What breakthroughs have been announced in international relations?
Trump announces breakthrough deals, a ceasefire between Pakistan and India and a trade deal with China.
It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought.
I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howell. It's Monday, May 12th, and this is Morning Wire.
What actions are being taken against immigration enforcement obstruction?
The Trump administration is turning up the heat on anyone obstructing immigration officials after a Democrat mayor is arrested in New Jersey.
There is a problem in this country with breaking the law for the purpose of grandstanding and political hierarchy. That will not stand in my state.
Who is the new MAHA Surgeon General nominee?
That will not stand in this country. And Trump picks a major MAHA figure as Surgeon General. What do we know about the nominee and her mission?

How did the U.S. broker a ceasefire between India and Pakistan?
After days of deadly fighting and rising global tensions, the United States has brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and is also set to announce a major trade deal with China.
Daily Wire's senior editor, Cabot Phillips, has the latest. Hey, Cabot, so we'll get to this big trade deal in a second. But first, a really tense weekend that had the world kind of on edge. Then there was a breakthrough. Walk us through the India-Pakistan situation.
Yeah, it's important to remember the context here. India and Pakistan are bitter rivals. For decades, the two have feuded over religion, border disputes, and politics. Their shared border has been a tinderbox, and last week, a terror attack by Pakistani Islamists sparked the most significant conflict between the two countries that we've seen in decades. India responded with air and missile strikes on what they called terrorist camps, but a number of civilians were reportedly killed, and two mosques were hit in those strikes. Pakistan responded with strikes of their own, and within 48 hours, the two sides, both of which, remember, are nuclear powers, were deploying kamikaze drones, fighter jets, and even conventional artillery.
They were targeting each other's air defense systems, but again, a number of civilians were killed in that back and forth. By Friday, both sides had begun to evacuate towns along the border. Dozens of airports and schools were shut down, and thousands of troops were mobilized on both sides towards the border. So it looked like an all-out war was imminent.
Right, an alarming escalation for sure. But now we're learning that the U.S. stepped in, correct?
Right. From the very start of this conflict, the Trump administration gave the impression that they had no interest in getting involved. At least publicly, they were saying that. Here's Vice President Vance, for example, on Fox News, saying the conflict was, quote, "...none of our business."
What we can do is try to encourage these folks to deescalate a little bit, but we're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it.
But while Vance was downplaying America's concern over the situation, we now know that he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were working feverishly behind the scenes to iron out a peace deal.
