BlockBeats News, June 6th - During a campaign event in Wisconsin on June 5th, U.S. President Trump stated that he would quickly end the war with Iran to eliminate a key factor driving high prices. Trump said at the event in an agricultural area of the state, "We will soon be getting out of the Iran situation," and "the price of fertilizer will drop significantly back to the level of four months ago." As the midterm elections approach, the American media generally believe that the U.S.-Iran conflict has caused oil prices to rise, increased the cost of living, and put pressure on the Republican Party's prospects.
Furthermore, there are hopes within the Republican Party that Trump will quickly rid himself of the Iran issue's drag and focus on economic and livelihood issues. According to NBC News, on the 5th, Trump stated that Iranian leaders have not yet reached an agreement with the United States to end the conflict, but he also said at the same time that in the end, "they have no choice" but to reach an agreement. Trump said that the U.S. has "completely destroyed" Iran's military capabilities in this conflict, but he also acknowledged that Iran still has some missiles and drones, stating, "Proportionally, there are probably still 21% to 22% of the missiles. Although the number is still significant, it is far less than the scale when we first launched the attack." (Xinhua News Agency)
