Disapproval rises as Trump faces Iran tensions and cost-of-living concerns

Trump’s approval rating has sunk to its lowest point of his presidency (62% disapprove), with broad disapproval on handling the Iran war and the cost of living as about two-thirds say the country is headed in the wrong direction. The administration floated a plan to “guide” ships through the Strait of Hormuz with unclear Navy involvement. Other headlines include Rubio’s Rome trip to thaw relations with Italy and the Vatican, concerns over Pentagon staff purges, and claims about an attempted attack on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, underscoring a day of political turbulence.
