On Sept. 9 at Andrews Joint Base, President Trump said he expects the conflict with Iran to end after the U.S. midterm elections in November, saying the U.S. is not seeking negotiations and that Iran cannot sustain the fight. He also said Iran is attempting to influence the vote to install softer leadership and pursue nuclear weapons. On oil, Trump said prices will take longer than the midterms to ease but insisted they will fall sharply once the conflict ends.
