US job growth topped all forecasts in May and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, offering the clearest sign yet that the labor market may be breaking out of a prolonged period of lackluster hiring.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 172,000 last month and hiring in March and April was stronger than previously reported, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Friday. Taken together, the figures marked the strongest three-month advance in more than two years.

The Senate voted down a bid by retiring Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) to permanently block the Department of Justice from establishing a fund to pay people who claim to have been victims of government “weaponization.”

The weaponization fund, established as part of a settlement between President Donald Trump and the IRS, has received bipartisan pushback but failed to garner the 60 votes needed to pass. Only 15 senators voted in support of the amendment as part of a marathon vote series on a GOP bill (S.2) to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection for the rest of Trump’s term.

DOJ announced it was dropping the fund after a court blocked work on it, but lawmakers have sought to ensure it’s permanently shut down. The issue held up consideration of the immigration enforcement funding bill for weeks.

Senate Republicans stripped federal funds for Donald Trump’s White House ballroom from a spending package after the money triggered a blacklash from lawmakers in both parties.

The removal of the funds Wednesday is a fresh setback for Trump who a day earlier Senate Republicans forced to scrap a $1.8 billion fund to pay allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by the government. 

Senate Republican leaders and the White House had sought to attach $1 billion for security upgrades related to the ballroom project and East Wing replacement onto a partisan measure to fund immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump is still optimistic the US can reach an interim peace deal with Iran soon, after the Islamic Republic threatened to suspend talks because of Israel’s escalating attacks in Lebanon.

Trump on Tuesday disputed reports in Iranian state media that said talks with the US had been suspended over the fighting in Lebanon, saying the two sides have been “continuously” having conversations, including “today.”

The president told ABC News late Monday Washington and Tehran could finalize a memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as “over the next week.”

Trump Aims to Calm Lebanon Tensions

An update on a proposal that we believe will bring regulatory clarity to event contracts, key for platforms like Kalshi, Polymarket, CME Group and Robinhood, led Bloomberg Intelligence's June 1 Washington Policy Pulse discussion. The proposal likely reaffirms that event contracts are swaps and under federal jurisdiction. We also discussed a future Iran War Powers resolution and how it's unlikely to change President Donald Trump's views towards the conflct as well as the potential for new tariffs once the US Trade Representative completes what is known as Section 232 or Section 301 tariffs.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration

US President Donald Trump said Israel and Hezbollah agreed to stop attacking each other in Lebanon and that talks with Iran were continuing after fresh violence threatened negotiations to end the Middle East conflict.

Trump said he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives 
from Hezbollah, which the US considers a terrorist group, in separate phone calls.

“There will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” Trump said Monday in a social media post. “I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.”

President Donald Trump said that he is ready to make his 'final determination' on a deal to extend a ceasefire with Iran. The president is the final sign off on a deal reached by negotiators that would extend the fragile ceasefire by 60 days and open the floor for further talks on Iran's nuclear program. Writing on Truth Social, President Trump laid out conditions for a tentative agreement, saying that Iran "must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions."

Trump Signals 'Final Determination' Coming on Iran Deal

The US and Iran have reached a tentative deal to extend a ceasefire by 60 days and launch further talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, a US source familiar with the matter said, raising hopes the three-month conflict could be nearing a resolution.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations, confirmed an earlier report from Axios. President Donald Trump has yet to agree to the terms. Both countries have previously hailed progress, with Trump repeatedly indicating the US was close to securing an agreement — only for the stalemate to drag on.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday would only say “the teams have been going back and forth” when pressed if an interim deal has been clinched. He insisted Trump’s three “red lines” — reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran turning over highly enriched uranium and ending its nuclear program — remain necessary for any pact.

President Donald Trump asserted that no one nation would control the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway, highlighting a key sticking point in resolving the war with Iran.

Trump was asked during a meeting of his Cabinet officials if he was comfortable with a short-term deal that would open the strait but under Iranian control.

“Nobody’s going to control it. It’s international waters,” Trump said Wednesday at the White House. “The strait’s going to be open to everybody” and the US will “watch over it.”

The US is touting progress toward a peace deal with Iran to end the nearly three-month war, even amid fresh hostilities and uncertainty over the vital Strait of Hormuz. 

Security in the crucial energy waterway remained unclear Tuesday after the two sides exchanged strikes overnight and US Central Command pushed back on reports that suggested the military was helping escort vessels.

The renewed clashes occurred just hours after US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Tehran to extend their ceasefire and reopen the strait are proceeding. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned that any deal would likely take a few days to finalize.
