Secretary of State Marco Rubio faces a litany of questions on Tuesday about the Trump administration’s fragile or stalling diplomatic efforts around the world. He's appearing in back-to-back hearings on Capitol Hill for the first time since the Iran war began. And Senate Republicans are discussing next steps after the Justice Department said it would comply with a court order pausing a $1.776 billion settlement fund designed to compensate President Donald Trump’s political allies. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was scheduled to tell the House Appropriations Committee about the department's budget, but lawmakers will almost certainly focus their questioning on the settlement fund.
Israeli drone strikes on southern Lebanon have killed eight people, including a father and his two children. This comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Israel and Hezbollah agreed to reduce fighting. Hezbollah continues launching projectiles and drones toward Israeli soldiers and civilians. Israeli forces are making their deepest incursion into Lebanon in 26 years. Israel had threatened to strike Beirut’s southern suburbs, causing panic and mass evacuations. Trump announced no troops will go to Beirut, but attacks continue. Talks are set for Tuesday in Washington to seek a full ceasefire.

The Cleveland Browns traded two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in a blockbuster deal. The Browns will acquire pass rusher and linebacker Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round selection, a second-round pick in 2028 and a 2029 third-round selection. Garrett is expected to report to the Rams’ facility on Tuesday and have a news conference to discuss the trade. Garrett was not seen at the Browns' facility during offseason workouts. Coach Todd Monken said two weeks ago he had not had a face-to-face meeting with Garrett since being hired in late January.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is set to return to Capitol Hill after the Trump administration signaled it was pausing contentious plans to move forward with a nearly $1.8 billion fund that could compensate allies of President Donald Trump who believe they've been unjustly investigated and prosecuted. Tuesday's hearing before the House Appropriations Committee was scheduled for discussion of the Justice Department’s budget. But lawmakers will almost certainly focus their questioning on the creation of a fund established to resolve the Republican president’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns. Many Republican senators have pushed the administration to impose limits or scrap the idea altogether.

The European Union has agreed on a major overhaul of its migration policy, aiming to increase deportations and establish detention centers abroad. Critics compare the move to the Trump administration's immigration policies. The agreement was reached Monday among the EU's main institutions. The new regulation will speed up the return process for those without legal rights to stay. Critics warn it could create a harsh detention and deportation system. Some EU countries are already negotiating with third countries to host "return hubs." Advocacy groups fear this could undermine human rights and expose people to significant risks.

Iran's year-on-year inflation reached a record high in May, the worst since World War II. This highlights the economic struggles faced by average Iranians. Iran's Central Bank acknowledged the impact of the war with Israel and the U.S. on the rial currency. Economic mismanagement and corruption are also affecting Iran's oil-backed economy, which remains under a U.S. naval blockade. Past economic pressures have led to nationwide protests. Experts warn that new demonstrations could emerge if economic conditions worsen. The consumer price index rose 77.2% in May compared to the previous year, with daily needs increasing by 113.8%.
