U.S. President Donald Trump took to Iowa, a crucial political landscape, to galvanize support from his rural followers amidst rising tensions over immigration policies and a stressed agricultural economy.

While federal agents' actions in Minnesota led to public outrage, Trump's visit highlighted challenges in the U.S. farm sector, with uncertainties over biofuel policies and trade weighed heavily on local farmers.

The Republican president's economic claims faced scrutiny, reflected in polls disapproving his management of the cost of living, posing challenges for the upcoming midterm elections where the party's congressional hold is at stake.
