Trump said last week he "wouldn't like it" if she won. "Maybe we’d take back Washington, run it on the federal basis," Trump said in response to a reporter’s question at the White House. "We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses."The race between Lewis George and Kenyan McDuffie, a longtime former council member considered part of the city's political establishment, is about a lot of things: the high cost of housing, crime, the city’s recovery from a DOGE-induced economic shock. But as with almost every personnel decision in Washington these days, voters in the city will also be weighing who is better equipped to deal with Trump.Read more here:European Parliament Votes To Approve EU-U.S. Trade DealThe European Parliament approved on Tuesday cutting duties on many U.S. goods imports to fulfill the European Union's side of a trade deal struck last year, and avert a fresh round of tariff conflict between the world's largest trading partners.U.S. President Donald Trump struck a deal with the European Union at his Turnberry golf course in Scotland last July under which the EU agreed to remove import duties on U.S. industrial goods and provide preferential access to U.S. farm produce in return for U.S. tariffs of 15% on most EU goods.Almost 11 months after that framework agreement, the EU had yet to pass legislation to implement those duty reductions.

And you don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody," Trump continued.Despite his criticism of Israel, Trump said he and Netanyahu still have a strong relationship."I've had a great relationship with Bibi but now Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon," Trump said.Trump also took the opportunity to trash the deal former President Barack Obama had signed with Iran, while promoting his own."This deal is a wall to a nuclear weapon," Trump said of the recent agreement. Obama's "deal was a road to a nuclear weapon."Despite Trump's claims, the deal reached by Obama's administration severely limited Iran's ability to enrich uranium. Tehran abided by the enrichment prohibition until Trump tore up that agreement in his first presidency.Trump Says He's Meeting Zelenskyy At G7 Summit, Pledges To Do Everything He Can To End WarPresident Donald Trump confirmed he will hold a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, adding that he had already spoken to the wartime leader on Tuesday."We had a good meeting.

"I didn't want to attack them last week, but we had no choice.""We have a deal that's a fair deal, that's a good deal," Trump continued, as fellow G7 world leaders look for more detail on the terms of the agreement.The president claimed that the deal specifies that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, adding that if Tehran were to backtrack from that commitment "all hell [would] rain down on them.""The only thing that really matters to me is Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and it says it loud and clear," Trump said of the deal. "They're not going to develop it, they're not going to buy it, they're not going to do anything with it, and if they do, they suffer unbelievable consequences."Iran World Cup Coach Says Team Was Barred From Staying Overnight In LAIran coach Amir Ghalenoei said on Monday his team were being "oppressed" due to last-minute travel changes stemming from tensions between Iran and the U.S., adding the disruption had affected their performance after a 2-2 draw with New Zealand.The Iranian football federation had negotiated a late move of the team's base camp from Arizona to Mexico amid uncertainty over U.S. visas and a growing sense that the squad’s presence in the United States should be kept to a minimum, Iran's ambassador to Mexico has told Reuters.Ghalenoei, 62, said they had suffered further disruption, with Iran expecting to remain in Los Angeles overnight on Monday but instead being required to return immediately to Mexico.Read more at Reuters:The U.S. Is Using An Iranian Smuggling Tactic To Sneak Oil Out Of The Gulf: ReutersThe United States military has overseen scores of secretive ship-to-ship oil transfers to keep Gulf energy exports flowing, using aerial and water drones as well as helicopters in an operation to guide convoys to awaiting tankers.The operation on the edge of the Strait of Hormuz employs a shuttling technique long used by Iran to skirt sanctions.
