President Trump has expressed to aides his desire for a swift end to the Iran
war, aiming for its conclusion within weeks. Nearly a month into the conflict,
he believes it is in its final stages and has urged advisers to follow the
four-to-six-week timeline he publicly set. White House officials anticipate the
war's end before a mid-May summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. However, peace
talks are still in early stages, and Trump has been diverted by other issues,
such as the midterm elections and immigration policies, viewing the war as a
distraction.
