Story summary

U.S. President Donald Trump backed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie called for his impeachment, with Attorney General Todd Blanche stating Hegseth was "doing a phenomenal job." The cost of the ongoing war with Iran reached $33.4 billion by mid-June according to military estimates, and could rise further monthly based on projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Meanwhile, Trump downplayed his role in rising oil prices, instead blaming Ukraine for targeting Russia's refineries and causing diesel shortages. He claimed both sides agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure to stabilize fuel prices. Additionally, Trump said he was open to peace talks with Iran but maintained the final decision would rest with him.
