Summary

Today’s Headlines: President Trump kicked off his Middle East trip in Saudi Arabia, meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and announcing the removal of sanctions on Syria, citing MBS’s request. Trump also revealed a $600 billion Saudi investment in the US and a $142 billion arms deal, while suggesting Iran should negotiate its nuclear program. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is blocking DOJ nominees over concerns about Trump's acceptance of a luxury jet from Qatar. In domestic news, the Department of Homeland Security has terminated Temporary Protected Status for 9,000 Afghans, clearing the way for deportation. April’s inflation report showed positive signs, with a 0.2% rise in CPI and the annual rate dropping to 2.3%. UnitedHealthcare’s CEO resigned following a class-action lawsuit and financial fallout related to Medicare Advantage overcharges. Lastly, P Diddy’s sex trafficking trial began, with his ex Cassie Ventura testifying about years of abuse and exploitation, alleging that her music career was sidelined for Diddy’s personal demands.
