Live updates: Trump lashes out at Israel, Iran for breaking ceasefire; Powell heads to Hill
Share and Follow


President Trump ripped into Israel and Iran on Tuesday morning, as the outlines of a ceasefire he announced Monday took hold and quickly fell apart.

“We basically, we have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing,” Trump told reporters at the White House before taking off for a trip to The Hague for the NATO Summit.

The president said he was going to see if he could “stop it” when asked about the continued attacks lobbed by both sides overnight after parts of the ceasefire were to be put in place.

Trump will be at the NATO Summit through Wednesday, where the war in Ukraine and increased defense spending are on the agenda. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to attend some of the gathering.

On Capitol Hill, the Senate parliamentarian continues to comb through the Republican’s “big, beautiful” spending bill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) still plans to bring the bill to the floor this week but faces stiff headwinds from colleagues on cuts to Medicaid.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell will testify in Congress both Tuesday and Wednesday in his semi-annual report that comes amid pressure from Trump and other Republicans to lower interest rates.
