US midterm elections approach as Donald Trump's approval rating drops

With under three months until the US midterm elections, United States President Donald Trump faces growing political pressure as public approval for his administration fell to 33 percent, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The decline reflects widespread public anxiety over the prospect of an extended military conflict with Iran, posing challenges for Republicans seeking to maintain control of Congress.

In diplomatic affairs, a scheduled visit to Kyiv by special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner has been temporarily postponed following intensified Russian missile and drone attacks against the Ukrainian capital. Sources confirmed the trip remains delayed rather than canceled. Meanwhile, commentators continue to analyze the broader implications of the administration's foreign policy strategies, including recent announcements regarding defense policy directives, which critics argue risk undermining long-standing international alliances.
