President Donald Trump on Sunday raised the possibility that the United States could remain in Iran to "keep the oil," comparing the idea to his administration's oil agreement with Venezuela as the months-long war continues to push up U.S. fuel prices.
"We'll ultimately get out unless we decide to stay and keep the oil, like Venezuela," Trump told reporters in Doonbeg, Ireland. He again predicted the conflict would end after November's midterm elections and said Iran "wants to make a deal so badly, and is calling constantly."
