Trump Warns GOP Over Ballroom Funding, Trump Gives Iran More Time, Castro Charged

President Trump faces internal friction as Republican lawmakers resist funding for a White House ballroom, complicating broader efforts to secure billions for immigration enforcement. This legislative standoff coincides with Trump’s aggressive primary strategy against GOP incumbents, raising concerns about the long-term stability of his party’s congressional coalition. Meanwhile, international tensions escalate as Israel pressures the U.S. to resume military action against Iran, while Gulf nations advocate for diplomatic resolution to protect regional stability and maritime trade. In a separate legal development, federal prosecutors have indicted 94-year-old former Cuban President Raul Castro for his alleged role in the 1996 downing of aircraft that killed four U.S. nationals. This indictment marks a significant escalation in the ongoing U.S. pressure campaign against the Cuban regime, following the recent capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
