Trump Endorses Collins. President Trump has endorsed Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate runoff, marking his latest "MAGA" pick in Republican primaries. This endorsement comes as Trump turns 80, with related coverage noting his discomfort with aging. Vance also stated that Trump is "very supportive" as the vice president moves closer to a 2028 decision.

US-Iran Deal Negotiations. The Trump administration is "confident" an Iran deal will be signed Sunday, with President Trump stating a US Peace Deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed. However, a former Iran deal negotiator noted that 60 days is a "pretty short period of time" for nuclear talks, and the G7 Summit is overshadowed by an uncertain US-Iran deal. US and Iran have offered mixed messages on the peace deal timing, and Sen. James Lankford says Congress should ratify any deal Trump makes with Iran.

First Lady's Initiative. Children in foster care will gain access to Trump accounts under the first lady's initiative. This action aims to provide resources to foster children.
