With the midterm elections approaching fast, advisers want the president to stay on topics such as the cost of living.

But foreign affairs keep capturing his attention.

While the main focus of the Munich Security Conference was on the alliance, top leaders wanted to know all about November.

After the Supreme Court ruling, the president said he would push ahead with his tariff policy. Republicans running for re-election are anxious.

As the midterms approach, some rank-and-file Republicans are starting to show independence.

The secretary of state addressed tensions over tariffs and Ukraine in a speech at an annual trans-Atlantic gathering.
