The US is touting progress toward a peace deal with Iran to end the nearly three-month war, even amid fresh hostilities and uncertainty over the vital Strait of Hormuz. 

Security in the crucial energy waterway remained unclear Tuesday after the two sides exchanged strikes overnight and US Central Command pushed back on reports that suggested the military was helping escort vessels.

The renewed clashes occurred just hours after US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Tehran to extend their ceasefire and reopen the strait are proceeding. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned that any deal would likely take a few days to finalize.

Insight & analysis on the White House and Capitol Hill.

President Donald Trump stressed that he wants Kevin Warsh to independently lead the Federal Reserve, as he looked to downplay investor concern that he would pressure the new central bank chief on policy decisions. 

Warsh, who has promised the biggest shakeup in decades at the US central bank, was sworn into office Friday in a White House ceremony as the 17th chair of the Fed.

“I want Kevin to be totally independent. I want him to be independent and just do a great job. Don’t look at me, don’t look at anybody, just do your own thing and do a great job,” Trump said during the swearing-in ceremony.

Senate Republicans stalemated over President Donald Trump $1.8 billion account to pay political allies alleged to be victims of government “weaponization,” a dramatic setback for the president even as he threatens to vanquish perceived political foes within his own party.

The lawmakers, who are also at odds over taxpayer funding for Trump’s White House ballroom, abandoned plans to pass a partisan $72 billion immigration enforcement package before leaving Washington for a week-long Memorial Day break because of the disagreement over the two Trump priorities.

Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday the Senate would “pick up where we left off” after the break.
