President Trump says a deal has been reached to end the war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but the agreement is set to be signed Friday in Switzerland and leaves out Israel, whose opposition is calling it one of the country's worst failures.
Just hours after announcing the deal, President Trump hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn on his 80th birthday for the nation's 250th.
And right after the fight, Trump headed to the G7 summit in the French Alps, where he is expected to arrive in triumph and lean on the same allies he berated for refusing to join the war.
