Original Report
President Trump abruptly reversed course on an Iran MOU, despite it having nearly 80% Republican support and positively impacting approval ratings and consumer sentiment, surprising his aides and undermining efforts to build public support. This 'rug-pull' suggests an attempt to outmaneuver Iran but also indicates a lack of trust and coordination within his administration and led to a decline in previously improving approval ratings and consumer sentiments.
