President Trump says the military could end its Iran-offensive in two to three weeks and will shift responsibility for the street of Hormuz to countries that rely on it for oil and shipping. That'll be for France. That'll be for whoever's using the street. But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up. The White House says Trump will deliver a primetime presidential address this evening to update the public on the war. In Iraq, say an American journalist was kidnapped yesterday in Baghdad, adding that Iraqi security forces are pursuing her captors. The journalist was identified as freelancer, Shelley Kiddelsen, by one of the outlets she worked for. A U.S. official blamed the Iran-backed Iraqi militia, Qatayb Hezbollah. A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to suspend the construction of the $400 million ballroom at the White House, the ruling bars any further work from proceeding without congressional approval.
