USA: What will Trump say about the war in Iran?

US President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a statement regarding the military operation "Epic Fury" in Iran, which began on February 28.

According to a White House official, Trump will reiterate that the US military has achieved its goals, such as destroying Iran's missile capabilities and ensuring it does not acquire nuclear weapons. The goal is to complete the operation within two to three weeks.

Amid polls showing American reservations about the war, Trump may also raise the issue of the US withdrawal from NATO, something he did not rule out when questioned by The Telegraph newspaper. He insists that allies should help in the Strait of Hormuz, while reiterating that NATO is expensive for American taxpayers.

Polls show a decline in public confidence in Trump's handling of the economy.
