Trump is planning to cut tariffs on some steel and aluminum products to address the cost of living crisis plaguing Americans, which has dragged down his approval ratings ahead of the November midterm elections. The U.S. government is currently reviewing the list of products affected by the tariffs and plans to exempt some goods, halt the expansion of the list, and instead launch more targeted national security investigations into specific products. According to a Pew Research Center poll released this month, more than 70% of American adults believe the U.S. economy is in fair or poor condition. Approximately 52% of Americans believe Trump's economic policies have worsened the economic situation.
