Trump Says Meeting On Iran Planned For Thursday
Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. and Iran would continue talks on Thursday for a nuclear deal, adding that Tehran was a tough negotiator and that the main impediment to an agreement was over enrichment. "We're doing a lot of work on Iran right now," Trump told reporters at an economic event at the White House. "It's tough. ... They're great negotiators." "They're just asking for things that you can't do. They don't want to give up what they have to give up," he added. "They seek enrichment. We can't have enrichment. We want just the opposite. And so far, they're not there." "They have given us their thoughts on the deal. And I said, you know, it's just not acceptable," Trump said as Tehran plans to hand Washington a counter-proposal. Trump also said he discussed Iran among other topics with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, adding that the call went well.

Did Trump invoke the Insurrection Act in Los Angeles amid protests? What Marines' mobilization means
After President Donald Trump reportedly deployed about 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid protests on Monday, claims about the Insurrection Act being invoked surfaced on social media. Marines being mobilized in California marks another escalation in Trump's response to anti-ICE street protests over his aggressive immigration policies. A US official told Reuters and AP that a Marine battalion would be sent on temporary duty until more National Guard troops could reach the scene. Marines have previously only been deployed domestically for major disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the September 11, 2001, attacks. The Trump administration has yet to confirm the nature of the latest deployment.

The official added that the situation was fluid and could change. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a US federal law that empowers the president to deploy military forces domestically to suppress insurrections, rebellions, or domestic violence that hinder law enforcement or obstruct federal authority. The president can deploy active-duty military or federalized National Guard to: Suppress an insurrection against a state, upon the governor's request. Restore order when a rebellion obstructs federal law execution. Protect civil rights or quell domestic violence if state authorities fail to do so.

No congressional approval is needed, though the Posse Comitatus Act (1878) generally limits military law enforcement roles unless authorized. The Act was invoked in 1808 against a Lake Champlain smuggling ring and in 1832 during South Carolina's Nullification Crisis. Presidents Eisenhower (1957, Little Rock) and Kennedy (1962–63, Mississippi and Alabama) used it to enforce desegregation against state resistance.
