  "summary": "A new poll has found that Americans are increasingly skeptical of government information, with majorities saying they have little or no trust in federal government information about elections and politics, foreign affairs, or the environment.\n\nThe US midterm convention, described as a \"Trump-a-Palooza\", is taking place in Dallas, Texas, where President Donald Trump is due to speak. According to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, there was an awkward glitch with his Qatari-gifted Air Force One just before he boarded.\n\nPresident Trump has made comments about the conflict with Iran, stating that he expects the war to end \"immediately after\" the US midterm elections, as reported by the Jerusalem Post and Politico EU. He claims that Iran is trying to influence the vote to get a weaker Congress. The conflict has caused oil prices to rise, with diesel fuel hitting a record high and regular gasoline averaging $4.22 per gallon, up from $4.01 one month ago, according to Politico EU.",
