Trump told his staff he hoped to end the war with Iran as soon as possible.

Odaily Odaily reports that US President Trump has told his aides he wants to avoid a protracted war with Iran and hopes to end the conflict within the coming weeks. The problem is that Trump doesn't have an easy way to end the war, and peace negotiations are still in their early stages. In discussions with external political allies, his attention sometimes drifts to other topics, including the upcoming midterm elections, his decision to send immigration officials to airports, and his strategy of pushing Congress to pass legislation tightening voter eligibility rules. An informed source revealed that Trump told a colleague that the war was distracting him and preventing him from focusing on other priorities. Another person who recently spoke with Trump said the president seems prepared to shift his focus to the next major challenge, but Trump did not specify what. Some allies want him to turn his attention to Cuba, while his close advisors want him to focus on the issue that voters care about most: the cost of living, which the war has exacerbated. White House Press Secretary Levitt stated, "President Trump is very good at multitasking and can handle multiple challenges simultaneously. The president is fully committed to achieving the military objective of striking Iran. The president's only goal has always been victory." (Wall Street Journal)
