Democrats Seize Control of US Congress, Prompting Global Reassessment of Trump's Foreign Policy and Iran War Outlook

Following a sweeping victory in the US midterm elections, Democrats have gained control of both houses of Congress. This shift is expected to significantly constrain President Donald Trump's domestic agenda and could lead to a re-evaluation of US foreign policy, particularly regarding the ongoing war in Iran. Analysts suggest the electoral setback might increase pressure on Trump to pursue a negotiated resolution to the conflict, contributing to a slump in oil prices due to increased bets on an Iran war exit. The outcome also dims hopes for a potential meeting between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
