Executive Summary
President Trump announced a potential 'memorandum of understanding' with Iran, setting a 60-day timeline for finalization and threatening renewed military action if talks fail, a move framed by allies as a 'pay-for-performance' deal.
Domestic political maneuvering is on display with the delay of the DNI confirmation hearing, which Senator Hagerty links to ensuring a key U.S.
Attorney appointment and a broader Democratic strategy of creating 'chaos'.
Economic policy discussions are focused on the Federal Reserve's future actions, with Senator Hagerty highlighting deflationary pressures from AI-driven productivity gains, deregulation, and potentially lower energy prices.
The G7 summit backdrop reveals significant US-France tensions over a digital services tax and access to advanced AI models, with President Trump threatening 100% tariffs on French wine.
