Live updates: Trump's 'America first' agenda faces a new test as Israel strikes Iran
With a new Israeli military operation underway, President Donald Trump is facing a fresh test on his ability to make good on a campaign promise to disentangle the U.S. from foreign conflicts. The challenge lands at the same time he's dealing with domestic turmoil: Opponents of his administration are set to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday during the military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary, which coincides with Trump's birthday. Update: Date: 2025-06-13 11:58:43 Title: Appeals court temporarily blocks judge's ruling to return control of National Guard to California Content: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on Tuesday. The ruling came only hours after a federal judge's order was to take effect at noon Friday. ▶ Read more about the court ruling Update: Date: 2025-06-13 11:55:58 Title: WATCH: Hegseth says the Pentagon has contingency plans to invade Greenland if necessary Content: Update: Date: 2025-06-13 11:55:07 Title: Ask AP reporters a question Content: We'll answer a few each day during our live coverage. Update: Date: 2025-06-13 11:52:36 Title: Israeli strikes on Iran lead to new test of Trump's ability to deliver on 'America first' agenda Content: Just hours before Israel launched strikes on Iran early Friday, President Donald Trump was still holding onto tattered threads of hope that a long-simmering dispute over Tehran's nuclear program could be resolved without military action. But with the Israeli military operation called 'Rising Lion' now underway — something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says will go on for 'as many days as it takes' — Trump will be tested anew on his ability to make good on a campaign promise to disentangle the U.S. from foreign conflicts. 'I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal,' Trump said in a Friday morning social media post. 'I told them, in the strongest of words, to 'just do it,' but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done.' ▶ Read more about the new test to Trump's agenda
