News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager.

Chapter 2: What are the major political developments in the UK regarding Keir Starmer?
He also said there is some major progress when it comes to the Lebanon issue, which seems to be the lasting sticking point in those negotiations.
Bloomberg's Abir Abulomar reports the U.S. and Iran have set up a communication line to avoid incidents and miscommunication around the Strait of Hormuz.
And Karen, reaction continues to pour into these latest developments. Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper says the next 60 days could be a challenge. We have a long road ahead of us with regard to sustaining the current MOU, the agreement with Lebanon as a spoiler.
And then secondly, I think big picture is getting to the nitty gritty on the details of the nuclear deal, if you will, and what that eventually looks like. Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper appeared on Bloomberg this weekend, heard each Saturday and Sunday at 7 a.m. Wall Street time on Bloomberg Radio and Television and the Bloomberg Business app.
Well, Nathan, an ally of President Trump has won the election in Colombia. In one of the closest results in the nation's history, Ambulado de la Espriega garnered 49.7% of the votes, with 99.9% of results released by electoral authorities. Senator Ivan Zepeda earned 48.7% support. The final result is expected toward the end of the week after a review process.
De La Espriella is a business owner and lawyer who earned President Trump's endorsement despite never having run for office.
And Karen, U.S.-China relations are in the spotlight this morning. China has announced sanctions on 10 American military-related companies. This is a response to a recent U.S. move barring some leading Chinese tech firms from defense contracts. China has also imposed export controls against two U.S. rare earth producers.
They're part of Washington's effort to reduce dependence on Beijing by establishing an alternative supply chain for those critical minerals.
Well, from geopolitics to the world of sports, Nathan, an exciting finish at the U.S. Open on Long Island. And Bloomberg Sports anchor John Stashower joins us with more. John, good morning.
