Trump Says Oil Prices That Spiked Due To Iran War Likely Won't Come Down Until After Midterms

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says oil prices that spiked because of the Iran war likely won’t come down until after the US midterm elections. Oil prices jumped more than 3% today, pushing international Brent crude past the $100 threshold for the first time since July as salvos between the U.S. and Iran escalated. Trump, in an exchange with reporters before traveling to Dallas for the midterm Republican convention, added that he believes Iran will finally relent after the pivotal elections are held in the U.S.
