A majority of Americans don't want the U.S. to get involved in the escalating war between Israel and Iran, a poll released this week found. The big picture: President Trump is slated to make a decision "within two weeks" on whether to join Israel in its effort to eliminate the Iranian nuclear program,

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the US president believes there is a "substantial chance of negotiations" with Iran "in the near future".

President Donald Trump has been making increasingly sharp warnings about the possibility of the U.S. joining in attacks against Iran.
