YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It's been a week of escalating rhetoric from President Donald Trump with regards to Iran, starting with threats to power plants and bridges on Monday morning. By Tuesday, Trump had posted on Truth Social that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” But then as the Tuesday deadline approached, Trump tried a different tack and announced a two-week ceasefire. Will the U.S. and Iran soon reach an agreement to end the war? USA TODAY White House Correspondent Zac Anderson joined The Excerpt to share his insights.
