Trump calls Iran conflict 'small potatoes', says he agrees with Vance that it's not 'war'
US President Trump now calls the Iran conflict 'small potatoes' and agrees with Vice President Vance that it isn't a 'war'. Strikes have become intermittent, costing taxpayers $37.5 billion, with 18 US deaths. No troops have been deployed, only air strikes since February 28. This signals de-escalation, though officials won't say it'll end before November's midterm elections. Businesses should watch for shifts in West Asia tensions.
