US-Iran Interim Deal Takes Effect | The Pulse 06/18/2026
President Trump signed an interim deal to end the war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, speeding up the timeline for the agreement to go into effect despite blowback from Republicans who said it amounted to a victory for Tehran.
The Fed left interest rates unchanged, but signaled growing support for a rate hike this year. Chairman Kevin Warsh put his stamp on the US central bank with a bevy of changes, including a policy statement less than half the usual length. He also declined to contribute to the so-called “dot plot,” and said he’s appointing task forces to look at central bank functions.
EU leaders are gathering in Brussels for a two-day summit. High on the agenda is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Leaders are also expected to discuss how to handle upcoming trade talks with Beijing and explore possible responses — including new trade tools.
Today’s guests: Philippe Botteri, Accel Partner; Alexandra Dublanche, Choose Paris Region President; Stephan Mayer, Trumpf CEO for Machine Tools; Andris Kulbergs, Latvian Prime Minister; Giorgio Pradelli, EFG International CEO

Drone Swarms Push AI Deeper Into Modern Warfare
Bloomberg News Cyber Security & Tech Reporter Katrina Manson got a firsthand look at autonomous drone-swarm technology that allows multiple aircrafts to coordinate and strike targets even when communications or GPS are disrupted. Joining Bloomberg This Weekend, Mason explains to Carol Massar that the Pentagon is testing the technology as part of its Swarm Forge program, but experiments in which AI identified civilian vehicles as potential targets highlight the risks as militaries push toward greater autonomy in warfare.
