There are not many in the USA that have confidence in the Trump administration and while it is difficult to tell whether the majority Republican Congress will act there is still vast opportunity with Iran and the P4 +1. Considering there is no emergency session of the US Congress or it's committees that is a sign as to the future of any action by them. They are easily intimidated by Trump and his anger.

President Putin has already addressed that in calling Israel's Prime Minister to Moscow, but, the future is not set in stone. There are many that want to see Iran succeed. I have a strong suspicion former US Presidents are already involved in their own initiatives to protect from the zealotry of Trump and Israel.
Tomorrow is a concern, but, today is business as usual until all the ships captains have a chance to reassess and set a path forward. Hopefully, Wall Street will convey the message to the US Congress it will be hurting for campaign dollars that will go elsewhere on the political spectrum and the Congress will decide Trump is not so important in the first place. Lots can happen, the only question is, will it?
