Republicans face midterm backlash from factory workers over Trump's tariffs

President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that the United States continues to share intelligence with Ukraine, according to Euromaidan Press. These comments follow reports that Washington threatened to suspend intelligence assistance if Kyiv stopped striking Russian oil refineries. While Zelenskyy did not publicly confirm the reported threat, he said Ukraine had refrained from striking the Russian energy sector for two days following Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he wants the war to end. Meanwhile, Al-Monitor reported that Trump accused Yemen’s Houthi militants of attempting to deliberately drive up oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. Trump stated on Truth Social that the group is likely acting at the behest of Iran and noted that he would not forget their attacks on Saudi Arabia.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Trump mentioned that he spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman but did not elaborate on whether the U.S. would offer support in the conflict with the Houthis. He also suggested that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan might join the fight against the group if asked. Additionally, PBS NewsHour reported that Trump's tariffs are causing factory workers to turn against the Republican Party due to fears regarding potential job losses.
