Iran War: Stocks Rally Ahead of Trump Speech on Mideast Conflict | The Pulse 4/1

President Donald Trump will deliver a speech on Wednesday at 9 p.m. Washington DC time to give an update about the war in Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
The plans for a prime-time address come after the US president said that he foresaw the US ending the war in Iran in the coming weeks. Trump said on Tuesday the US had largely accomplished its military goals and would leave it to other nations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil.
