The person follows the sea lion, kicking at it as it tries to scoot away.ByThe Associated PressJuly 26, 2026, 11:30 AMSAN DIEGO -- Federal wildlife authorities are investigating after a video appeared to show a person kicking a protected sea lion at a beach in California. A spokesperson for the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed an ongoing investigation into the incident but declined to provide additional details Sunday.The video appears to show a person throwing kicks at the sea lion at La Jolla Cove in San Diego as at least one other person can be heard laughing in the background. The person follows the sea lion, throwing more kicks at the animal as it tries to scoot away before the video ends.“NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Law Enforcement is investigating reports of a video on social media that shows an interaction between an individual and sea lion, allegedly in La Jolla Cove,” a spokesperson for the agency said. “In the video, the individual appears to be kicking the sea lion. This is an ongoing investigation, and we cannot provide further details at this time.”Popular ReadsThe person in the video has not been publicly identified. Sea lions are federally protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s guidelines say that people should stay at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from sea lions, seals and other species protected by the act. “This disgusting act of animal cruelty is unacceptable,” San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said in a post on X. He acknowledged the federal investigation and said he has directed local law enforcement to review the footage. Popular Reads

Usher's Awkward Stage Moment: Fan's Reaction Leaves Audience Shocked

Usher's Awkward Stage Moment: Fan's Reaction Leaves Audience Shocked

Usher quickly put a stop to sexily serenading a fan onstage after she got visibly uncomfortable.In a now-viral moment from the singer’s performance in Nashville on The R&B Tour with Chris Brown on Saturday, a woman from the audience got pulled onstage as the chosen fan Usher sings to. But as a shirtless Usher started singing to her, she looked painfully uncomfortable, though he continued to try to interact with her by lightly touching her chin and face.But when he tried to get her to recline on the onstage bed and she stiffly moved back, the 47-year-old singer pulled away.“I don’t think she want to be on the stage, huh?” he asked the audience, looking bewildered.Usher pulled a fan onstage to sing to during his show Saturday in Nashville, but didn’t get the reaction he was hoping for. Instagram/malaysiaroseeAs a shirtless Usher began singing to her, it was clear she was uncomfortable. Instagram/malaysiaroseeThe fan gave a tight smile as he continued singing. Instagram/malaysiaroseeBut Usher had enough, telling the audience that he didn’t think she wanted to be onstage. Instagram/malaysiaroseeEventually, the “Yeah!” singer stepped away from her completely and waved his hand backwards towards the stage in a signal to bring the fan off, looking annoyed as some fans began to boo.The fan later took to social media to clap back at criticism she received, responding to comments that she should have never agreed to go onstage if she didn’t want to be there.“First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage,” she wrote. “I looked good asf, you think I wasn’t going to let THOUSANDS of people see me?”Usher eventually moved away from her completely. Instagram/malaysiaroseeThe “Yeah!” singer looked bewildered as he went to pick another fan to sing to. Instagram/malaysiaroseeSome audience members booed as he signaled for her to get off stage. Instagram/malaysiaroseeShe shared that she and her mom had floor seats to the show, and she was moved up to the VIP section before the concert even started due to “pretty privileges.” “They don’t say who you’re going up there for!” she wrote. “Y’all wanted me to go up there and f–k him atp?”On Sunday, she posted selfies, and pointedly captioned her post, “Unbothered 😘.”But she continued to defend herself on her Instagram Stories, insisting her attitude wasn’t “nasty.”“Y’all aren’t gonna get on the internet calling me out my name and disrespecting me and expect me to keep it cool!” she expressed, adding, “Don’t think that yall are gonna bully me about an experience that yall didn’t get!”The fan later posted video of herself walking up to the stage on her Instagram Stories. Instagram/gabrielle.cheyenneShe clapped back at the criticism she received, noting that nobody in her position would decline to go onstage. Instagram/gabrielle.cheyenneShe also shared selfies, writing, “Unbothered.” Instagram/gabrielle.cheyenneUsher is known for his spicy concert interactions with fans. His bodyguard hilariously went viral in 2024 for seemingly looking disgusted on the Past Present Future Tour, during the part of the singer’s show when he would let audience members seductively eat cherries.Usher’s co-headliner, Chris Brown, also went viral in September 2025 but for an entirely different reaction that he got to pulling a fan onstage — that fan being Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole.Brown, 37, gave Nicole, 34, a sensual lap dance while singing his 2007 hit, “Take You Down,” during the singer’s Breezy Bowl XX Tour stop in Los Angeles, prompting mixed reaction online. Some fans thought the two went too far, while others praised Nicole for seizing the moment.

Lindsey Graham's Final Push: Will His Russia Sanctions Bill Become Law?

Lindsey Graham's Final Push: Will His Russia Sanctions Bill Become Law?

