Amna Nawaz: President Trump huddled in the White House Situation Room for roughly two hours today to, in his words, make a final determination about a potential deal to end the war. The president made no announcement and that meeting has ended. U.S. officials describe the possible agreement as a memorandum of understanding that would open the Strait of Hormuz and then kick-start a second phase of negotiations over limiting Iran's nuclear program and lifting U.S. sanctions. But today, in public, Tehran insisted that current negotiations did not include the nuclear issue.

Just one month ago, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state's current map as an illegal racial gerrymander.

The state's U.S. House primary was postponed until the summer so the map could be redrawn. Turning overseas to Lebano
