Vance: Very Good Foundation Laid for Final Iran Deal; UK’s Starmer Announces Resignation | NTD Good Morning (June 22)

Vice President JD Vance was in Lucerne, Switzerland, on Monday, giving an update on negotiations with Iran. He said that “a lot of good progress” has been made and that a “very good foundation” has been set for a successful final deal.

Vance said four key points have been made, including establishing a mechanism to keep the Hormuz Strait open, coordinating a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, an agreement on IAEA inspections, and a process for technical negotiations.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he is stepping down, less than two years after he led the Labour Party to a landslide election victory.

Starmer says the nomination process will begin on July 9, and a new leader will be chosen before Parliament returns in September.

Andy Burnham is considered the frontrunner to replace Starmer, after recently winning a parliamentary seat in a special election that boosted his standing within the party.

Lawmakers are heading back to Washington on Monday to tackle issues such as election integrity, affordable housing, and leadership in the intelligence community. The affordable housing bill is backed by both Democrats and Republicans, and is expected to pass the House this week, after passing the Senate last week.
