Episode description
President Trump says there is a good chance for a deal to end the war in Iran, but Iran has denied that any peace talks are happening. Wendy Sherman, former U.S. deputy secretary of state, details the state of affairs.
Then, traders bet hundreds of millions of dollars on oil contracts before Trump announced the U.S. would pause strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. Roben Farzad discusses why some observers are questioning whether insider trading is at play.
And, the Supreme Court is considering the legality of a policy that bars migrants at the border from entering the U.S. and applying for asylum. The Wall Street Journal’s Michelle Hackman explains more.
