Trump claims ‘productive’ talks with Iran but Tehran denies contact

Donald Trump has claimed there have been talks between the US and Iran over the past day in which the two sides had "major points of agreement", appearing to avert a potentially severe escalation of the conflict. 

 Tehran has denied the claim, in which Trump also speculated that a deal could soon be done to end the war. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said no talks had been held with the US since the bombing campaign began 24 days ago...

‘We wasted a lot of time’: The next shutdown deadline will be here sooner than you think - POLITICO

But the impediments to reaching a deal that can pass both chambers are more extensive, starting with the fact that Republicans and Democrats on both ends of the Capitol have yet to start negotiating the details of the nine pending funding bills. The lack of bipartisan offer-trading is raising the likelihood of another short-term punt — or another shutdown...

Are Trump's threats against Greenland and Panama aggression or negotiation?

Trump's account omits some key facts. 

After the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the U.S. and Europe persuaded Ukraine to give up Soviet-era nuclear weapons in exchange for a strong security commitment from Washington, Moscow and London. In 2008, the U.S. convinced NATO to state its willingness eventually to welcome Georgia and Ukraine as members. Later that year, Russia invaded Georgia and the Bush administration and Europe did nothing. 

Six years later, after Barack Obama promised Putin he "would be more flexible" after his 2012 reelection, Russia seized Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. Neither the Obama administration nor the first Trump administration did anything to persuade Putin to reverse his illegal land grabs. The U.N. Charter's prohibition against "the threat or use of force" means that war is the responsibility of the aggressor, not the victim as Trump's comments would suggest…

Biden Administration Unveils First Drugs for Medicare Price Negotiations - The New York Times

Medicare gained the authority to negotiate the price of some prescription medicines when Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act last year, a signature legislative achievement for Mr. Biden. The announcement on Tuesday is a key step toward those negotiations, which will unfold over the coming months, with the new prices taking effect in 2026… 

Six pharmaceutical manufacturers — Astellas Pharma, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson and Merck — have taken the Biden administration to court in an attempt to block the negotiation program. The industry's main trade group and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have also filed suit…

Democrats respond to GOP calls for debt ceiling negotiations: No

What makes the debt ceiling qualitatively different is that this isn't a policy dispute. What Republicans are doing is manufacturing a hostage crisis, effectively telling Democrats that the GOP is prepared to harm Americans on purpose unless their demands are met. For all intents and purposes, it is a Republican extortion scheme… 

"I don't know why President Biden says he's not going to negotiate," House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry recently told ABC News. As it happens, there's no great mystery here. 

Not to put too fine a point on this, but it's not just that the president won't engage in talks with Republican hostage takers, it's that he can't: To negotiate with those threatening Americans is to encourage others to threaten Americans…
