CNN reported on the 30th (local time) that President Donald Trump faces simultaneous, mounting challenges at home and abroad. The network says he has failed to find a clear exit strategy in the conflict with Iran, and his political troubles at home are growing. Trump has taken a hard line, demanding that Iran abandon its nuclear program and that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened. But U.S. and Israeli strikes have not toppled the Iranian regime, and a blockade of the strait appears to have strengthened Iran’s bargaining position.At home, Trump’s standing is under pressure over a roughly 2.7 trillion KRW (approximately $2.025 billion) fund dubbed the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” Republicans have pushed back, saying the fund’s intended beneficiaries are unclear and voicing concern that it could even provide payouts to people who participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Some ten Republican senators recently urged the White House and the Justice Department to withdraw the funding plan.His efforts to purge Republican senators he deems insufficiently loyal from primary ballots have also provoked backlash. Analysts warn that if intraparty divisions deepen ahead of the midterm elections, they could significantly undermine governance.#Trump #IranWar #US #ExitStrategy #Israel #Hormuz #DemocraticParty #RepublicanPartyYonhap News TV inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/LINE jebo23 Kang Eun-rae (rae@yna.co.kr)
