  "account": "US President Donald Trump has cancelled two personal campaign rallies in Iowa and Kansas ahead of the congressional elections. Instead, he will make phone calls to support Republican candidates. The rallies, initially planned for the weekend, were set to take place in states where Republicans are expecting close contests. Trump had planned over 30 rallies in October, and had completed 25 by Thursday. Separately, Trump has met with Admiral Brad Cooper, head of US Central Command, to discuss military options in Iran, including a naval blockade of Iranian ports and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.",
