President Donald Trump is initiating a series of weekly speaking engagements across the United States, starting Tuesday in Iowa, aimed at bolstering voter support ahead of the November midterm elections. The White House confirmed that the focus will spotlight economic and energy issues, amidst growing frustration from senior aides and Republican lawmakers.

The administration's concern stems from domestic discontent over Trump's foreign policy focus, overshadowing economic and healthcare challenges critical in this election year. Recent polls show widespread disapproval of Trump's economic management, adding to the party's midterm election challenges.

With Trump's presidency linked to military operations abroad and diplomatic ventures, his economic message struggles to gain traction. In response, the White House has unveiled populist economic proposals intended to alleviate cost-of-living burdens; however, experts doubt their effectiveness and potential political impact before the elections.
