Trump says prices will be lower after the war, cites ongoing talks
The Guardian released a 1 minute 29 second video on September 22 in which its political editor, Pippa Crerar, questioned President Donald Trump on the economic impact of the US war in Iran on US allies. The clip was published as part of the Guardian’s US politics live coverage.
According to the Guardian’s description of the video, Crerar asked Trump whether he had any sympathy for allied countries suffering from the devastating economic consequences of his war in Iran. The Guardian paraphrased Crerar’s question rather than quoting her directly.
Trump responded in two parts, the Guardian reported. He said he was confident prices would be lower after the war and that talks were under way. The Guardian did not include a full transcript of the exchange in its write-up of the video.
The video carried the title Guardian political editor asks Trump about Iran war economic consequences. It was published as part of the Guardian’s US politics live coverage on September 22. The Guardian’s description did not specify which allied countries Crerar referenced, nor did it detail the specific economic consequences she cited.
