Trump has emphasized that U.S. taxpayer funds are not involved, claiming Gulf States will front the reconstruction costs, with detailed plans to be finalized after 60 days.The poll also indicates that 40% of Republicans support Trump&#8217;s proposal to unfreeze Iranian assets and grant sanctions waivers for iran to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iranian-general-and-hezbollah-leader-killed-by-same-airstrike-reports\/\" title=\"Iranian General and Hezbollah Leader Killed by Same Airstrike: Reports\">sell <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >oil abroad<\/a><\/a>, with slightly more Democrats (42%) supporting this.
