David Satterfield: former US Ambassador in the Middle East on whether Trump rejecting Iran deal will impact US mid-terms

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

There's uncertainty if the looming mid-term elections will influence Trump's handling of Iran.  The US President's rejected an Iranian proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz within seven days - saying Iran was losing badly. Tehran's Foreign Ministers says the only way to end the conflict is with a negotiated solution. Former US Ambassador in the Middle East, David Satterfield, says the economy will unquestionably hurt Trump at the mid-terms.  "Is the mid-term, is that November date a trigger point, somehow, for some different strategy - either immediately before or after? It's very difficult to say." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
