Speaking to reporters, Trump claimed the Houthis, acting on Iran's orders, had resumed attacks to artificially inflate oil prices ahead of the U.S. elections. He asserted that the U.S. had ceased attacking them at the Houthis' own request.
Trump also addressed the conflict in Ukraine, denying reports that intelligence sharing with Kyiv had stopped. He suggested both sides desired an end to the fighting but were unsure how to achieve it, adding that Russia would export diesel globally as part of an agreement with Vladimir Putin.
Regarding Iran, Trump described it as a failing nation with a "terrible" economy and 301% inflation, though he mused that the U.S. might have "gone too far" in eliminating its senior leaders.
