President Trump dismissed the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran by labeling it a "military conflict" rather than a "war," a designation he downplayed as "small potatoes" during an Oval Office event on Friday. This pivot comes just ahead of the Republican National Committee's first-ever midterm convention, scheduled for next week in Dallas, Texas. The administration is hoping to rally voters ahead of the midterms, despite growing frustration over the Iran conflict and the domestic economy. Trump signed an executive order on beef on Friday, designed to lower grocery prices and court agricultural voters by protecting cattle herds from gray wolves and investigating livestock market competition.
