Donald Trump made clear on Wednesday that neither the economic pain of the Iran war nor its political consequences will push him toward a deal with Tehran. Speaking at a cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump said he did not "care" about this year's midterm elections and was unconcerned about surging energy prices, arguing that Americans "understand" the aims of the conflict. "They know that very simply, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I'm doing that for the world, I'm not doing it just for us," he said.
