Donald Trump says "a tiny little bit more for your gasoline" to block nuclear‑armed Iran

A Reuters/Ipsos survey published Monday put public approval of President Donald Trump’s performance at 33 percent, his weakest showing since taking office; 64 percent said they disapprove. The release came as a 60-day negotiation window under a U.S.-Iran memorandum was set to close with no broader peace deal, and amid public concern over U.S. hostilities with Iran. At a Friday rally in Garden City, New York, Trump responded to high gasoline prices by arguing that modestly higher fuel costs are an acceptable trade-off for preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. Separately, a Financial Times poll found 53 percent of voters say they are worse off under Trump; Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Darrell West said inflation is outpacing wage gains and straining household budgets.
