Iran

One of the more difficult problems facing Trump is the situation in Iran. He is currently on the negotiations path but Iran has proven to be an unreliable negotiator. This means the use of force and many feel this means bombing their nuclear facilities. Iran has huge supplies of oil and natural gas and a small population so they have no need for nuclear power, which means they are going to use enriched uranium for bombs. Once they get a couple bombs, they will use rockets from North Korea to deliver the bombs and Israel is a small country and using a first strike they could knock out the country. This is what they have said it their goal. Should the world wait or take action. To prevent a first strike it is necessary to take out the places where bombs are produced and stored. This can be done since Iran has no air defense. If that is the path chosen then step two would be to take out the military, which would allow the people to revolt and toss out the leadership. The question then becomes should the US allowed Israel to attack Iran using US made bunker busters, or should the US take on the task or would a joint operation be best. This is what Trump is facing and regardless of whether he acts or not he will be castigated by the press. They will wait until things are over and then pontificate on what he should have done. Trump knows this and also knows that the buck stops on his desk.
