and his Iranian counterpart signed an interim agreement on the Iran War two days earlier
than scheduled.
“As NPR's Greg Myri reports, the country's must still negotiate difficult issues that include”
the fate of Iran's nuclear program. Iran's President signed the deal in his home country, while Trump did so with the opulent French palace of Versailles. Trump also issued this warning to Iran. "If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs
right smack in the middle of their head." The most immediate benefit of the deal should be the opening of the straight-of-hor-moose, where the flow of oil has been largely halted for more than three months. Iran also pledges not to build a nuclear weapon, though the exact scope of the nuclear program must be worked out over the next 60 days in a final agreement.
Iran will now be able to sell its oil freely, a major boost for its crippled economy.
Greg Myri MPR News President Trump is demanding that the U.S. Senate passed a controversial bill on regulating voting in the U.S. but the measure is faced by partisan resistance. Now Trump says he won't let his nominee to be the director of national intelligence J. Clayton move forward until the Senate does this. Clayton is the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, in a complex step.

This is not how checks and balances are supposed to work, but it is where we find ourselves. And here is Eric McDaniel.
“Two researchers at MIT say they believe they've uncovered, now a top secret Russian missile”
actually flies, and Pierre's Jeff Brumfield says Moscow has fired the missile at Ukraine. In October, Russia launched what it said was a nuclear-powered missile. The missile flew from almost 15 hours, far longer than a regular missile could. Jake Hechla is a researcher at MIT. He says nuclear-powered flight is something that is possible, but wildly expensive and
very dangerous. Hechla and his colleagues got camp analyzed the missile. They believe it's sucking air directly through its nuclear core and spewing radioactivity as it flies. And as a result, anyone living near is at enormous risk, potentially.
And the missile, listen to all that useful, he says, despite being nuclear-powered, it's relatively flow-moving and easy to shoot down. You're listening to NPR. Defense Secretary Pete Hechset says the Trump administration is launching a six-month review of U.S. forces based in Europe.
