Four takeaways from Trump's address: No end date for Iran war, no direct criticism of NATO

On an early spring night, President Donald Trump used his first primetime White House address to explain his rationale for the war against Iran, offering few new details while amassing extraordinary executive authority over the operation. The speech capped a day flexing presidential power that began with Trump becoming the first sitting president to attend a US Supreme Court hearing. He briefly nodded to Artemis II’s lunar launch before turning back to a conflict that has killed more than a dozen US service members and shows no easy exit.
