President Trump yesterday signed a framework agreement to end the war with Iran during a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at Versailles. Earlier that day, the Trump administration shared details of the deal while Trump answered reporters' questions at a press conference capping off his visit to the G7 summit. The framework also aims to restore oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. In the document, Iran commits to not building a nuclear weapon, while the U.S. says it is prepared to lift decades of sanctions, potentially allowing Iran to rebuild its devastated economy.

Trump's approval ratings continue to fall to record lows, particularly over his handling of the economy, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. Only one-third of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, which is three points lower than the worst ratings former President Joe Biden received during his term. Just 36% of respondents approve of Trump's overall job performance, while 59% disapprove , marking the widest gap he has faced in either of his terms in office.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton announced that the Senate has postponed the confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton to serve as director of national intelligence after Trump urged Republicans to delay the process. The Senate announced its decision after Trump posted on social media saying he was delaying Clayton's nomination and blocking the renewal of a key surveillance tool integral to U.S. intelligence operations. Trump wants to tie the reauthorization of the tool known as FISA section 702 with the passage of the GOP voting bill known as the SAVE America Act. He also wants the Senate to expedite the confirmation of Clayton's replacement as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. While Clayton's hearing is postponed, Bill Pulte, who has a record of weaponizing government information against Trump's perceived foes, will temporarily lead the nation's 18 intelligence agencies .

Chloe Malle was chosen to succeed Anna Wintour as Head of Editorial Content at American Vogue last fall. She began her career at Vogue 15 years ago as a "social editor," managing a section focused on weddings and parties. Now, Malle is ushering American Vogue into a new era, appealing to a younger generation of readers who consume fashion and culture through algorithms rather than the pages of a printed magazine. Under her leadership, the magazine's summer issue, released this month, celebrated the 250th anniversary of the United States. In an episode of NPR's Newsmakers , Malle spoke with Morning Edition 's Michel Martin about the differences between today's Vogue and the one she read as an adolescent, the continued significance of Vogue and the evolution of legacy media.
