The Iran war has revealed Trump’s pressure point: the economy - World

Seven weeks of war in the Middle East have exposed President Donald Trump's vulnerability to domestic economic pressure. Despite Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, rising energy costs and inflation have impacted US consumers, prompting a shift from airstrikes to diplomacy. The International Monetary Fund has warned of a global recession, adding to the pressure on Trump to secure a deal that addresses these concerns. While allies like China and Russia may learn from Trump's approach, analysts warn that any deal will likely take months or years to fully resolve the economic damage caused by the war. The conflict has highlighted Trump's unpredictable nature and raised concerns about his commitment to regional security and stability.
