9 hours ago
President Donald Trump says the ongoing conflict with Iran will end "very soon," predicting that Americans will see lower prices and stronger job growth once the fighting concludes.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Wasilla, Alaska, Tuesday night, Trump expressed confidence that the United States is nearing victory and reiterated his commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"We're very close to winning," Trump told supporters. "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, let me put it that way."
The president also tied the outcome of the conflict to the U.S. economy, predicting that an end to the fighting would bring financial relief to American households.
"Jobs are going to be unbelievable. Your costs are coming way down anyway," Trump said, adding that prices would come "tumbling down" once the conflict ends.
Trump did not provide a specific timeline for when the fighting would conclude or detail how quickly consumers could expect to see lower prices.
The remarks come as the administration continues to emphasize its military objectives in Iran while addressing concerns about the conflict's impact on energy costs and the broader economy.
Trump's comments were part of his latest campaign appearance as Republicans work to rally voters ahead of November's midterm elections.
