Trump blames Iran conflict for Republican election loss

President Donald Trump acknowledged that the war with Iran partially contributed to the Republican loss in the US congressional elections. He said he will accept the results and congratulated the Democrats, while vowing to veto their proposals. Trump stated that rising oil prices, rather than the war itself, were the biggest political burden for his administration. The conflict with Iran increased gasoline and diesel prices, causing dissatisfaction among American voters. He did not question the election results and expressed hope for cooperation with Democrats. On Fox News, Trump congratulated Democrats for their hard work and said he would not make personnel changes in his administration. He rejected the idea that the results reflect dissatisfaction with his presidency, calling the past two years the best in presidential history regarding the economy.
