Trump asserts “I’m the boss” as G7 allies back tentative Iran deal

The Group of Seven summit concluded on Wednesday in France with world leaders expressing surprise relief as President Trump avoided major conflicts with traditional allies.

Despite an assertive start where he reportedly told the room "I'm the boss," Trump secured collective support for his tentative agreement to end the war with Iran. European leaders, particularly French President Emmanuel Macron, used a strategy of hospitality—including a lavish dinner at the Palace of Versailles—to keep the summit focused on diplomatic cooperation. Beyond the Middle East, the leaders aligned on shifting support for Ukraine’s military goals and securing international supply chains for critical minerals.

Trump is now expected to release the full text of the Iran agreement within the next few days to address lingering skepticism from domestic and international critics.

It's disgusting that the person with the most power in our system behaves like a child, especially during serious events like the Iranian war.

I believe that Trump should not meddle in international affairs and maintain neutrality.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
