A framework deal is in place for the sale of TikTok, with the U.S. guaranteeing certain "Chinese characteristics" of the app can remain, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told multiple news outlets on Monday.
Why it matters: Congress banned TikTok last year in a rare show of bipartisanship over fears of Chinese influence over American kids.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed President Trump last Tuesday morning that Israel planned to attack Hamas leaders in Qatar shortly before the strike took place, three Israeli officials with direct knowledge tell Axios.
Friction point: The White House has claimed it was notified only after missiles were in the air, giving Trump no opportunity to oppose the strike. Seven Israeli officials tell Axios the White House knew earlier, even if the timeline to stop it would have been tight.
President Trump indicated Sunday he could again extend this week's deadline for TikTok to be sold or banned.
What he's saying: "I may or may not, we're negotiating TikTok right now," Trump said when asked by a reporter in Morristown, New Jersey, if he'd extend the deadline beyond Wednesday.
Romania summoned Russia's ambassador to Bucharest Sunday after it became the second NATO country in less than a week to report a Russian drone incursion in its airspace.
The big picture: Tensions have heightened in Eastern Europe since Poland reported that NATO and Polish jets scrambled to intercept Russian drones that breached its airspace last week during Russia's war on Ukraine, and an EU official on Sunday denounced the latest violation as a "reckless escalation."
The U.S. and United Kingdom on Sunday announced a wide-ranging series of nuclear power deals in which multiple leading U.S. nuclear companies will build projects overseas.
Why it matters: It's a significant step forward in President Trump's plans to put nuclear at the center of his "energy dominance" agenda.
