Trump: Interim Deal to be Signed in Next 48 Hours | Balance of Power: Late Edition 06/17/2026

“Balance of Power: Late Edition” focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) says Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill are skeptical of President Trump’s agreement with Iran. Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) says President Trump’s push to attach the SAVE America Act to a FISA extension may make both bills harder to pass. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), says he won’t presume the committee will “rubber stamp” Jamie McDonald’s nomination for US attorney in Manhattan after President Trump put Jay Clayton’s DNI confirmation on hold.
