He didn't fully rule out talks continuing, though he did say negotiators were, quote, "wasting their time." Trump once again criticized
fellow NATO members in Europe for not assisting the U.S. more in its war with Iran. For his
partner, Secretary General Mark Ruta, praised Trump's actions, but also reminded him that European

PR's Bobi Allen reports that's nearly equal to the entire value of the tech giant. Meta revealed the number in a new court filing tied to an upcoming trial slated for August and Oakland. In the filing meta says the estimated damages are grossly exaggerated and have no basis in law. The case centers on claims that meta violated child safety laws and misled consumers about the addictive nature of Facebook and Instagram. The maximum possible damages estimated by states is
nearly the same as meta's $1.5 trillion valuation. But states must first win the trial and if they prevail, damages will be determined by the court. The case this fall in Oakland follows two major courtroom losses for meta in Los Angeles and New Mexico, where a jury awarded the state $375 million after finding the company knowingly harmed children's mental health.
