President Donald Trump’s second term has been marked by a burst of foreign-policy activity, culminating in a U.S.-led war with Iran that has rattled energy markets and intensified debate at home about whether the White House is neglecting domestic priorities. Recent polling has shown significant shares of Americans saying Trump spends too much time on international matters despite his “America First” positioning.
US War Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Americans to pray daily for Armed Forces members in harm's way during a press briefing on Iran. CBS anchor Margaret Brennan criticized the remarks for invoking Jesus' name and accused the administration of using religious references to justify war. Historical precedents show similar calls for prayer by past leaders.
