- Trump rejected international AI regulations, rebranding artificial intelligence as "superintelligence," while CNN/SSRS polling released Tuesday showed 71% of voters disapprove of his foreign policy handling—the worst approval level of his presidency.

- Officials suggest potential negotiations timing is tied to November midterm elections, though Trump stated he gives "no credence" to the vote, maintaining his focus on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
