US midterms threaten Republican majority as foreign policy challenges mount

As the US midterm elections approach, President Donald Trump's political standing is coming under scrutiny regarding key foreign policy decisions. Presidential advisers are reportedly advocating against military escalation with Iran, warning that a conflict could lead to significant electoral losses for the Republican Party in November.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian analysts and former diplomats warn that if Republicans lose control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Washington's focus could shift away from international affairs toward domestic political battles. During a visit to Kyiv, a visiting delegation of US lawmakers reaffirmed bipartisan commitment, stating that "Ukraine must sit at the negotiating table with a strong position." However, members acknowledged that partisan gridlock in Congress continues to delay critical legislation, including proposed sanctions against Russia.
