00:00Let's move on and give you a sense of what really the implications are for Donald Trump as a result
00:05of this U.S. midterm election result.
00:08Well, it weakens Trump's political authority and the fact that with no control of the House of Representatives or Senate,
00:14he will have to bring the Democrats on board also with decisions that he takes.
00:19They could derail, Democrats could derail and curtail Trump's tariff plan.
00:24India included will be affected by that.
00:27Democrats, of course, are not like Trump.
00:30They don't believe that his tariff game plan is working.
00:32And so they're going to curtail his plan of imposing more and more tariff as he has.
00:37Congressional scrutiny on Iran war to mount.
00:40Look, let's be very clear that Trump is still the executive, still calls the shots.
00:44But there will be scrutiny, questions, more criticism, more answers to give on the part of Donald Trump on the
00:50war.
00:51Democrats may move to impeach Trump again.
00:54Now that they have the numbers, they'll do it.
00:56But it will be symbolic, but still important messaging.
00:59Trump cabinet members will be subpoenaed as well.

01:10falls out in the next few months.
