Donald Trump threatened 100% tariffs on European countries that impose digital services taxes, defending American tech companies that have long opposed the levies. The move faces immediate legal uncertainty after a 2026 Supreme Court ruling narrowed presidential tariff authority.
President Donald Trump is pursuing a diplomatic off-ramp from potential military conflict with Iran, with reports suggesting a possible US-Iran agreement is taking shape. A deal could ease pressure on global oil markets, but terms and timeline remain unconfirmed.
President Donald Trump announced a formal US-Iran deal will be signed on Sunday, June 21, 2026. The agreement could reshape Middle East diplomacy, affect global oil supply, and reprice markets sensitive to regional stability.
President Trump said a deal with Iran could be signed within days, though he noted some difficult issues would be left for later negotiations. A partial agreement would carry immediate consequences for oil markets, regional security, and the status of Iran's nuclear program.
President Donald Trump announced on June 13, 2026 that the US and Iran have reached a "great settlement," with both sides finalising documents. A confirmed deal could trigger oil price moves and reshape Middle East security arrangements, though Iran has not yet publicly confirmed the agreement.
The U.S. and Iran have exchanged strikes for a second straight day, raising fears of a full-scale war. President Trump publicly threatened to intensify bombing unless Iran agrees to a deal, narrowing diplomatic space and lifting energy market risk.
The US launched strikes against Iran after President Trump said Tehran shot down a US Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz. Asian stocks fell and oil prices rose as investors priced in supply disruption risk across a corridor that carries roughly 20 percent of global oil supply.
President Trump told Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker that U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict will not become a "forever war" and rejected comparisons to past quagmires. The comments come as Trump faces pressure to reconcile the engagement with his promise to keep America out of new foreign wars.
President Trump named Kevin Warsh as his Federal Reserve Chair pick, calling him 'fantastic' and saying he wants Warsh to set interest rates without White House pressure. Warsh, a former Fed governor with hawkish inflation instincts, could keep borrowing costs higher for longer than markets expect.
Israel and Iran exchanged direct attacks as a ceasefire showed signs of collapse, prompting US President Donald Trump to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The escalation raises risks for regional stability and global energy markets.
Iran has reportedly launched missiles as President Trump considers a deal to pause the conflict for two months. Trump says he feels no pressure to reach an agreement before November's midterm elections, keeping the diplomatic timeline open-ended.
Jill Biden tells CBS News she feared Joe Biden was having a stroke during his June 2024 debate against Donald Trump, saying she had never seen him like that. The admission directly contradicts the Biden team's earlier claim that the performance was due to fatigue and a cold.
US forces have struck southern Iran while military command says it will maintain restraint under an ongoing ceasefire. President Trump separately declared that Iran's enriched uranium will be destroyed, signaling strikes may target nuclear stockpiles with major consequences for regional stability and oil markets.
President Trump says a peace deal with Iran is largely negotiated, urging negotiators not to rush finalising the agreement. A successful deal would ease oil market risk premiums and reduce geopolitical uncertainty across the Middle East.
The US and Iran have reached a preliminary agreement in principle that includes Iran disposing of its highly enriched uranium and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Final approval from President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader is still pending, keeping oil markets on alert.
President Trump claimed a deal with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz is largely negotiated, but semi-official Iranian outlet Fars News denied any such agreement. The strait carries roughly 20 percent of global oil supply, so any resolution or continued standoff will directly affect energy prices.
Trump said a peace deal with Iran is largely negotiated and includes terms to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran rejected the claim as incomplete and inconsistent with reality, leaving the status of any agreement unclear.
Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have warned the U.S. may resume strikes on Iran as nuclear talks remain deadlocked. Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade is already pushing up global energy costs, with risks growing for oil markets and importing economies.
Donald Trump is traveling to Beijing as trade tensions, regional conflict, and deepening strategic rivalry between the US and China define the visit. The talks carry direct consequences for tariffs, technology restrictions, and global supply chains.
Donald Trump's visit to China marks one of the most significant US-China summits in years, with trade, technology controls, and Taiwan all on the table. The outcome could calm markets and slow decoupling, or accelerate it if talks break down.
