Trump faces falling approval ratings and foreign policy hurdles ahead of US midterms

US President Donald Trump faces mounting domestic and international challenges ahead of upcoming congressional midterm elections, as fresh polling indicates a decline in public support.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey, Trump's approval rating dropped to 33 percent, driven in part by public apprehension regarding extended foreign conflicts. The political headwinds arrive as Republicans prepare to defend congressional majorities, with potential shifts carrying significant implications for foreign aid and policy toward Ukraine.

Simultaneously, diplomatic schedules have experienced disruptions. A planned mission to Kyiv by US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner was temporarily postponed following intensified missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital, though sources indicated the visit remains on track for a later date.
