said the US will "quickly
disentangle" from the Iran conflict, removing a key driver of elevated prices
and predicting "fertilizer prices will plunge back to levels from four months
ago." He told NBC that Iranian leaders have not yet agreed to end the fighting
but that "in the end they have no choice" but to reach an agreement. Trump also
said the US has "completely destroyed" Iran's military capability while
Acknowledging Iran still retains roughly 21–22% of its missiles and some drones.
US media and Republican officials say the conflict has pushed up oil and living
costs, weighing on GOP prospects ahead of the midterms and prompting calls for a
shift to domestic economic issues.
