Trump Faces Backlash Over Iran Strikes, Oil Prices Soar

The administrations decision to grant a waiver on Russian oil sanctions is criticized for aiding Moscows war efforts in Ukraine. Democrats seize the opportunity to attack Republicans over rising expenses, while Trump calls on allies to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has divided Trumps base, with energy officials warning of prolonged high prices, potentially boosting Democratic chances in Novembers elections.
