Saudi Uranium Enrichment Deal, Trump Defends Iran War, GOP Congress Out Of Sync

The U.S. has entered a controversial agreement to build and operate commercial nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia, raising regional concerns about a potential nuclear arms race despite Saudi assurances against weapon development. Simultaneously, President Trump faces escalating military tensions with Iran, characterized by ongoing strikes and reports of Iranian uranium enrichment facilities moving underground. Domestically, these foreign policy decisions, coupled with rising inflation and gas prices, are eroding support within Trump’s own base, as evidenced by recent polling. Meanwhile, Republican leadership in Congress struggles to align the House and Senate agendas before the summer recess. Legislative priorities, including Pentagon funding and government operations, remain stalled due to procedural hurdles and internal party divisions, leaving major policy initiatives in limbo until the fall.
