## Key points

- Trump predicts oil and petrol prices will fall soon.
- He cited Iowa petrol prices below $2 per gallon.
- Hyde-Smith faces a tighter than expected Senate race.

## Summary

Donald Trump told a Mississippi rally that oil and petrol prices would fall “very soon”, despite saying he had expected oil to become much more expensive because of the Middle East war. He also praised the United States as “the hottest country in the world” and dismissed a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran as a “waste of time”.

Trump was campaigning for Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, whose re-election race has become closer than expected. He cited petrol prices of $1.85 to $1.95 per gallon in Iowa and claimed Mississippi incomes were at record highs and poverty was at a historic low. The Cook Political Report rates the Senate race “likely Republican”; Democrat Scott Colom has narrowed Hyde-Smith’s lead to single digits in some polls, though analysts say he still faces an uphill contest.
