A senior administration official has told me that Iran has agreed that none of their money will be released until they perform - on destruction and dismantling of nuclear programme - that the Strait of Hormuz will be open and that it will no longer fund terrorist groups.
The official described the deal as "performance based"

Prezydent Karol Nawrocki udaje się z wizytą do Waszyngtonu. W niedzielę, 14 czerwca, na zaproszenie obchodzącego w tym dniu urodziny Prezydenta Donalda Trumpa, weźmie udział w organizowanej w Białym Domu gali UFC Freedom 250.
W tym roku Stany Zjednoczone świętują 250. rocznicę podpisania Deklaracji Niepodległości. Wizyta będzie okazją do rozmów w zakresie bezpieczeństwa i relacji dwustronnych.
Polskę i Stany Zjednoczone łączą wieloletnie relacje oparte na wspólnej historii, wartościach oraz strategicznym partnerstwie, które dziś znajduje odzwierciedlenie w sojuszniczej współpracy politycznej, gospodarczej i obronnej.

I've been covering the White House for a few years now, and I've never seen anything quite like this. Or even remotely close.

Fox: Trump told Trey Yingst in an interview that the Iranian drone that hit the helicopter got "lodged between the two pilots." He said the drone was on fire but did not explode as the pilots brought the helicopter down into the water.
Trump said the survival of the two pilots was a "miracle."
The president went on to say that he is considering wider military action against Iran as peace talks have failed to make progress, saying he is getting closer to targeting Iran's power plants and bridges.
"I may keep going," Trump said. "They had a chance to sign a deal and survive."

President Trump just told me, in a brief phone call, that Benjamin Netenyahu did not defy him by launching an attack on Iran on Sunday night. The missles were "already on the way" he told me before the two leaders spoke. "They had already gone" he said

Good to live life on the edge
Catching up on last night episode of @BBCWorld's excellent podcast #ThePresidentsPath.
1) Good to have @SumiSomaskanda back.
2) I never thought @BernieDebusmann would have a tan suit scandal of his own. Have you learned nothing as a White House correspondent?? 😄
