Trump signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran at Versailles, France, covering a ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and preliminary nuclear talks. He celebrated the stock market hitting record highs and oil prices dropping, arguing critics of his Iran policy are 'jealous, bad people, or stupid.' He also touted a major Intel semiconductor deal where the US government received a 10% equity stake now worth over $60 billion, and pushed his 'Save America Act' demanding voter ID and citizenship proof as conditions for signing FISA reauthorization.
