US President Donald Trump says he will talk to Taiwanese leader Lai Ching-te about a possible arms sale, in what would be a sharp departure from diplomatic tradition.

Far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson came under fire after appearing on prime-time Israeli television and accusing both Israel and the US of betraying democracy, calling Israel "probably the most violent country in the world" and saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dragged President Donald Trump into the war with Iran.
In an interview with Channel 13 anchor and senior political analyst Udi Segal aired on Tuesday night, Carlson also repeated his claim that Israel's actions in Gaza amounted to "genocide," while saying the wording mattered less than what he described as the killing of civilians.
The country had "definitely lost its morality," he said.
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed a new effort to reach a deal with Iran in a difficult call on Tuesday, three sources said, with one source saying Netanyahu's "hair was on fire" after the call.
Why it matters:
A revised peace memo was drafted by Qatar and Pakistan with input from the other regional mediators to try to bridge the gaps between the U.S. and Iran, the sources said.
It comes with Trump vacillating over ordering a massive strike on Iran and holding out for a deal.
White House and agency officials have repeatedly declined to answer whether they will seek authorization for Trump's arch from the current Congress.
Instead, administration officials have cited a 1924 report by a federal commission charged with designing the Arlington Memorial Bridge. That report called for building a pair of 166-foot-tall columns, surmounted by statues, on Columbia Island that would frame the nearby Lincoln Memorial.
Congress formally ratified the commission's report in 1925, and the Memorial Bridge was soon built. However, the columns were not constructed, and Trump officials today argue that in building the arch they would be carrying out past lawmakers' wishes.
"Congress authorized the arch project when it approved the design set out in Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission's report," Justice Department lawyers wrote in a filing last month.
Boos rang out during the University of Arizona's graduation ceremony on Friday as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt spoke about a topic that is maybe a little sensitive for those about to enter the workforce: AI. While other speakers received cheers and applause, Schmidt's speech about the impact of modern technology on society struck a nerve.
Speaks for itself.
In new research published in Nature, Rockefeller University's Laboratory of Neural Systems has found the first evidence of the neural substrates that underlie this process. The team located it in the ventral premotor cortex, a section of the frontal lobe. The region appears to act as a sort of mediator between the prefrontal cortex, where higher-level thinking such as planning occurs, and the motor cortex, which enables movement. Read more
President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded Senate Republicans fire the nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, after she ruled this weekend that Republicans could not include funding for the White House ballroom in an immigration enforcement bill.
New gold coins featuring President Donald Trump's face, issued for the 250th anniversary of United States independence, likely will not be ready until several months afterwards, the U.S. Mint has said in a legal document reviewed by Newsweek.
In the new lawsuit, former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department Officer Daniel Hodges contend that Trump intends to use the massive bankroll to pay people who organized and participated in the riot. The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Washington, argues that the fund violates the 14th Amendment's prohibition on use of federal money to "pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States."
Barney Frank, a former US representative and Democrat of Massachusetts, died on Tuesday night, his family has told NBC10 in Boston. He was 86. "He was, above all else, a wonderful brother. I was lucky to be his sister," Doris Breay, Frank's sister, told the outlet on Wednesday morning.

The Justice Department is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for possible immigration fraud, VPOTUS JD Vance revealed to reporters at the White House.
