If tensions between the U.S. and Iran 'rise a little bit,' it does make President Trump look strong ahead of the elections, Cedric Chehab, global head of country risk at Fitch Solutions, told CNBC.
President Donald Trump could use tense relations with Iran to his advantage — as long as the situation doesn't get out of control, Cedric Chehab, global head of country risk at Fitch Solutions, told CNBC.
If tensions between the U.S. and Iran "rise a little bit," it does make Trump look strong ahead of the elections, he said. That's because it will look like he's fighting "one of America's foes," which could be "good in terms of corralling some of the support from his base," Chehab added.
