Donald Trump,Domestic Policy,Foreign Policy
President Trump's trip to Iowa on Tuesday marks a pivot to domestic issues in a make-or-break midterm year, after an intense focus on foreign trade and settling wars during the first 12 months of his term.
Mr. Trump will promote his economic and energy plans as voters say he has been too focused on overseas matters and not enough on their pocketbooks.
The president will also boost Rep. Zach Nunn, an Iowa Republican defending a swing seat this cycle.
The Iowa visit will kick off a series of weekly trips by the president during the midterm year, according to the White House. Cabinet officials will also travel more as part of the domestic policy blitz.
