President Donald Trump said he’s losing confidence in Iranian negotiators, the latest sign that the renewal of armed hostilities in the Middle East could drag on. Speaking during a Cabinet meeting on Friday, Trump took issue with missile attacks that Iran launched earlier this week against US forces in Jordan that ended a multi-day pause in fighting. “I’m losing faith in them because they do lie and do, they do misrepresent,” Trump told reporters during the meeting at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.

Meanwhile, Michigan’s Senate primary is emerging as the biggest test yet of whether the Democrats’ progressive wing can notch a major victory in a presidential battleground heading into 2028 — or if the movement’s historic shortfall with Black voters will undercut its national ambitions.

Gen. Wesley Clark, Retired Four-Star General in the US Army, Served as Commander of US Southern Command, founder of Wesley K. Clark and Associates

President Donald Trump said he is open to the possibility of temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general amid opposition from two Republican senators, suggesting he could renominate his pick after those lawmakers departed office.

Trump’s comments come amid a delay in the confirmation process for Blanche, currently serving as the acting attorney general, to take the role on a permanent basis.

Republican Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas are demanding written guarantees that plans for a $1.8 billion fund to pay victims of alleged government weaponization are being scrapped. They also want assurances that a provision in a legal settlement giving Trump, members of his family and his businesses immunity from past Internal Revenue Service audits would not apply to third parties. Trump reached a settlement with the IRS over leaks of his tax information in 2019.

President Donald Trump said the US would strike back at Iran after a recent attack that targeted a military base in Jordan, as the war in the Middle East flared up once again following a recent pause in hostilities.

“We’ll be hitting them hard,” Trump said in a phone interview, Fox News reported Wednesday, adding that “they’re going to get a beating.”

The comments sent oil surging back above $90 a barrel. A days-long halt to strikes ended Tuesday night after US forces said they were targeted by Iran — in what Trump called a “surprise attack” — while Iran’s state-run IRIB News said the US struck a location in the country’s West Azerbaijan province. 

Iranian media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a base in Jordan in response to “aggressive US actions,” without giving details.
