North American Morning Briefing: Futures Point to Gains as Oil Prices Stabilize -2-
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.President Trump conditioned approval of a civilian nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia on the kingdom joining the Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel. Meanwhile, Republicans largely supported Trump's handling of the war with Iran despite rising domestic fatigue. In corporate news, Cadillac Mines and Amapá Minerals priced IPOs, while Almonty announced voluntary delisting from the ASX. Key economic data releases included US Flash PMIs and Canadian housing indexes.
WASHINGTON-President Trump said the fate of a landmark agreement to provide Saudi Arabia with a civilian nuclear program was contingent on the kingdom normalizing relations with Israel, adding a condition to the deal that could complicate its path forward.
The deal "will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords," Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social, referring to a series of agreements brokered by the U.S. to normalize relations between Arab nations and Israel.
GOP Lawmakers Stick With Trump as War Anxiety Rises
WASHINGTON-Republicans are standing firmly behind President Trump as he struggles to extricate the U.S. from the war he launched with Iran nearly five months ago, despite signs that Americans are growing weary of the fighting and its economic impact headed into the midterm elections.
In the latest test of congressional Republicans' patience, a Democratic-backed measure to rein in the president's war powers passed 214-208 in the narrowly divided chamber Thursday, but all but four GOP House lawmakers voted against the resolution. That marked no change from a tally last month that also gauged support for the president's handling of the conflict.
