In this brief: Executive Summary
Executive Summary
The week ended with the country looking in two directions at once: at a war abroad it cannot end and at a Congress and a court at home testing the President who is fighting it. The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran reached its 100th day. In a “Meet the Press” interview taped Friday and aired Sunday, President Trump said Iran’s navy, air force, and air defenses were “gone” and offered to help Tehran destroy its enriched uranium if a deal ends the war. He called it “not a forever war.” On Friday a federal judge struck down the administration’s order barring asylum and visa decisions for citizens of 39 countries. The May jobs report landed strong — 172,000 added — and markets fell hard on what it implied: a Federal Reserve more likely to raise rates than cut them.
Three running stories carried into the weekend. The Iran war widened at sea: U.S. forces struck Iranian radar sites and shot down drones over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran called the strikes a ceasefire violation, and Tehran suspended talks until the fighting in Lebanon stops. The Fed story turned on one number — futures now price a roughly 96 percent chance of a rate increase by December, up from about 25 percent in mid-May, in Chair Kevin Warsh’s first full month. And the acting-officer government grew: Bill Pulte, named acting director of national intelligence on June 2, took up the post Tulsi Gabbard held.
The branches did not move in unison. A judge checked the executive on immigration. The Fed answered to data, not to the President who picked its chair. A jury question waited in California’s slow count. Each is a small test of whether the rules hold when one office pushes hard. That was the week the country lived.
