U.S. President Donald Trump has held meetings to reach a 'final determination' on the Iran nuclear deal but has not yet decided whether to move forward. Trump publicly claims to be on the verge of a peace agreement, but Iranian officials signal that no deal has been reached. The New York Times reports that Trump has put off making a final determination on the proposal, leaving the diplomatic process in limbo.
Rescue teams have successfully pulled five villagers from a flooded cave in Laos, where they had been trapped for over a week. The first survivor was brought out as a complex operation unfolded involving divers navigating treacherous underwater passages.

A federal judge has temporarily halted President Trump's plan to establish a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund, which critics have described as a slush fund for political allies. Another judge has demanded responses to fraud accusations related to the fund. The New York Times reports that a separate action reopened an IRS lawsuit, questioning the legality of the fund's structure. The rulings represent a significant legal setback for the Trump administration.
A U.S. federal judge has ordered that President Trump's name be removed from the Kennedy Center, reversing a prior decision to rename the performing arts venue. The BBC reports the ruling as a direct rebuke to the White House. The New York Times notes the court demanded the Kennedy Center strip Trump's name from all materials. A separate federal judge also blocked the closure of the Kennedy Center, compounding legal losses for the administration on multiple fronts.
