It’s been less than a month since the U.S. Began military action in Iran and President Donald Trump is reportedly “getting a little bored” with the conflict and “wants to move on” to other initiatives.
A Shifting Focus?
Reports from MS NOW indicate White House sources believe the President’s waning interest in the war. This sentiment was echoed by The Wall Street Journal, which reported on Thursday that Trump has told associates he wants to wrap up the war in the coming weeks.
However, resolving the conflict is complicated by Iran’s continued blockage of passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which is driving up global energy costs. A former Trump official told MS NOW that simply declaring victory won’t be enough if Americans continue to pay $4 per gallon of gas.
Representative Don Beyer (D-Va.) criticized the President’s reported boredom, calling him “beyond despicable” for appearing disinterested in a war that has already resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members and more than 150 schoolchildren in a U.S. Missile strike.
Future Conflicts?
Trump and allies, including Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), have signaled a potential focus on Cuba after the situation in Iran is resolved. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated this month that the U.S. Embargo against Cuba “is tied to political change on the island.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office also criticized Trump’s reported attitude, stating that American soldiers are dying and consumers are paying more for fuel while Republicans cut essential services to fund a war that was initiated by the President.
