U.S.-Iran nuclear talks remained stalled this week, even as President Donald Trump escalated military presence in the region, according to multiple sources. White House officials indicated that while some progress was made during meetings in Geneva, significant disagreements persisted, raising questions about the immediate prospects of a deal.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday that negotiators, including U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, were still "very far apart on some issues" after meetings with Iranian officials. Leavitt added that the Iranians were expected to provide further details in the coming weeks, a statement that some interpreted as a sign that military action was not imminent, according to Time.
The ongoing talks come amid a broader context of international tension. The weakening Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, fueled by strong U.S. economic data, was also noted in reports from NPR Politics. The same report highlighted market analysis suggesting continued growth potential driven by AI, and a variety of other current events.
Meanwhile, other news sources covered a range of other events. Vox reported on the economic climate under Trump, noting that despite his efforts, he was presiding over a "pretty good economy." Another Vox article discussed how Brazil stopped a Trump-style authoritarian in his tracks. A multi-source report from Nature News detailed several significant events, including U.S. allegations of a secret Chinese nuclear test, potential censorship of late-night talk shows, and the impending depletion of the Social Security trust fund.
