Trump shows apathy about UK-led settlement sanctions, ignoring Israel request for action

The US President has shown a lack of urgency in responding to Israel's request for intervention on its behalf regarding UK-led settlement sanctions. According to The Times of Israel, Israel had asked the US to take action, and Senator Rubio had suggested a response might be forthcoming, but two weeks have passed with no action from Trump.

Trump has claimed he is not entirely familiar with the British decision.

A separate issue is emerging with Republican voters giving Donald Trump less support as his approval ratings for handling the Iran war have fallen, according to a CNN poll. The poll found 60% of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the war, down from 73% in March.
