President Trump arrives at the G7 Summit in France, buoyed by a new preliminary U.S. deal with Iran. After meeting with his host, French President Emmanuel Macron Trump said, "The deals said to be signed this week would extend a ceasefire by 60 days in the war and reopen the straight of our moves."
The strain is already partially opened, as you know, they're doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they've already found, but it's essentially ships are starting to go out. Now on Friday, it'll be completely opened."
“However, the memorandum of understanding does not resolve several key issues such as the”
fate of Iran's nuclear program. Trump says that was the main reason for launching the war in that Iran has fully agreed to not having a nuclear weapon. Iran is demanding an end to international sanctions and wants billions in overseas assets unfrozen.
Qatar and Pakistan help mediate the agreement, and PRSDA Hadid reports, "Bakistan's Prime Minister says his country will facilitate meetings in the run-up to assigning ceremony in Switzerland Friday." The Pakistani Prime Minister, Shabash Sharif, said in a post on eggs, that mediators would facilitate meetings this week.
He described them as pre-implementation discussions that are expected to lay foundations for technical talks. The post was a reminder that while the U.S. and Iran have agreed in principle to end their
“war, there's still multiple disagreements that must be resolved.”
The war began in late February after the U.S. and Israel struck Iran. Neighboring Pakistan has been leading mediation efforts to try resolve a conflict, tapping into its good relations with both Iran and the U.S. D. Hadid and P.N.U.s. Mumbai.

The Fox Corporation is buying Roku in a multi-billion-dollar deal, then PRSDA
Kristen Wright has more. Fox's CEO calls it a defining moment for the company. It proposes to buy Roku in a cash and stock deal valued at around $22 billion. The acquisition would bring together Fox's new sports and entertainment content with a major
“streaming platform with a vast audience.”
Fox would have access to Roku's $100 million household globally, and the chance for more advertising dollars in the race to gain streaming audiences. To shift from Fox's reliance on traditional cable TV, Fox says it's streaming service tobe will operate separately alongside the Roku channel. The deal could close in the first half of next year.
It still needs shareholder and regulatory approvals, Kristen Wright and PR News. This is NPR. President Trump's name has been removed from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. PR's Debbie Elliott says Trump's name came down after he lost a cork battle. The grounds of the Kennedy Center were quiet Sunday afternoon.
Blue striped tarps remain draped over the building's marble facade where workers had removed the letters spelling Donald J. Trump and in compliance with a court order.
They should never have been up in the first place.
Teacher Monica Brooks says she wanted to see the center restored to being named solely for President John F. Kennedy. "It's a memorial for a dear president that died, you know, it's like putting his name on his grave, you know, it's not, it's bizarre." A federal judge ruled only Congress has the authority to change the name.
