President Donald Trump stated that oil prices will decrease and the war with Iran will end immediately after the US midterm elections. Trump linked the high oil prices to the conflict with Iran, claiming that Iran's desperation to influence the US election would lead to the war's resolution and a subsequent drop in oil prices, potentially below $2 a gallon for gasoline. He asserted that Iran is struggling economically and controlled by the US on key fronts.

WHY IT MATTERS

The statement links geopolitical events and US elections to future oil price movements, with significant implications for consumers and the global energy market.
