WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s efforts to exit the war in Iran are causing tension within the Republican Party. His approach, marked by threats followed by a shaky ceasefire, has sparked criticism from some conservatives. Laura Loomer, a conservative activist, opposes negotiating with Iran, while former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for Trump’s removal. Despite social media backlash, Republican leaders in Congress remain mostly silent. The GOP faces uncertainty as midterm elections approach, with concerns about Trump’s handling of the situation and its impact on voters. Rising gas prices and potential military involvement add to the challenges.
