Obama and Trump spar at rallies in Georgia and Ohio: Key takeaways

Five days before the midterm elections, Barack Obama and Donald Trump held rival rallies in Georgia and Ohio, clashing over the Iran war, tariffs and the economy. At a rally in Atlanta, Obama called the war unnecessary and said it had made Americans less safe. He warned that US missile stocks had been depleted and said Iran now had veto power over the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to higher oil prices. US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28; ceasefires and efforts to secure lasting peace have since fallen apart.
