Trump is most vulnerable on cost of living and other economic issues; US to ‘guide’ trapped ships from Gulf, president says – key US politics stories from Sunday 3 May
Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.
Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.
Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Meanwhile, Trump announced the US would “guide” stranded ships through the strait of Hormuz and claimed his representatives were having “very positive” talks with Iran.
