Trump says Iran war will end "soon" as Qatar pushes for U.S.-Iran deal
President Trump claims his war with Iran will come to an end "soon" as Qatari mediators push for a deal days before the midterms. CBS News senior national security correspondent Charlie D'Agata breaks it down.
US Senator Chris Van Hollen has stated that the oil industry in the United States, which includes President Donald Trump's associates, has earned $130 billion in profits due to the ongoing war in Iran. Simultaneously, American families have faced over $1,100 in increased fuel expenses. In a post on social media platform X, Van Hollen remarked, "Since Trump started this illegal & senseless war in Iran, his buddies in Big Oil have made $130 BILLION in profit and added that US oil companies are 'literally profiting off working people's pain.'" He further emphasized, "To save lives & lower costs, this war must end."
