Even Americans who voted for him and those identifying as Republicans are at odds with the president on this high-stakes issue.

President Donald Trump indicated that he might hold off on attacking Iran for now after saying he was reassured by sources “on the other side” that the government in Tehran would stop killing people involved in widespread protests.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that starting Feb. 1 he will deny federal funding to any states that are home to local governments resisting his administration’s immigration policies, expanding on previous threats to cut off resources to the so-called sanctuary cities themselves.

David Urban, a senior adviser on Trump’s 2016 campaign and now CNN’s senior political commentator, said the daily images of masked ICE agents violently manhandling people—coupled with the shooting of Minneapolis woman Renee Good—threaten to tank support for Trump ahead of the crucial midterm elections.

Pollsters have tracked the president's approval rating after Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by an ICE officer, later identified as Jonathan Ross, on January 7.

Trump proposed a new timeline for when Americans can expect $2,000 tariff dividend checks in a recent interview.

"We have been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, it has stopped, it's stopping," he told reporters in the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon. "And there's no plan for executions or an execution or executions. So, I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about it."

The White House called President Trump’s reaction “appropriate" after video showed him responding to a heckler during a visit to a Michigan Ford plant.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he had been told that killings in Iran’s crackdown on protests were easing and that he believed there was no current plan for large-scale executions, adopting a wait‑and‑see posture after earlier threatening intervention.

US President Donald Trump indicated Wednesday that Iran has backed away from executing a detained Iranian protester for joining anti-government demonstrations after his case drew the attention of human rights activists and the US State Department.
