President Donald Trump said American forces stopped fighting Iran months ago. On Monday, after his closing speech before Tuesday's midterm elections, a White House pool reporter shouted a question about whether he would launch strikes on Iran once the vote was over. "No," Trump replied.
In an interview with CBS, Trump rejected the description of the Iran situation as a war. "We haven't been doing any fighting for months," he said, adding that he hoped the conflict would not sway voters "when they go into the voting booth."
In his final pre-election address at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, he said, "We had a war with Iran. We won. We're winning with Iran, easily winning." He also predicted that oil prices are "going to go down a lot further."
