President Donald Trump is heading to Capitol Hill for a private meeting with Republican senators as lawmakers seek to address growing divisions within the party over key legislative and foreign policy issues.
The closed-door gathering comes as some GOP senators have voiced concerns about the administration's push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement for federal elections, as well as lingering questions surrounding U.S. policy toward Iran following the recent ceasefire agreement.
Despite those disagreements, Republican leaders have indicated they want the meeting to focus on maintaining party unity and advancing the administration's broader agenda ahead of a busy legislative period.
Several senators have publicly emphasized the importance of presenting a united front, even as debates continue over election policy, government spending, and America's role in the Middle East.
The meeting also comes as lawmakers prepare for a series of high-profile votes in the coming weeks, making cooperation between the White House and congressional Republicans increasingly important.
While policy differences remain, GOP leaders say they expect Wednesday's discussions to center on shared priorities and strategies for moving legislation forward before Congress breaks for its summer recess.
The head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog says international inspectors will return to Iran's nuclear facilities as part of the interim agreement reached between Tehran and Washington.
Rafael Grossi, who leads the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, said inspections of Iran's nuclear sites "will happen" despite recent disagreements between U.S. and Iranian officials over access and timing.
The inspections are considered a critical component of the interim peace deal that helped bring an end to active hostilities between the United States and Iran. Under the agreement, Iran is expected to reduce its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and provide greater transparency regarding its nuclear activities.
The issue of inspections has become a point of contention in recent days. President Donald Trump has insisted that Iran agreed to allow inspectors back into the country, while Iranian officials have publicly denied that any formal arrangement has been finalized.
Despite those conflicting statements, Grossi expressed confidence that access will ultimately be granted and that inspectors will return to verify compliance with the agreement.
The IAEA has long played a central role in monitoring Iran's nuclear program, and international observers view inspections as essential to ensuring Tehran follows through on commitments made under the interim accord.
The return of inspectors is expected to be a major topic in future negotiations as both sides work toward a broader and more permanent agreement addressing Iran's nuclear activities, sanctions relief, and regional security concerns.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House as alliance leaders prepare for next month's NATO summit.
The meeting comes at a pivotal moment for the military alliance, with Trump once again pressing European nations to take greater responsibility for their own defense and contribute more toward NATO's collective security efforts.
Trump has repeatedly questioned whether the United States should continue carrying a large share of the alliance's financial and military burden. His administration has also launched a review of U.S. troop deployments in Europe, raising fresh questions about America's long-term role in the region.
Rutte, the former Dutch prime minister who took over as NATO secretary-general, has sought to maintain a close working relationship with Trump while encouraging member nations to increase defense spending. NATO officials point to record levels of military investment across Europe in response to growing security concerns.
Alliance unity is expected to be a major focus of the White House discussions as NATO faces challenges ranging from the war in Ukraine to tensions in the Middle East and questions about future force deployments.
The meeting is seen as an important opportunity to align priorities before leaders gather for the alliance's annual summit, where defense spending, military readiness, and the future of NATO's security commitments are expected to dominate the agenda.
President Donald Trump says the United States is making progress toward what he described as a fair and lasting agreement with Iran, while insisting Tehran has agreed to allow international inspections of its nuclear facilities.
Speaking at events in Pennsylvania this week, Trump said preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains the administration’s top priority. He argued that recent military operations and diplomatic pressure have left Iran in a weakened position and created an opportunity for a broader agreement.
Trump claimed Iran has agreed to future inspections of its nuclear sites and pushed back on reports suggesting otherwise. When asked about statements from Iranian officials denying that inspectors had been invited back into the country, Trump responded that Tehran was “wrong” and said inspections would occur “at the appropriate time.”
The president also defended the administration’s interim agreement with Iran, saying critics of the deal fail to recognize the leverage the United States has gained through military and economic pressure. Trump argued that Iran’s military capabilities and defense infrastructure have been severely degraded, strengthening Washington’s negotiating position.
However, Iranian officials continue to dispute key elements of Trump’s claims. Tehran has denied that formal discussions on its nuclear program are underway and says it has not agreed to readmit inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA.
The conflicting statements highlight ongoing uncertainty surrounding efforts to secure a permanent agreement following the recent ceasefire between the United States and Iran. While both sides have expressed interest in continued diplomacy, major disagreements remain over inspections, sanctions, and the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
For now, administration officials say negotiations are continuing, though no timeline has been announced for the next round of talks or for the return of international inspectors to Iran.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) - The Republican-majority U.S. Senate backed legislation on Tuesday to halt U.S. military action against Iran, but it was not immediately clear how it would affect the war as President Donald Trump's administration negotiates a peace agreement with the Islamic republic.
The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the concurrent resolution, which passed the House of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28.
The vote was nearly along party lines, with four Republicans joining all but one Democrat in favor. Two Republicans did not vote.
The resolution directs Trump to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with or against Iran, but is likely to remain merely a symbolic vote.
Under the 1973 War Powers Act, the measure does not get sent to the White House for Trump's signature. However, the White House has insisted the legislation is not constitutional and thus not binding.
Legal experts say it remains a contested legal question likely to be settled in the courts.
"The executive branch will likely ignore it on constitutional grounds, and it’s not clear who might have standing to sue to enforce it," said Scott Anderson, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and senior editor of the online legal publication Lawfare.
Wacky Democrats would rather cheer on algae than admit Trump is neutralizing Iran's nuclear capabilities. Seriously. Vandals were caught damaging the lining of the reflecting pool, and Whoopi Goldberg is out here claiming it's all Trump's fault. This is the level of delusion we're dealing with. Republicans have got to show up and vote—or the Dems will prop up even more radicals who care more about pond scum than national security.
