“NPR's D.A. Hadid reports President Trump reposted a screenshot of the Foreign Minister's”
statement on his social media account. "So, here's our ambassador, Okshe, said on ex that what he called, the Islamabad "namorandum of understanding," quote, "has never been closer." The reference to Islamabad is because Pakistan is mediating these efforts. That statement was quickly reposted by President Trump, without comment.
Shortly afterwards, the Pakistani Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, also posted on ex that he could confirm that, quote, "a final agreed upon text or the deal had been reached." He added, "Peace has never been this close as it is now." It is so far unclear what the memorandum contains. It may include a 60-day ceasefire and mutual blockades of the street of her mourns being

The President's Trump's name is being removed from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. today, a judge denied a request to pause in order to take his name off the performing art institution, which serves as a living memorial to John F.

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration's nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. The judge said the move was necessary despite Justice Department's statements that the
fund was not moving forward, and P.R.'s Ryan Lucas reports. At a court hearing on a lawsuit challenging the fund, U.S. District Judge Lee and he bring him a said the public statements from DOJ officials that the Department was abandoning the fund were not sufficient. She noted the President Trump continues to publicly support the fund, and that the government
has refused to formally declare under oath that the fund is indeed dead. Judge Brinkham had therefore issued a preliminary injunction blocking the fund, but she gave the Justice Department one week to provide a clear, unambiguous declaration under penalty of perjury signed by the acting attorney general and the U.S. Treasury Secretary that the fund will not move ahead.
If it does so, the judge said she will likely dismiss the lawsuit. If the government does not do so, then the case will move forward. Ryan Lucas and P.R. News, Alexandria, Virginia. Team U.S.A. makes its 26-world cut premiere tonight facing off against Paraguay in Los Angeles.

Biden's Prime Minister Keer Starmer has suffered another blow to his leadership after his defense and armed services ministers both resigned, and PR's Fatima Al-Kasal reports. In his resignation letter, former defense secretary John Healy accused the British Prime
Minister of being unable and his treasury unwilling to spend the money needed to defend the U.K. at what he called a dangerous time of rising threats. Healy said the government's plans fell way short at a time when the U.K. has said there could be an attack by Russia or NATO. Starmer has insisted the government is providing the largest increase in defense spending
since the Cold War.
“But this has left Britain's defense plan in disarray just weeks before a key NATO summit,”
and it comes at a perilous time for the Prime Minister who could face a leadership challenge this summer. Fatima Al-Kasal and PR News London.
