肯塔基州希伯伦，3月11日（路透社） – 伊朗战争打响第12天，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将焦点重新转向国内议题，于周三前往肯塔基州，以推广其经济计划，共和党人则敦促他解决民众对生活成本上升的日益担忧。
此次总统竞选之旅是美国与以色列对伊朗发动军事行动以来的首次国内行程。这为特朗普在11月中期选举前强化其经济主张提供了机会，届时共和党将捍卫美国国会参众两院的微弱多数席位。

特朗普计划在肯塔基州北部及邻近的俄亥俄州辛辛那提市的两场活动中发表讲话。白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特无法说明特朗普为何选择这两个特定地点，但肯塔基州该选区也是共和党众议员托马斯·梅西的家乡。梅西是特朗普的批评者，曾多次与共和党阵营决裂。
梅西曾高调推动特朗普司法部就与已故定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件的处理工作提高透明度。
特朗普已支持将在5月党内初选中对阵梅西的共和党候选人。

据路透社报道，特朗普在公开讲话中预计将重点阐述其降低部分处方药价格的努力，这是共和党人试图解决选民经济关切的关键卖点。
这是特朗普近期在全国范围内发表的一系列推销其经济政策的演讲之一，但这些演讲常被其对外政策所掩盖，尤其是最近导致汽油价格飙升的伊朗战争。
旅行组织AAA的数据显示，肯塔基州和全美范围内的汽油均价较上月上涨了61美分。
特朗普本周早些时候在社交媒体上表示：”短期油价在伊朗核威胁被消除后将迅速回落，这是非常值得付出的小小代价。只有傻瓜才会有不同想法！“
肯塔基州尤宁市67岁的退休焊工比尔·孔克尔告诉路透社，他担忧伊朗战争和特朗普关税政策将继续影响这个以物流和制造业闻名的地区。
“我投票给特朗普是因为他会让我们摆脱所有这些战争。这也是我支持梅西的原因之一——不能让战争永远持续下去，”孔克尔补充道，指的是梅西对特朗普对伊朗发动战争决定的批评。
梅西在采访中表示，他欢迎特朗普来到他的选区，因为两人拥有大量共同支持者。
“我一直小心翼翼，从不侮辱总统，从不给他起绰号。如果我在政策上与他有分歧，我会明确表达并仅限于此，”他说。
特朗普支持前海军海豹突击队军官、农民埃德·加尔雷恩挑战梅西，特朗普称加尔雷恩”素质很高”，而梅西则被特朗普称为”不可靠”。加尔雷恩竞选团队表示他将出席总统的活动。
肯塔基州尤宁市退休联邦政府雇员兼政治评论员拉里·马祖凯利表示：”对梅西的不满情绪正在增长，部分原因是他不支持总统。”

As Iran war rages, Trump pivots to cost of living in Kentucky trip
March 11, 2026 10:02 AM UTC / Reuters
HEBRON, Kentucky, March 11 (Reuters) – Twelve days into the Iran war, U.S. President Donald Trump is refocusing on domestic issues, traveling to Kentucky on Wednesday to promote his economic plans as Republicans urge him to address rising concern over the cost of living.
The president’s campaign trip is his first since the start of the U.S.-Israeli military operation in Iran. It offers Trump a chance to sharpen his economic message ahead of the November midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending narrow majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress.

Trump is due to deliver remarks at two events in northern Kentucky and nearby Cincinnati, Ohio. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt could not say why Trump had chosen to go to those places in particular, but the Kentucky district is also home to Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, a Trump critic who has frequently broken with his party.
Massie led the high-profile push for more transparency from Trump’s Justice Department’s handling of files connected to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump has endorsed the Republican candidate who will face off against Massie in the party’s primary in May.

In his public remarks, Trump is expected to focus on his efforts to lower some prescription drug costs, a key selling point for Republicans trying to address voters’ economic concerns.
It is the latest in a series of speeches Trump has delivered around the country to sell the American public on his economic policies, but they have often been overshadowed by his policies abroad, most recently the war in Iran, which has caused gas prices to soar.
Gas prices are up 61 cents on average in both Kentucky and nationwide compared to last month, according to travel organization AAA.
“Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay,” Trump posted earlier this week, “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!”
Bill Kunkel, a 67-year-old retired welder in Union, Kentucky, told Reuters he is concerned about how the Iran war and Trump’s tariff program will continue to affect an area known for logistics and manufacturing.
“I voted for Trump because he was going to get us out of all of these wars. That is one of the reasons why I agree with Massie – it can’t just be a forever war,” Kunkel added, referring to Massie’s criticism of Trump’s decision to go to war against Iran.
Massie said in an interview that he welcomes Trump to his district as they share a lot of the same supporters.
“I’ve taken care to never insult the president, to never call him names. If I have a policy disagreement with him, I articulate it and keep it to that,” he said.
Trump has endorsed Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL officer and farmer Trump calls “high-quality,” to take on Massie, a man Trump calls “unreliable.” Gallrein’s campaign said he will attend the president’s event.
“There is growing dissatisfaction with where Massie is, and part of it is not supporting the president,” said Larry Mazzuckelli, a retired federal government employee and political commentator from Union, Kentucky.
