Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Dua Halisa-Cautel. President Trump is defending the lack of progress at ending the war with Iran. In an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC's Meet the Press, he says patience is needed. NPR's Tamara Keith has more.
Trump insisted going to war with Iran didn't break his anti-war campaign promises because he said this isn't a forever war.
I'm moving very fast.
Chapter 2: What is President Trump's stance on the Iran war?
I'm into three months. You know, Vietnam lasted 19 years. I'm into my third month.
It has actually entered its fourth month. Trump said securing a peace deal with Iran could take a long time.
They're proud. There are things they never thought they'd be doing that they're going to have to do. They've got no choice. And it takes a little while. You're talking about 47 years of getting away with whatever they wanted. I mean, this should have been done long ago.
One major issue is what will happen with Iran's nuclear materials. Tamara Keith, NPR News.
In Peru, the presidential runoff election is still too close to call. But exit polls show an early lead for the conservative daughter of a 1990s right-wing autocrat. Simeon Tegel reports from Lima.
The country's two principal exit polls gave Keiko Fujimori a 1.4% and 1% lead over her far-left opponent, Roberto Sanchez, when voting stations closed today at 5pm local time. Voting took place without major problems after a polarising race between two deeply unpopular candidates, both of whom have been linked to corruption and accused of undermining democracy.
Keiko has promised to dynamise the economy by cutting red tape and tackle surging crime by building more prisons and putting soldiers on the streets. But she will also face distrust from a large chunk of the electorate who fear she will repeat her father's authoritarian abuses. Official election results could take days. For NPR News, I'm Simeon Tegel in Lima, Peru.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with key European leaders over the weekend in London to discuss how to end the war with Russia. He told British broadcaster Sky News that he wants to freeze the current battlefield lines and why he thinks it's important for the world to stand with Ukraine.
It was very important for Ukraine. Me, for Americans, not to forget about us, I understand with all the challenges in the Middle East, but this is the biggest war during these 80 years, the biggest in Europe. And that's why we, not that's why, this is so big, so many losses, human lives, we need to stop it.
