Summary
President Trump reversed course on signing bipartisan housing legislation, prioritizing an election bill and demanding loyalty from allies amid tensions over the war in Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio toured Gulf states to discuss an interim peace deal with Iran, focusing on curbing its nuclear program. Meanwhile, Wall Street rose despite higher inflation driven by the conflict, and GDP growth was revised upward. Internationally, Kenyans commemorated anti-government protests, a heat wave disrupted Italy’s Uffizi Gallery, and a major earthquake struck Japan.
