Although Trump said he was frustrated by the possibility that a side conflict in Lebanon could derail a larger peace, he said he remains optimistic that he will have a deal with Iran “fairly quickly”, according to New York Post.

He also “crowed about record-high stock market values, showing the US economy is resilient, and dashed predictions of even higher oil prices”, the outlet said.

“Everyone said it was going to be $300, $400 a barrel, it’s 98 dollars a barrel, but that’s not a big price to pay if you look at the possibility of them having a nuclear weapon,” he said.
