@newsfishnow: The Trump administration is threatening more economic pressure on Iran, aiming to push Tehran back into negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump is calling the campaign an 'economic D-Day,' and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he will outline the new measures Monday. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will decide whether construction on Trump's White House ballroom can continue. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued, arguing the project needs congressional approval. The administration counters that the ballroom is essential to an 'integrated military complex' that includes medical facilities, a drone port, and bomb shelters. An appeals court ruled in the nonprofit's favor but paused its order until today. #trump #iran #supremecourt #whitehouse #straitofhormuz Source: NPR https://www.npr.org/2026/08/21/g-s1-139542/up-first-newsletter-trump-iran-economy-white-house-ballroom-bond-market
