Former Trump ally Megyn Kelly slams Iran war as ‘disaster’ for America

Megyn Kelly has criticized the Iran war, calling it a “disaster" for the Trump administration.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, the former Trump ally warned that the conflict is already affecting the global economy, especially fuel prices and the aviation industry.

“American, European, and Middle Eastern airlines are now completely changing their forecasts for this year,” she said.

This comes after Donald Trump lashed out at Tucker Carlson and Kelly, who have both spoken out against the war.

Kelly said her advice to the president would be: “Give the Iranians the deal they want.

“They seem to be willing to deal on the Strait of Hormuz.”
