Trump Has High Expectations For Birthday Weekend

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is anticipating a significant weekend for his presidency. The World Cup returns to the U.S. on Friday, a bid Trump helped secure. On Sunday, his 80th birthday, he hosts a UFC fight night at the White House. But he has set expectations even higher by announcing that the U.S. and Iran might reach an agreement to end a three-month-old war. He has said before that a deal was within reach without anything coming to fruition. Trump claims Iran is eager to settle the conflict, though Iranian officials have not confirmed this. The war has affected global oil markets and is expected to be a major topic at the G7 summit in France next week.
