Trump doubles down on claims US will win war with Iran ‘one way or another’ as talks are in doubt – US politics live
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) on Monday said President Trump should end the Iran war as the conflict hit its seven-month mark, during which gas prices have soared and contributed to Americans' concerns over the cost of living. Capito made the remarks during an interview with "NewsNation Live"
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Trump rejecting an Iranian proposal tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with NBC, ABC, CBS, CNBC, Axios, the New York Times, the Guardian, the BBC and the Washington Post all leading on that decision. The main divergence is emphasis: Sky News and the BBC foreground Iran saying diplomacy or negotiation is still the only path, while CNBC and the Independent focus on market and consumer effects. CBS’s late item is the only one to frame the story explicitly as Iran putting the choice between war and diplomacy to Trump.
