47:53Now PlayingPresident Trump says the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is on “massive life support” after Iran’s latest counterproposal to end the war.
Media reports say Tehran’s offer included demands for war reparations…control over the Strait of Hormuz…an end to U.S. sanctions…and the return of frozen assets.
Iran also sought to keep nuclear talks separate from negotiations over the Strait.
The president called the terms “simply unacceptable.” He spoke to reporters at the White House today — we’ll play some of what he said.
Congress is back in town this week after a weeklong recess…with Republicans looking to use the reconciliation process to fund immigration enforcement without Democratic support.
Also on tap this week: an extension of the nation’s warrantless surveillance powers, set to expire June 15th.
And the 17 Americans who were aboard a cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak are back in the U.S. today…where they’ll be quarantined and monitored.
One passenger has tested positive for the virus. Another is experiencing mild symptoms.
Health officials say the risk of a large-scale hantavirus outbreak remains low. We’ll hear from them coming up.
