The foreign ministers of Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia met Friday on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Turkey to discuss the efforts to reach a deal to end the war between the U.S. and Iran.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joined a meeting on Friday between White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, sources briefed on the meeting told Axios.

The House GOP revolt on FISA Friday wasn't just a setback for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — it was a rare defeat for President Trump with his own party.
