U.S. stocks appear set to open on a strong note on Tuesday despite President Donald Trump stating that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire he announced a few hours ago.
“I gotta get Israel to calm down now,” Trump said while leaving the White House, according to a Reuters report. “Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.”
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing.”
