[Trump Admits Iran War Dragged Down Republican Campaign, But Doesn't Regret Launching the War] BlockBeats reports on November 4th, citing the Wall Street Journal, that US President Trump stated the Iran war was partly responsible for the Republican Party's widespread losses in the midterm elections. However, he still insists he doesn't regret launching the war, despite its drag on his approval ratings. For months, he has been trying to end the conflict and has complained to advisors that it has become a persistent problem. Trump said, "I haven't thought about it. I did the right thing. If I had to do it again, I would still do it." Trump believes the biggest political burden isn't the war itself, but the soaring oil prices. The conflict caused a sharp rise in US gasoline and diesel prices, sparking voter discontent. He argued that voters didn't refuse to support the Republican Party because of economic dissatisfaction or accusations of corruption within the Trump administration. He also stated he doesn't regret not talking more about the economy during the campaign. Trump said he has no plans to reshuffle government personnel and expressed support for Defense Secretary Hergsays, who spearheaded the war effort. He said, "In fact, I think he's been excellent."