One of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s final legislative priorities could still become law, according to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who said passing a bipartisan Russia sanctions package would both strengthen U.S. policy toward Ukraine and serve as a lasting tribute to Graham’s decades of work on national security.Speaking earlier this month, Thune said he remains optimistic that the Senate will approve the sweeping sanctions bill Graham championed before his death, calling its passage a fitting way to honor the late South Carolina senator’s legacy.Graham died Saturday at the age of 71. According to a statement from his office, the preliminary cause of death was an acute aortic dissection caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.On Monday, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham’s younger sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to temporarily fill the Senate seat until voters elect a successor in November.Advertisement In the months leading up to his death, Graham had made tougher economic sanctions on Russia one of his top priorities in response to its ongoing war against Ukraine. Just one day before he died, he met in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reaffirm his support for continued U.S. assistance and increased pressure on Moscow.Following Graham’s death, Zelenskyy said he was “deeply saddened” and praised the senator as one of Ukraine’s strongest allies in Washington.During an appearance on CNN, Thune told Dana Bash that Graham’s sanctions proposal remains a priority for Senate leadership. Asked whether the bill would still receive a vote, Thune replied that he was hopeful.“I certainly hope that we can get there to do that,” Thune said.He noted that the White House had worked closely with Graham on the legislation and said Democrats had also expressed support, adding that the measure could ultimately receive between 80 and 90 votes if lawmakers reach agreement on the final language.“Lindsey had been working that issue for a long time,” Thune said. “It’s one of those things he was very passionate about. He wants to see a free and independent Ukraine, as all of us do.”Thune described economic sanctions as one of the most significant foreign policy tools available to the United States and said Graham believed they were critical to advancing American strategic objectives.“He was a big believer that economic sanctions are a huge tool for the president and his administration, for us to achieve that outcome,” Thune said.According to Thune, the sanctions package had become Graham’s foremost legislative priority during his final days.“This sanctions bill was probably, in his last days, the thing that he cared the most about, in terms of an accomplishment,” Thune said. “So I’m hopeful we can get that done. It’s something we’ve been talking about for a long time.”Thune concluded that passage of the legislation would represent a meaningful part of Graham’s legacy.The measure, as it’s currently written, has 60 co-sponsors. It is expected to come up for a vote next week.“It would certainly be an incredible legacy for him if, in fact, we could find a path forward,” he said. “It’ll take Democrats and Republicans here in the Senate to do that. But I’m hopeful we can make that happen.”The legislation, which attracted broad bipartisan support, imposes tougher economic sanctions on Russia in response to its ongoing war against Ukraine and expanded the president’s authority to target Russian financial institutions, energy exports, and other sectors of the Russian economy.Thune had previously described passage of the bill as a fitting tribute to Graham’s legacy, noting that the South Carolina Republican had made the legislation his top priority in his final days. Graham had argued that stronger economic pressure was essential to weakening Russia’s ability to finance its war and to reinforcing U.S. support for Ukraine.Lawmakers from both parties cited Graham’s decades-long commitment to national security and foreign policy as they rallied behind the measure.

Why Nolan Wells' Best Friend Missed the Funeral Amidst Death Threats

Why Nolan Wells' Best Friend Missed the Funeral Amidst Death Threats

Nolan Wells’ self-described best friend blamed death threats for why he was absent from the 18-year-old college football star’s funeral on Monday, according to a new interview.Warren Hudson revealed on The Officer Tatum podcast released Saturday that he did not attend Wells’ funeral for a number of reasons — including his own safety concerns.When asked why he was noticeably absent from Monday’s service, Hudson told host Brandon Tatum he didn’t want to take away from the true purpose of the funeral given the intense social media attention on the Mississippi teen’s death. Warren Hudson, Nolan Wells’ self-described best friend, revealed why he skipped his friend’s funeral on Monday. The Officer Tatum/youtube“With everything going on on social media right now with people saying the crazy things that they’re saying, I would never want to take the attention off of Nolan and his family,” Hudson said.“They don’t deserve that.”Hudson, who was celebrating the Fourth of July at Horn Island with Wells when he mysteriously disappeared, added that his own personal safety was a key factor in his decision not to attend the funeral.Nolan Wells vanished after celebrating the Fourth of July at Horn Island. via REUTERS“And you know, for my own personal reasons, I mean, I’ve gotten thousands of death threats,” Hudson said. “My family’s got thousands of death threats,” he said. “And, you know, for my own safety, I’m not going to put my own health and safety at risk.”“You know, it breaks my heart that I can’t go. And it hurt me more than anything because, you know, obviously I want to say my last goodbyes to one of my best friends,” the grieving pal said. “But I mean, if I’m getting thousands of death threats of people saying they’re going to kill me and do crazy things to my family…I couldn’t bring myself to go because, you know, I got to put my own safety first.’“You know, it breaks my heart that I can’t go,” Hudson said of missing the funeral. The Officer Tatum/youtube“And even if that means, you know, missing my friend’s funeral. I mean, it’s horrible and I wish I could have been there.”Wells’ body was found on July 6 near where he vanished without a trace from two days earlier. While the college football star’s death remains under investigation, preliminary findings from an independent autopsy were released Wednesday, with the teen’s cause and manner of death listed as undetermined pending investigation. His date of death also listed as unknown.The 18-year-old was laid to rest in a closed casket Monday at a packed hometown funeral that included famed director Spike Lee and former NFL star Terrell Owens.The 18-year-old was laid to rest on Monday, less than two weeks after his body was found. Christopher Oquendo for NY PostWells’ mother openly wept as she made her way into Center Pointe Church in Ocean Springs, Miss. — less than two weeks after her son mysteriously died after going missing during a July 4 boating trip with pals.“As long as we continue to remember him, his light will continue to shine through us all,” Wells’ grieving mom Christine Wonsley said through tears.“Nolan we love you, we’ll continue to fight for you, and until we meet again,” she said.

