Trump says U.S. and Iran are ‘very close’ to a deal — days after Iran said it was breaking off talks

President Trump said Sunday that the United States and Iran were “very close” to a deal to end the three-month war between them and said Tehran had agreed in principle to give up its pursuit of a nuclear weapon. “We’re very close,” Trump told Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press. “They’ve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons.” Trump’s framing of the talks as nearly finished is at odds with where Iran’s government appeared to leave them earlier in the week.

Beginning with a throw-in along the left touchline, just inside the opponent’s half, the World Cup co-hosts tried to break down the visitors to no avail, eventually recirculating back to the center-backs to survey their next route. Amid all that, Sergiño Dest stayed upfield to offer an outlet if a line-breaking window presented itself. Even when lined up as a nominal defender – he has logged most of his 38 international caps as a

More Republicans are breaking with Trump. Is it conscience or politics? | US politics

The wrath of Donald Trump has kept congressional Republicans in line for much of his second term thus far. But as the November midterm elections draw closer, the president’s allies in the Senate and House of Representatives appear increasingly willing to defy a president who appears to have asked lawmakers for too much in some areas and too little in others, all while the public sours on his administration.
