Under the arrangement described by Trump, private companies are expected to play a major role in developing Venezuela’s oil sector. Reuters said the agreement could involve tens of billions of barrels of reserves, although key details about ownership, legal structure and implementation remain unclear.

Venezuela has some of the world’s largest proven crude oil reserves, but years of underinvestment, sanctions and aging infrastructure have limited production. Any effort to significantly increase output would likely require substantial capital and time.

Venezuela’s interim leader Delcy Rodriguez has welcomed the agreement, while U.S. officials have presented it as a way to expand energy supplies and encourage private investment. The announcement marks a significant change in the economic relationship between Washington and Caracas.

Reuters reported that U.S. Treasury officials expect discussions to cover sovereign debt, supply-chain resilience, investment and productivity. The meeting is also expected to address concerns about excess industrial capacity and trade practices that can create pressure across global markets.

Iran will be another major topic. U.S. officials plan to encourage participating countries to reduce remaining economic ties with Tehran and follow existing U.S. sanctions. The issue may also come up during bilateral meetings between finance officials.

The talks arrive as governments continue to manage slower economic growth, higher borrowing costs and pressure on public finances. G20 members are also expected to discuss ways to strengthen private investment and improve economic resilience while navigating ongoing trade tensions and geopolitical disputes.

CBS News reported that the agreement calls for Meta to pay at least $12.1 billion over 10 years, with the total potentially rising depending on future settlements involving other social media companies. Combined with a separate agreement involving Texas, Meta’s overall payments could reach about $18 billion.

The settlement also includes new safeguards for minors. These measures include daily time limits for teens, restrictions on nighttime use, muted notifications during school hours, stronger age verification, expanded parental controls, and limits on features associated with social comparison.

The states had accused Meta of designing features that encouraged compulsive use and of failing to adequately disclose potential risks to younger users. The case also included claims involving data collected from children under 13.

Meta has denied the allegations. The agreement resolves the multistate case while introducing additional requirements focused on youth safety and platform use.

Evacuation restrictions were lifted in some areas as conditions improved, but about 23,000 people were still under immediate evacuation orders and another 40,000 were told to remain prepared to leave. Reuters reported that more than 900 firefighters were assigned to the response, including personnel from 15 U.S. states, Australia and New Zealand.

The fire has burned more than 15,000 acres since starting Saturday and was 27% contained by Monday. At least 32 homes were destroyed and several others damaged, according to fire officials.

Four civilians and three emergency personnel suffered minor burns during the early stages of the fire. No deaths have been reported.

Investigators have determined that the Hawk Fire was caused by human activity, though authorities have not established whether it was started accidentally or intentionally.

Iran responded with a direct warning. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said countries that participate in or support the U.S. economic campaign could be treated as taking part in an act of war. He also threatened to stop oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and elsewhere in the Persian Gulf if the pressure continues.

The sanctions are expected to focus on Iranian oil sales, banking channels, transportation networks and foreign trading partners.

Tensions around Hormuz remain especially significant because roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies move through the waterway. Iran has recently allowed some Iraqi oil tankers to transit the strait, while oil prices fell Monday as markets awaited Washington’s announcement.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has continued calling for a diplomatic solution.

CNN reported that the United States could impose 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian imports if the two governments fail to complete an agreement before the deadline. Negotiators have been discussing several long-running trade disputes involving steel, aluminum, automobiles and agricultural products.

Canadian concessions under discussion also include changes affecting American products sold north of the border. Provincial restrictions on US alcohol, introduced during earlier trade tensions, have become part of the negotiations, with Canada considering steps that would allow American liquor back onto store shelves.

The talks carry particular importance for industries that depend on cross-border supply chains. Auto manufacturing is one example, with production networks closely linked between the two countries.

Both governments have indicated that progress has been made, but unresolved issues remain as negotiations continue toward the deadline.

Prosecutors allege Bowie intended to use the device at the Capitol to kill public officials and damage as much of the building as possible. Reuters cited Justice Department officials who said she had visited the Capitol grounds, photographed the building and discussed plans to flee to ISIS-controlled territory in Syria after the proposed attack.

Authorities also allege that Bowie expressed anti-American views online and celebrated previous terrorist attacks. The accusations are contained in a criminal complaint and have not been proven in court. A lawyer for Bowie could not immediately be reached for comment.

Following the arrest, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said security was strengthened at the Capitol and other government locations. She added that officials were not aware of any immediate threat to the public.

In comments reported by NBC News, Trump said he expects to meet Kim but did not provide a specific date or location. The potential meeting would bring the two leaders together again after several high-profile encounters during Trump’s first term, including summits in Singapore and Vietnam and a meeting at the Korean Demilitarized Zone.

Any renewed talks would come with major issues still unresolved. North Korea has continued developing its nuclear weapons and missile programs, while negotiations over denuclearization have remained stalled for years.

Trump has frequently pointed to his personal relationship with Kim when discussing North Korea. So far, North Korea has not publicly confirmed plans for a new meeting.

A future summit could reopen direct communication between the two governments, although the agenda and conditions for any talks remain unclear.

CNN reported that the three-day delay followed discussions between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Both sides indicated that progress had been made, although several major trade issues remain unresolved.

The proposed tariffs could affect a range of Canadian products, including dairy goods, wine, lumber and hockey equipment. Negotiations are also focused on market access for American products, automotive trade, alcohol sales, digital trade rules and broader economic security commitments.

The temporary pause gives officials additional time to work toward an agreement before the higher tariffs take effect. Trade between the United States and Canada remains closely connected across several industries, making tariff changes significant for businesses and consumers on both sides of the border.

For now, discussions are continuing as the two governments try to settle the remaining disputes.

The CNN updates also highlighted growing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran and Oman have been discussing arrangements for commercial shipping. Trump warned Oman against interfering with U.S. efforts involving the strategic waterway, which is vital to global energy trade.

The situation became more serious Tuesday after a vessel was struck by an unknown projectile while leaving the Strait of Hormuz. Maritime authorities said the ship’s engine room was damaged and one crew member was killed.

Iran has warned that it could adopt a more offensive military posture if diplomacy fails. Meanwhile, disrupted shipping through the strait continues to affect energy markets, adding pressure as diplomatic efforts struggle to produce a lasting agreement.
