President Trump promises food centers in Gaza, continues to face Epstein files questions; Senate starts last scheduled week

President Trump continued his visit to the United Kingdom today. He and Prime Minister Keir Starmer talked to reporters about Israel’s war with Hamas. The president announced the US will open food centers in Gaza to help the humanitarian crisis there and two leaders continued discussions on reaching a cease-fire in the region. The President also said he is shortening the 50-day deadline he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine. And he continued to distance himself from his association with Jeffrey Epstein. The Senate begins their last scheduled week of work before the August recess. They are considering more of President Trump's nominations—including for CDC Director and Defense Department General Counsel. Also on the Senate agenda--more work on the 2026 federal spending bill, including funding for military construction projects and the Veterans Affairs Department. Learn more about your ad choices.
