Description
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:
First—Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping, President Trump says a deal is close, and oil markets are already responding. But with pressure on Tehran still firmly in place and key details unresolved, it’s not yet clear whether this marks a real turning point—or just another phase in a very fragile standoff.
Later in the show—a mysterious letter from Cuba meant for President Trump is intercepted in Miami, revealing a quiet attempt by the Castro family to bypass Washington’s official channels.
