Donald Trump's week began with an on-air expletive as he lost his cool over his mounting frustrations with Iran and Israel's shaky ceasefire. It ended with a beaming US president holding court at the White House - not once, but twice - as he celebrated a series of significant political victories at home and abroad. Trump was in a triumphant mood, answering questions for more than an hour at a news conference that turned into a checklist of his accomplishments.
Main Idea: Donald Trump ended a week of major wins, with a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel conflict, a boost from NATO, and a Supreme Court ruling that could expand his power at home.
Key Points:
Trump’s Iran strikes and threats of more military action could raise the risk of wider conflict, with higher energy prices and more worry for US households.
The Supreme Court ruling may make Trump’s policies harder to block, which could speed changes on taxes, immigration, and federal spending for voters and businesses.
