President Donald Trump is shrugging off spiking gas prices amid the ongoing war with Iran that now threatens to drag into the summer.
Twelve weeks into a war that the President originally projected would last just six, Trump said he was in no rush to end the conflict.
‘I’m in no hurry. Everyone is saying, “Oh, the midterms.” I’m in no hurry,’ Trump said in response to a question about striking a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Vice President JD Vance struck a similar tone on Tuesday during a White House press briefing, arguing that the Iran conflict is not a ‘forever war.’
