President Trump dominated the political headlines with a series of legally and diplomatically charged developments. He says a U.S. strike, coordinated with Venezuelan authorities, killed Héctor “Nino” Guerrero, the alleged leader of Tren de Aragua, marking a dramatic escalation in his campaign against transnational gangs. At the same time, Pakistan claims a U.S.-Iran peace deal could be finalized within 24 hours, though Tehran is publicly disputing that timeline, underscoring how fragile any breakthrough remains. Back in Washington, courts shaped the domestic picture: workers began removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center after a judge ruled it had been added illegally, while another federal judge refused to block the UFC’s “Freedom 250” event on the White House grounds, clearing the way for the spectacle to go ahead. In a separate high-profile ruling, Blake Lively won attorney fees in the tail end of her legal fight with Justin Baldoni.
