特朗普第二任期已进入新阶段，其多项外交政策目标遭遇全面挫折 [1]。与伊朗的冲突已持续六个月，未能实现快速解决的承诺 [1]。特朗普2月28日曾宣称美国军事行动将摧毁伊朗军队并阻止其核野心 [1]，但伊朗政权反而更趋强硬，并控制了霍尔木兹海峡以扩大地区冲突 [1]。
在其他关键议题上，特朗普同样遭遇挫折。他承诺向乌克兰提供爱国者导弹技术，随后又收回了这一承诺 [1]。在加沙问题上，虽然特朗普宣布了一项协议，但哈马斯和以色列均未接受其条款 [1]。与沙特阿拉伯的核能协议也陷入停滞 [1]。
这一系列外交挫折之际，特朗普的国内政治支持率创历史新低，仅次于尼克松水门事件前夕 [1]。尽管特朗普筹集了超过8亿美元支持其议程 [1]，但民主党预计将在中期选举中以微弱优势赢得众议院 [1]。
President Trump's second term has entered a challenging phase marked by the failure of major foreign policy initiatives across multiple fronts.[1] A six-month conflict with Iran has proven far more protracted than initially promised, with Trump declaring on February 28 that American military action would destroy Iran's military and prevent its nuclear ambitions, yet these objectives remain unmet.[1] Instead, Iran has consolidated control over the Strait of Hormuz and intensified regional tensions.[1]
Beyond Iran, Trump's diplomatic efforts have stumbled across the broader Middle East and Eastern Europe.[1] He pledged to provide Ukraine with Patriot missile technology but subsequently reversed course.[1] A Gaza agreement announced by Trump was rejected by both Hamas and Israel, and a proposed nuclear energy partnership with Saudi Arabia has stalled.[1] These setbacks come as Trump's approval ratings have reached historic lows, now only marginally higher than Richard Nixon's at the height of the Watergate scandal.[1] Despite fundraising over 800 million dollars in support of his agenda, Trump faces anticipated losses in midterm elections, with Democrats projected to narrowly capture the House in November.[1]
