President Donald Trump said he expects the war with Iran to end “immediately” after the November midterm elections, claiming Tehran is trying to influence the vote by prolonging the conflict.
Trump, 80, made the comments to reporters at Joint Base Andrews Wednesday before boarding the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One for Dallas, where he is attending the Republican Party’s first national midterm convention. His departure was delayed after an emergency slide deployed on the aircraft and had to be checked before he boarded.
