The director of the White House Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, said this Tuesday (17) that the conflict between the US and Iran will “end soon”, pointing out that the expected deadline is four to six weeks and that Washington is “ahead of schedule”. The conflict is in its 18th day.
In an interview with CNBCHassett stated that Iran is not harming the American economy, which is in “good health.” “The US economy remains fundamentally sound,” he emphasized. “There is no way that Trump will give up on the war before he sees this through to the end.”
According to the director, oil tankers are beginning to cross the Strait of Hormuz, but there are concerns that Asia may be reducing oil exports to the US.
He also said that, when the conflict ends, Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet. The Republican asked yesterday to postpone the summit in Beijing for a month or more, claiming that he needs to continue in Washington due to the war in the Middle East.
