Chapter 1: What is the current status of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon?
A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is due to take effect in one hour. President Trump first announced on social media that both countries had agreed to a 10-day truce. He says he has invited the Israeli and Lebanese leaders to the White House for talks. A ceasefire between the United States and Iran is set to expire early next week.
Pakistan is attempting to mediate a longer truce that would lead to an agreement to end a war the U.S. and Israel initiated against Iran in late February. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports President Trump says he may travel to Pakistan.
Speaking next to the Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn, Trump told reporters he would be willing to travel to Islamabad to seal a peace deal. I would go to Pakistan, yeah.
Pakistan has been great.
Chapter 2: How is President Trump's involvement affecting peace talks in Pakistan?
They've been so good. Islamabad, I might go. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.
Peace talks in Islamabad last weekend yielded no deal between the U.S. and Iran. On Wednesday, Trump told the New York Post that more peace talks in Pakistan could be coming yet this week, but the White House has provided no further information. Trump has now left Washington for an economic roundtable in Nevada, followed by a Turning Point USA event in Arizona on Friday.

In Georgia, swing voters say they think the war is going poorly and will lead to even more economic pressures at home. These voters recently participated in online focus groups observed by NPR's Ashley Lopez.
The 13 voters who participated in these groups voted for Biden in 2020 and then Trump in 2024. And all 13 said they don't think the war is going well. They say they're concerned the president is focused on the wrong issues. Dawn, who participated under the condition her last name would not be used, said she's particularly frustrated that the president is not focused on the economy.
Everything is higher now. It's not going down like he said. Cost of living of everything, food, oil, housing, health care, you name it.
Nearly all participants said they feel more economic anxiety now than they did before Trump took office again. Ashley Lopez, NPR News.
Just over a week after capping their historic slingshot around the moon, the crew of Artemis II has some stories and advice. During a news conference today at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Mission Commander Reid Weissman talked about how every member of the four-person crew depended on each other.
I've said it so many times, we are bonded forever. I mean, that's the closest four humans can be and not be a family. So it was just an amazing adventure. And every single person on that crew lifted each other up the entire time. So I just can't thank the three of you enough.
