President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he thought the US would make a deal with Iran after mid-term elections are held on November 3.
"I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election," Trump said during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
