Trump Comments on Iran War Spark Market Gains
Trump said Monday the war with Iran could end soon. He gave no clear timeline.
Trump told CBS the United States-Israeli operation was 'very complete, pretty much.' But he also said 'we haven't won enough.' His mixed signals moved stock markets and oil prices. The ongoing United States-Israeli operation has disrupted global oil trade. It could spread across the Middle East.
