Trump's Iran Deal Draws Skepticism From 2024 Voters, Reuters Poll Finds
Reuters/Ipsos found most of 18 Trump voters interviewed doubted Tehran would honor the deal and feared it could hurt Republicans in the midterms.
- President Donald Trump signed an interim agreement to end the war with Iran at the Palace of Versailles on June 17, dragging down his approval rating even as recent military skirmishes tested the fragile ceasefire.
- The agreement grants Iran access to $100 billion in frozen assets and establishes a $300 billion private reconstruction fund while reopening the Strait of Hormuz and suspending U.S. oil sanctions.
- Interviews with 18 Trump voters show skepticism regarding the deal, with many citing gas prices soaring above $5 a gallon and fearing unpopular concessions could jeopardize Republican control of Congress in November.
- Congressional Republicans remain divided: Senator Bill Cassidy called the deal the worst foreign policy blunder in decades, while Senator Ted Cruz said giving Iran billions was an exceptionally bad idea.
- Though some loyal supporters hope Trump has secret plans to bring Iran to heel, negotiations continue over nuclear material enriched to near weapons-grade levels as the ceasefire remains fragile.
