Trump Says Midterm Elections Won't Influence His Iran Policy Amid GOP Support Decline

Trump Says Midterm Elections Won't Influence His Iran Policy Amid GOP Support DeclinePreviousNext

US President Donald Trump stated that the upcoming November midterm elections will not influence his approach to Iran, emphasizing he has "no time schedule" and is "not in a hurry" to resolve the conflict. He maintained a hard-line stance, urging Iran to "put up the white flag of surrender." Recent polls indicate declining support for Trump among Republican voters ahead of the elections, with approval ratings at a second-term low, though Trump dismissed electoral considerations in his Iran policy decisions.
