"Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm damn Roman.

President Trump says a deal between the United States and Iran has been reached, and

PR's Michael Love at reports."

"Ships of the world, start your engines, let the oil flow, Trump wrote in the truth

social post announcing the deal, stating that the U.S. and Iran have agreed to open the state of Hormuz. Iranian state media have also reported on the deal, signaling that Tehran is on board. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, which had been mediating the talks, also confirmed the deal on social media, stating that both sides have agreed to immediately halt hostilities

on all fronts, including in Lebanon. He also stated that assigning ceremony is expected to take place on June 19th in Switzerland. Michael Lovett and PR News, Washington." Within the last hour, President Trump left Washington D.C. for the G7 summit in France,

there are the leaders of the industrial democracies, are expected to discuss the U.S. is

really war against Iran, and the resulting higher-energy prices and inflation its cause. Josh Lipsky is the chair of the International Economics Department at the Atlantic Council and worked in the Obama administration. "Price pressures, gas, energy, and this then drives growth down.

And so this is the number one thing they want to try to resolve at this meeting going forward.

It's a less optimistic, global economy than they expected. Although still resilient, thanks to AI and some other drivers, so it's a mixed picture." While not officially members of the G7 leaders from India, Brazil, South Korea and Kenya are expected to participate in some of the sessions. The European Union will formally start the ascension process for Ukraine and Moldova

a Monday. Terry Schulz tells us the two nations, the process, has been sped up due to Russia's war against Ukraine. "European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula Vondalin say it the beginning of negotiations on EU membership for Ukraine and Moldova indicates

"recognition of the determination, courage, and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges." Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said his country has done everything necessary to get to this stage, and that he expects the process to move quickly.

That will still take several years at a minimum.

The decision by all EU governments to move ahead came after former Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, who opposed Ukrainian membership, was voted out of office in April.

The number of screwworm cases continues to rise according to the Department of Agriculture. There are now 12 confirmed infestations, 11 in Texas, one in New Mexico. Texas Public Radio's David Martin Davies has more. The latest confirmed case of the New World Screwworm is in a sheep in Sutton County, 135 miles northwest of San Antonio.

The tracking of the flesh-eating parasite shows it has moved beyond the Texas Mexico border zone and into the Texas Hill Country. The screwworm is a parasitic fly that attacks cattle, sheep, goats, wildlife, pets, and rarely people. A screwworm fly lays hundreds of eggs in an open wound or body opening such as a nose

in a living, warm, blooded animal, the rapid infestation can be deadly. Livestock owners are being urged to inspect animals regularly and immediately report a suspected infestation to a veterinarian. Screwworm poses a potentially devastating threat to the cattle industry. For NPR news on David Martin Davies in San Antonio.

Before the midday crash, the plane had conducted two short flights, 11 people on the plane were skydivers. The 12th victim was a pilot of the aircraft. This is NPR news from Washington, I'm Daniel Romano. This is our glass.
