Will Donald Trump Pull the U.S. Out of NATO
Description
Hawk opens the morning from the West Coast, running on little sleep after earthquakes and a sick dog, with a rundown of overnight developments that paint a grim picture of where the country is headed. Gas hit $4.02 per gallon nationwide overnight, the highest since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a stark contrast to Trump's campaign promise to bring prices down on day one.
The US reportedly used 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs on an Iranian ammo depot, but also struck a civilian desalination plant providing drinking water to a city of 2.5 million people, a likely war crime under international law. Trump took to Truth Social to tell the UK and France to go get their own oil, openly dismissing two of America's closest post-World War II allies while threatening to leave them without US military support.
Pete Hegseth, after weeks of claiming Iran's military was fully degraded, was forced to admit at a morning press conference that Iran still retains the ability to strike. Iran has since hit targets in Israel including the Dimona nuclear site, launched a rocket 4,000 kilometers, and destroyed a $500 million AWACS jet on a Saudi base. Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33% in a UMass Amherst poll, and reports indicate he is bored with the Iran war and looking for an exit, potentially without resolving the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
