Trump to address nation as Iran war batters approval
President Donald Trump is set to address the nation on the Iran war, amid plunging approval ratings and economic jitters. The speech will be Trump's first formal national address on Iran from the White House since launching the war a month ago.
President Donald Trump will deliver a prime-time address to Americans on the Iran war. The speech is expected to reassure the nation that US goals are being met and that he has a plan for completing the war. Trump has claimed a major breakthrough, saying Iran's president was seeking a ceasefire, but this was denied by Iran's foreign ministry. The war has roiled the US economy and driven Trump's polls into negative territory. Recent polling shows Trump's overall approval rating slipping below 40 percent. The economic picture has compounded the problem, with gasoline prices surging and consumer confidence weakening.
