## Resource

Donald Trump openly admitted the U.S. is fighting Iran in part to help Israel, even as global fears grow that the conflict could spiral further and destabilize oil markets worldwide. After leaving China with few concrete deliverables but signs of temporarily stabilized relations, Trump is now reportedly weighing plans to restart assaults tied to Iran. Meanwhile, Trump escalated attacks on Ro Khanna by saying he “shouldn’t be allowed” on Fox News.
