Has Trump lost control of his own party? | The News Agents USA

Besides Trump's threat to eliminate Iran, something else remarkable happened this week. A string of Republican Congressmen finally found the courage in themselves to come forward and criticise that threat. Trump's actions in the Middle East are a disaster for his colleagues. Gas prices are up, the affordability agenda is in tatters, and America looks on course for a humiliating military defeat to an old adversary. Is this the catalyst for widespread rebellion in the Republican party? Jon speaks to Marc Short, Trump's director of legislative affairs, about what happens now in Iran - and to the Republican's in the midterms later this year. #trump #usa #uspolitics #republicans #democrats #iranwar #iran #middleeastconflict #tehran #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents website: https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
