President Trump announced a reduction in joint military exercises with South Korea, citing their refusal to participate in efforts to denuclearise Iran. He labelled the exercises as costly and provocative towards North Korea, stressing that their reduction is “somewhat unrelated” to this refusal.
Pennsylvania State Representative Chris Rabb, the Democratic nominee for the state’s third congressional district, discussed his platform on “Face the Nation,” advocating for health care as a human right and increased wages. He asserted that voters seek a fighter for their interests, rather than a label.
The Trump administration has requested intervention from the Supreme Court to proceed with a $400 million project replacing the demolished White House East Wing. This follows a federal appeals court ruling stating the White House likely lacks authority for the construction without congressional approval.
