United States President Donald Trump adopted a more conciliatory tone following the midterm election rout, acknowledging the electoral impact of public dissatisfaction over inflation and foreign policy while simultaneously warning that he is prepared to use his presidential veto power to block incoming Democratic legislative priorities. President Trump acknowledged that voters expressed frustration over the economic fallout from the military campaign in Iran, but defended the administration's actions and insisted he wants to find areas of compromise where possible to avoid complete paralysis in Washington.
