The way that Trump is thinking of foreign policy, it seems, is when he talks about America First, it's to withdraw from these relationships and these connections.

And then he kind of acts like a mob boss: "Well, you know, you take Eastern Europe and I'll take the Western Hemisphere. And then you over there, you get Asia, and we'll just divide it up. Right?"

We are very optimistic that the talks are ongoing and we are in contact with our partners.

The Iranians are better at handling the Fake News Media, and “Public Relations,” than they are at fighting!

The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways.

The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate!

I might. I’m thinking about it.

An Israeli official said there is no formal ceasefire in Lebanon but acknowledged a “very significant reduction” in strikes and said the political leadership has imposed new restrictions on military operations.

On the very day the ceasefire was declared, Israel barbarically massacred hundreds of Lebanese people.

This genocidal network, blinded by blood and hatred, continues to kill innocent children and women without regard for any human values or rules.

Is imposing the death penalty solely on Palestinian prisoners not tantamount to using the law as a tool of racist fascism?

Is there any fundamental difference between Hitler's monstrous policies toward the Jewish people and this decision passed by the Israeli parliament with such triumphant fanfare?

Aren’t all these actions just another manifestation of denial, destruction, oppression, and political repression directed at the Palestinian people?

They amount to implementing an even worse version of the apartheid regime that was dismantled in South Africa in 1994.

"Trump appears in recent conversations ​with advisers to have conceded the ⁠Strait of Hormuz, a hub of global commerce that remains effectively shut despite a fragile ceasefire, is unlikely to completely reopen soon," a White House official said.

A White House official said it was "Trump's decision alone" to send Vance to Pakistan for the talks and that the president will make the final call about what deal ​is acceptable.

Another White House official said the Iranians had indicated they wanted Vance to ‌get involved ⁠in the talks.
