Key Points:
- Donald Trump’s approval rating has reached its lowest point during his presidency, with over 60% of Americans disapproving of his job performance.
- His rating on economic issues, particularly the cost of living, has declined sharply following his war against Iran, which triggered a global oil crisis and pushed gas prices to a four-year high.
- Two-thirds of Americans believe the country is moving in the wrong direction amid these developments.
- Despite tensions, Trump announced plans for the US to assist stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz and described ongoing talks with Iran as “very positive.”
