The war with Iran costs the US billions and may become Trump's electoral problem

The war with Iran has already cost the United States approximately $38 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and the first quarterly report on Operation Epic Fury puts the expenditure at close to $34 billion. The conflict has led to shortages in strategic supplies, and it could take up to five years to rebuild some weapons. The war is affecting gas prices and inflation, which could become an electoral problem for Donald Trump, who promised a cheaper life in America. At the same time, there is a war in Ukraine, and the Republicans are preparing tools to put pressure on Moscow instead of a peace agreement. Reuters/Ipsos polls show that 35% of Americans have a favorable view of Trump's job performance, 44% support Democrats and 37% support Republicans in the November 3 congressional elections. The coming weeks of the campaign will focus on Americans' questions about the cost of living, safety and the fulfillment of election promises.
