Trump AI Summit, US Pulls Out Of Iraq, SCOTUS Third Country Deportations
Summary
President Trump signed a "morally binding" agreement with tech leaders to self-regulate AI risks, while launching a new government AI tool. Meanwhile, US forces fully withdrew from Iraq, leaving Kurdish regions vulnerable to Iran-backed militias. The Supreme Court also temporarily allowed the administration to resume deporting immigrants to third countries, a move advocates argue causes irreparable harm.
