At the G7 Summit in France, senior Trump administration officials have unanimously read to reporters the entire war-ending memorandum of understanding the U.S. as it has with Iran. According to the framework, both sides agree to permanently stop military operations on all fronts and take measures to reopen the straight of Hormuz. The officials say the U.S. agree to lift its sanctions once a final deal is in place,
and both sides figure out what to do about Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium. They've got at least 60 days to negotiate a final agreement. Monitoring President Trump's remarks at the G7's conclusion, and P.R.'s Greg Myri says the President also addressed Iran regime change. "Trump said, as I wrote down here in my note, he said, "I didn't do this for regime
“change, but I think this is regime change.”
The first group of people were killed, the second group of people was killed.
So we have a third group." So he has been throughout, as he's been very fuzzy on this point, whether he wants regime change, whether there has been regime change." NPR's Greg Myri reporting faced with the highest inflation in more than three years. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady this afternoon.
And P.R. Scott Horsley reports policy makers hinted that their next move could be a rate hike. President Trump is hoping that the new Fed Chairman will oversee lower interest rates, but with a wartime spike in energy prices pushing inflation in the wrong direction, lower rates will have to wait.
Uptated forecasts from Fed policy makers show they no longer expect to cut their benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point this year, as they did in March. Instead, the average committee member is now projecting a quarter point rate increase.
“Consumer prices in May were up 4.2 percent from a year ago.”
That's the biggest annual increase since 2023. While gas prices have come down in recent weeks, they're still about $1 a gallon higher than when the U.S. launched its war with Iran. Scott Horsley, MPR News, Washington. The U.S. Department of Education says it is offloading one of its signature responsibilities
to another federal agency. NPR's Cory Turner says protecting students' civil rights will gradually become the job of the Justice Department. The Education Department's office for civil rights, known as OCR, investigates discrimination in schools.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced a partnership to move that work to the Department of Justice. OCR has been a prime target of efforts to dismantle the Education Department. Hundreds of attorneys there have been fired, then many were unfired, but paid not to do
“their work, before finally returning to work as families civil rights complaints mounted.”
Ken Marcus, who ran OCR during Trump's first term, said, "If done right, this change
could mark a critical step forward for students."
Scott Catherine Layman, who ran OCR under President Obama and Biden, called the move "a terrible idea," Cory Turner and PR News. This is NPR. The man who admits to being the Gilgobe Beach serial killer has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Today, Rex Huerman appeared in court. He said little as family members of his victims were in court and given a chance to address him directly. The woman was arrested at 2023, he plea a guilty-napperless strangling, eight sex workers to death and dumping their remains across Long Island.
As a judge handed down the sentence he told here, and he was disgusting and a coward, the defendant's ex-wife and two grown children were not in attendance. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today refused to allow one of the passengers from the cruise ship hit by deadly heart of virus outbreak to finish her quarantine at home. NPR's Rob Stein has details.
Angela Perryman is the only passenger still being held against their will at a federally funded quarantine unit in Nebraska. Every other passenger who wanted to leave has been allowed to finish their 42-day quarantine at home. The Perryman is being confined under a mandatory federal quarantine order because the state
of Florida is refusing a federal demand that a guard be posted outside her home 24/7. Florida and many independent public health experts say a guard is unnecessary and an internal CDC review agreed, but Kennedy says he disagrees, so Perryman will continue being held.
