UMVA has learned that President Trump will sign a crucial funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security's controversial agencies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), through the end of his term, in a move that is set to spark intense debate.
The bill, which was passed by the House on Tuesday with a hefty $70 billion price tag, had been the subject of a contentious vote in the Senate, highlighting the deep divisions within the country's lawmakers.
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Trump is also set to hold a press conference in the Oval Office, where he is expected to address the resumption of hostilities with Iran, a development that has sent shockwaves around the globe.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran appears to have broken down, with Tehran vowing to "pay the price" after what it perceives as a protracted negotiation process that failed to yield a favorable deal.
The situation took a deadly turn last night, as Iran and the US engaged in a fiery exchange, with Iran downing a US Apache helicopter on Monday, sparking fears of a wider conflict.
Trump has threatened to escalate the situation further, warning that he "may keep going" with strikes, potentially targeting Iran's critical infrastructure, raising concerns about the potential humanitarian and economic fallout.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the situation remains volatile, with fears of a wider conflict growing by the hour, as the international community holds its breath, waiting to see what happens next.
