Trump to Hold Press Conference Amid Iran Conflict
- President Trump is set to hold a press conference on Monday, his first since the U.S. and Israel began military actions against Iran.
- The conflict has caused gas prices to soar, reaching around $4 per gallon in the U.S., raising concerns among voters.
- Trump's recent social media post included aggressive language towards Iran and threats of increased military action if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
- Polling indicates a decline in Trump's approval ratings, particularly among Republicans, as public opposition to the war grows.
