Donald Trump faces political and economic instability

President Donald Trump faces significant political and economic challenges as the US midterm elections approach. Following his return to the White House in January 2025, his administration has struggled with low approval ratings, economic concerns regarding inflation, and legal challenges to his tariff policies from the Supreme Court.

On the foreign policy front, despite claims of mediating conflicts in Gaza and preventing escalation between India and Pakistan, the administration has faced major setbacks. Most notably, following pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US launched bombing attacks against Iran on February 28, targeting nuclear fuel enrichment sites. This military action has met with Iranian resistance and has triggered a global oil crisis due to threats regarding ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
