Midterm Defeat Forces Trump to Rethink Iran Policy

President Trump's Republican Party suffered a major defeat in the US midterm elections, losing control of both the House and Senate, reflecting voter dissatisfaction and signaling significant shifts in domestic and foreign policy. Democrats, now controlling Congress, can use legislation, funding, and hearings to check the White House. Germany's foreign minister hopes for more discussion on Ukraine, but analysts note Democratic campaigns focused on domestic issues like inflation, not foreign policy. Both parties are pressuring Trump to adjust his Iran war policy, which is seen as worsening economic conditions. Democrats may investigate the war and Defense Secretary, potentially offering Trump a path to end the conflict and ease inflation.
