Kentucky Republican Primary Tests Trump's Political Influence
Share:
Republican congressman Thomas Massie, one of Donald Trump's most prominent critics within the party, faces a crucial test in Kentucky's Republican primary election. The race has become one of the most expensive primary contests in U.S. history, serving as a measure of Trump's continuing influence over the Republican Party. Meanwhile, Trump has escalated tensions with Cuba and Iran. The U.S. president expressed growing impatience with Cuba's government as the island nation faces fuel shortages due to American economic blockade, with Trump not ruling out military intervention. He also renewed threats against Iran's regime, warning that if it does not change course, there will be severe consequences.
