At the heart of the dispute is Trump\u2019s looming decision on whether to launch strikes on Iran and assist Israel in taking out the Muslim country\u2019s military nuclear capabilities. The President has signaled he is open to direct U.S. involvement, which has sparked alarm among some America First voices, including Tucker Carlson and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who are urging Trump to stick to his campaign promises.<\/p>\n
According to sources familiar with the effort, White House officials began quiet outreach after Carlson blasted out a Newsletter on Monday warning that \u201cmany in Trump\u2019s MAGA movement are not happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUS says it was \u2018not involved,\u2019\u201d Carlson wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s not true. Trump is complicit in an act of war.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later that day, Carlson joined Steve Bannon on his podcast, with both longtime Trump supporters voicing concern about the possibility of America entering its third Middle East war of this century.<\/p>\n
That outreach appears to be working. On Wednesday, Bannon predicted most of Trump\u2019s base will stand with him if he chooses to bomb Iran.<\/p>\n
Trump also revealed that Carlson privately apologized to him on a phone call.<\/p>\n
\u201cTucker\u2019s a nice guy. He called and apologized the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong and I appreciated that,\u201d Trump said from the Oval Office.<\/p>\n
Carlson had spent major political capital backing Trump in the 2024 campaign, championing his promise to keep America out of more foreign wars and focus on priorities at home. But that stance has drawn fire from the hawkish wing of the GOP, with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Fox News host Mark Levin, and others labeling Carlson the leader of an \u201cisolationist\u201d faction.<\/p>\n
