YouTube Notes:
Barbara Boyd, Susan Kokinda and Adam Sturman take questions from both the Youtube live chat and our Newsletter Subscribers!
Trump just redrew the map. The Iran war is all but settled — and the deal was brokered with help from Russia and China, not NATO, not the EU, not the G7. As the President meets a fractured G7 in France, the Iran Memorandum of Understanding is set to be signed Friday, oil has fallen from a high of $126 toward $80 a barrel, and Susan Kokinda has a name for the club now reduced to issuing communiqués about a world it no longer steers: the “Gee Whizz Seven.”
At home, as the peace abroad is nearly won, the FBI says it broke up a planned attack on the UFC event at the White House — the celebration of the President’s birthday and the nation’s 250th. Director Kash Patel says the Bureau learned of the threat on June 10; five people are now under arrest.
Barbara Boyd asks the question the headlines won’t: when peace abroad is this close, who benefits from violence aimed at the President at home — and what does “stochastic terrorism” really mean when the same establishment that just lost the war keeps lighting the matches?
Plus: Ukraine pushed back to the top of the G7 agenda, the E3 huddle at Downing Street, and why the timing is never an accident. Bring your questions — Barbara and Susan take them live.
