President Donald Trump’s foreign policy agenda is under growing strain as the Iran war reaches a costly standoff, diplomatic efforts in Gaza and Ukraine remain stalled, and higher gasoline prices add to domestic pressure ahead of November’s midterm elections. Trump has abandoned recent talks with Tehran and launched a campaign of economic warfare after military attacks failed to secure the concessions Washington sought. His approval rating has fallen to 33% in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll. Analysts say his coercive approach can bring adversaries to the table but has not consistently produced lasting settlements, while rivals may wait for the political pressure on his administration to intensify after the elections.
