  "account": "US President Trump is launching a campaign amid low poll ratings, with a Reuters/Ipsos survey on August 31 showing a 33% approval rating, the lowest of his career. His popularity has been affected by inflation and the ongoing conflict with Iran, which has driven up energy costs in the US.

Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House later this month. A helicopter carrying 14 people made an emergency landing in Virginia after one of its engines failed.",
