President Donald Trump heads to Europe for the NATO summit as he applauds a cease-fire between Israel and Iran, which appears to be holding despite a rocky start. The two sides agreed to a cease-fire Monday night, but exchanged strikes even after it went into effect. Following a conversation with Trump, Israel says it is holding off on additional attacks on Iran.
Reactions are pouring in from Capitol Hill following the cease-fire announcement. A GOP lawmaker has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, 124 Democrats joined Republicans in tabling articles of impeachment against Trump, after Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) and a small group of Democrats called the president’s strikes on Iran unconstitutional.
An extreme and long-lasting heatwave is reaching a dangerous peak Tuesday, with some East Coast cities facing their hottest day in a decade. More than 150 million Americans are under heat alerts, and at least one death has been reported.
