特朗普: "I don't want to become another Hoover; reaching a deal is to avoid an economic collapse."

Odaily reported on Wednesday that U.S. President Trump, speaking after the G7 summit in France, defended the agreement reached with Iran, stating that he does not want the Middle East conflict to continue, which could trigger an economic disaster. Speaking at the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains, Trump said, "One thing I want to avoid most is an economic disaster. If this conflict continues, it is entirely possible." Trump said he does not want to become another Herbert Hoover. In October 1929, when the U.S. stock market crashed, Hoover was president, and the crash erased billions of dollars in wealth, eventually leading to the economic crisis known as the Great Depression.
