CNN Host Reacts to President Trump's Declining Approval Ratings Among Young Men

US and Iran Negotiators Reach Tentative Ceasefire Agreement Pending President Trump's Approval

US and Iranian negotiators have reached a tentative agreement to extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as confirmed by the White House.

Additionally, it sets a 60-day period for the US and Iran to begin negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program. Despite a recent violation by Iran, which involved firing towards a US military base in Kuwait, the US has maintained its commitment to the ceasefire.
