It allows US intelligence agencies to collect communications of foreign targets operating outside the country without a warrant.

It was delayed in mid-May over concerns about the Trump administration's effort to use taxpayer dollars to compensate people who allege being targeted by the federal government. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche recently told members of Congress the administration has scrapped plans for the anti-weaponization fund, which appeared to ease bipartisan concerns among lawmakers. The Senate officially rejected two of Donald Trump’s biggest priorities for the upcoming budget reconciliation bill and published the text of a bill to fund ICE and CBP.

Donald Trump angrily confronted Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's threats to resume airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The phone call came after Netanyahu had ordered the Israeli military to resume bombing the southern Dahiya area of Beirut to target Hezbollah. Iran said it would suspend peace talks with the US over Israel in Lebanon.
