President Donald Trump hints at an announcement in the 'next two days' on Iran nuclear talks
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday indicated there was progress with Iran on its nuclear program and hinted that an announcement could come in the 'next two days.'
He was notably more upbeat than the Omani mediator of the talks between the United States and Iran, who said Friday that the two nations made 'some but not conclusive' progress in the fifth round of negotiations in Rome.
'We've had some very, very good talks with Iran,' Trump told reporters in northern New Jersey after leaving his golf club, where he spent most of the weekend. 'And I don't know if I'll be telling you anything good or bad over the next two days, but I have a feeling I might be telling you something good.'
He emphasized that 'we've had some real progress, serious progress' in talks that took place on Saturday and Sunday.
'Let's see what happens, but I think we could have some good news on the Iran front,' Trump said.
Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Michael Anton, the State Department's policy planning director, represented the U.S. at the talks at the Omani Embassy in Rome.
The two countries are discussing how to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting some economic sanctions that the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Republic.

Junk Fees, Airport Security, No Tax on Tips: 7 Travel Bills in Congress We're Tracking
Although travel isn't at the top of Congress' agenda, lawmakers in Washington are discussing several bills that would impact the industry. Travel and tourism isn't at the top of Congress' agenda, which this month is dominated by debate over the President Donald Trump-backed 'big, beautiful' tax and spending bill. But that doesn't mean that lawmakers aren't attempting to make laws that would directly affect the hotel, lodging, air travel, and cruise industries. Here are seven such federal bills to watch heading into the summer: 1: Hotel Fees Transparency Act of 2025 Introduced by Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.), this bipartisan bill targets 'unfair and deceptive advertising of prices for hotel rooms and other places of short-term lodging.' Bill co-sponsors include Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Russell Fry (R-S.C.), Kevin Mullin (D-Calif.), Craig Goldman (R-Texas), Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) and André Carson (D-Ind.). The bill mandates that hotels and short-term rental providers must: Display the 'total services price, if a price is displayed, in any advertisement, marketing, or price list wherever the covered services are displayed, advertised, marketed, or offered for sale.' Disclose 'the total services price at the time the covered services are first displayed to [an] individual and anytime thereafter throughout the covered services purchasing process.' Disclose before a final purchase 'any tax, fee, or assessment imposed by any government entity, quasi-government entity, or government-created special district or program on the sale of covered services.' The bill passed the U.S. House on a voice vote in April. The U.S. Senate is now considering the measure. There, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) has introduced a Senate version of the Hotel Fees and Transparency Act of 2025, which is co-sponsored by Sens. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Shelley Moo

About That ‘Panel' of M.D.s
As Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel notes in his May 27 letter, the nation deserves to have the president monitored by more than one doctor. He suggests a panel of three independent physicians, whose ethical duty would be to the American public, each chosen by one of three large and prominent medical associations: the American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Count me as skeptical. Why should we expect a group of physicians to be objective and nonpolitical in such a politically charged time? Does anyone think such a panel—largely made up of physicians chosen by liberal medical associations—would give a clean bill of health to Donald Trump? Recall that each of those groups is vested in the dogma of DEI, the opposite of disinterested nonpartisan inquiry. They put identity politics above excellence.

Trump says Musk went 'CRAZY,' suggests cutting government contracts for his companies
President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at Elon Musk as their feud rapidly ramped up, calling him "CRAZY" and suggesting that he may terminate the Tesla CEO's government contracts. Trump in a vicious Truth Social post wrote that Musk was "wearing thin" by the end of his tenure leading the president's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. "I asked him to leave," Trump claimed. "I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.
