U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that the upcoming midterm elections would not influence his approach to Iran. Speaking to reporters en route to Ohio, Trump addressed Middle East tensions and the conflict in Europe. Regarding the escalation by Yemen's Houthis and its potential impact on the U.S. midterms, Trump clarified, "I don't know how it affects the elections and I don't take it into account. I just know that Iran will never have nuclear weapons, and that has already happened. They will never have nuclear weapons, but the Houthis are behaving improperly."
When asked about the war in Europe and the parties' positions on a ceasefire he claimed to have advanced, Trump responded, "We are examining it and are not satisfied." In response to journalists' claims that Russia and Ukraine deny agreeing to a ceasefire, he asserted, "They agreed because I said they agreed, and this matter must be resolved. This war is a disaster. Did you see the numbers published this month? 32,000 people were killed, most of them young soldiers, and they must reach an agreement."
Confronted with reports of Russian ceasefire violations, Trump said he would investigate but added, "There have been violations by both sides." He also commented on an energy ceasefire proposal, addressing claims that Putin did not support it. "I think both support it and want to reach an agreement, but they don't know how. We will bring them to an agreement and achieve it," Trump stated.
