Expect to hear more about Stephanie Grisham, First Lady Melania Trump's spokeswoman, as discussions heat up about replacing White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

The state of play: A number of influential people close to President Trump want her in the job — and Trump has told people he likes her and trusts her. She is one of a tiny number of campaign originals left in the White House.

  • A person close to the president said Grisham could potentially take on another senior press job, if not as a direct replacement for Sanders.
  • No decision has been made on Sanders’ replacement. Trump tweeted about Sanders: "I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas."

U.S.-Iran nuclear diplomacy is going nowhere fast

Iran's cool response to the Biden administration's push for diplomatic engagement, along with rising tensions in the region, makes clear that salvaging the 2015 nuclear deal may be far more difficult than many had anticipated.

The state of play: Both the U.S. and Iran have entered the diplomatic dance, but it seems to be moving in circles.
