The White House initially tweeted an image of Trump with the all-caps message: 'TRUST IN TRUMP' followed by his quote. Later, they posted a short video featuring a photo of Trump gesturing to keep quiet, accompanied by his extended advice: “To those negatively chirping: quiet. 🤫 It will all work out well in the end - it always does.”
Trump's full post was a response to critics who are growing impatient with the three-month-old war with Iran and its seemingly stalled efforts towards resolution. The ongoing conflict, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has led to a surge in oil prices, which has subsequently driven up fuel costs and contributed to an increase in inflation.
According to CNBC, Trump claimed that Iran had agreed not to develop nuclear weapons but cautioned that Tehran could still 'change their mind.' The war is currently at an impasse as Washington and Tehran have failed to progress from a fragile ceasefire into a more permanent peace deal. Mixed messaging on negotiations has been a recurring feature of the conflict.
Fox News reported that Trump warned further military action was still on the table if talks with Iran fail. He stated that while an agreement would allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, bringing gasoline prices down and preventing additional casualties, he reserved the right to resume offensive action should negotiations collapse or result in a unfavorable deal.
Speaker Mike Johnson said on Wednesday he spent three hours at the White House with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. According to PBS NewsHour, during this meeting, Trump discussed working on 'that final piece' to reopen commerce in the Strait of Hormuz. Johnson also defended the president for suggesting that the war's unpopularity and high gas prices are not impacting his decision-making.
