Trump fires Pam Bondi and installs his former defense attorney as acting AG
On April 2, 2026, President Trump announced via Truth Social that he was removing Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General. Trump said Bondi would "transition to a much needed and important new job in the private sector." Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal defense attorney in the Manhattan DA and Jack Smith cases, confirmed as DAG in March 2025 — was named acting attorney general. Sources told CNN and CBS that Trump was frustrated with Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her failure to pursue prosecutions of his perceived political enemies. Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, emerged as the likely permanent replacement. The firing made Bondi the second Cabinet secretary removed in recent weeks, following Kristi Noem's exit from DHS.

Trump says Iran peace MOU is largely negotiated
On May 23, 2026, President Donald Trump said a peace memorandum of understanding with Iran was largely negotiated and said it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz after weeks of war and oil-market disruption ([AP](https://apnews.com/article/1c283f26d037102cc5e6f798546d0e59), [Axios](https://www.axios.com/2026/05/23/us-iran-trump-deal-war)). Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said a framework existed but disputed two core parts of Trump's message, saying nuclear terms were not being negotiated at this stage and that Hormuz governance had to be handled by Iran and neighboring states ([AP](https://apnews.com/article/1c283f26d037102cc5e6f798546d0e59), [Axios details](https://www.axios.com/2026/05/24/iran-deal-strait-hormuz-sanctions-nuclear)). The White House had already framed Hormuz reopening as part of its broader war endgame, and because the administration is treating the deal as an executive agreement, sanctions relief it can grant through existing executive authorities would not need Senate ratification ([White House, Apr. 8](https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/04/peace-through-strength-operation-epic-fury-crushes-iranian-threat-as-ceasefire-takes-hold/), [White House, May 17](https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-deals-with-china-delivering-for-american-workers-farmers-and-industry/), [U.S. Senate](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/HowTo/Treaties.htm), [OFAC](https://ofac.treasury.gov/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/iran-sanctions)).

Islamabad talks collapse after 21 hours, Trump orders naval blockade of Iran
Featured
Pakistan brokers a two-week ceasefire on April 8. Vice President JD Vance leads a U.S. delegation of approximately 300 to Islamabad for the highest-level face-to-face U.S.-Iran engagement since 1979. Iran's delegation is led by Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Araghchi. After 21 hours of direct negotiations, the talks collapse over the nuclear issue. The U.S. offers a grand bargain including sanctions relief. Iran demands sovereignty over the Strait, reparations, and unfreezing of assets. The delegations could not agree on sequencing. Iran sought sanctions relief before military de-escalation while the U.S. demanded nuclear commitments first. On April 12, following the collapse, Trump orders a naval blockade of Iran. Trump tweets "The meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not." He warns "Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!"