Why 'The View' Hosts Are Upset Over Drastic Budget Cuts

Why 'The View' Hosts Are Upset Over Drastic Budget Cuts

ABC’s long-running daytime talk show The View is reportedly facing significant cost-cutting measures that are affecting everything from host salaries to wardrobe budgets as the network looks to reduce expenses.The reported changes come ahead of the show’s next season and have fueled speculation about broader belt-tightening behind the scenes at one of television’s most recognizable daytime programs.According to a report from Page Six, several of The View’s co-hosts have seen their compensation reduced since Season 29 premiered in September 2025.The report, citing unnamed sources, claims the affected hosts include Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.Neither ABC nor representatives for The View publicly confirmed the reported salary changes.Advertisement Page Six reported that Goldberg remains the show’s highest-paid host, earning what the outlet described as a mid-seven-figure annual salary.The report also claimed that Farah Griffin earns a mid-six-figure salary and was denied a significant raise after requesting one.In addition to compensation, the report says wardrobe budgets have also been reduced.One source quoted by Page Six claimed the hosts are frustrated by the changes.“They’re all mad because they were all wearing really expensive designer clothes, and now it’s the same budget of a Wendy Williams-type show versus a marquee daytime show,” the source said.“They keep downsizing and downsizing and downsizing.”According to the report, additional cost-cutting measures are expected before production resumes in September.The outlet also reported that The View has moved to a smaller production space and that its annual Halloween-themed episode, a longtime fan favorite featuring elaborate costumes and themed sets, has been canceled for this year.The report further claimed that product integration opportunities have become less frequent as some advertisers have shifted their marketing efforts to competing daytime programs.“There are definitely tensions with ABC,” one unnamed source told the publication.Since premiering in August 1997, The View has remained one of daytime television’s longest-running and most recognizable talk shows.Created by legendary journalist Barbara Walters, the original panel featured Walters alongside Joy Behar, Star Jones, Meredith Vieira and Debbie Matenopoulos.Over nearly three decades, the program has featured numerous well-known co-hosts, including Rosie O’Donnell, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, Jenny McCarthy, Raven-Symoné, Candace Cameron Bure, Paula Faris and Meghan McCain.Brian Teta has served as executive producer since 2017 and also hosts the companion podcast, Behind the Table.Despite the reported budget reductions, The View continues to rank among the highest-profile daytime talk shows in television, regularly generating headlines for its political discussions, celebrity interviews and commentary on current events, The New York Post reported.For now, however, the reported financial changes remain based on unnamed sources, and ABC has not publicly confirmed the alleged pay cuts, budget reductions or production changes ahead of the show’s upcoming season.And in February the Federal Communications Commission opened an investigation into “The View,” according to a report published by Fox News Digital. A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that the probe centers on the FCC’s rarely enforced equal-time rule.“Fake news is not getting a free pass anymore,” the source said, Mediate reported.The equal-time rule, part of the Communications Act of 1934, requires broadcast stations to provide equal opportunities to legally qualified political candidates when one is given airtime.In January, the FCC said it would issue guidance to ABC, CBS, and NBC on compliance with the statute.“Under section 315, if a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidate for public office to use its facilities, it shall provide an equal opportunity to all other legally qualified candidates for that office,” the FCC said in a statement last month.The statement said the agency was particularly concerned with the airing of political content on daytime and late-night talk shows.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Tension Rises as Legal Challenge Threatens Democrats' Senate Nominee in Maine

Tension Rises as Legal Challenge Threatens Democrats' Senate Nominee in Maine

A new legal challenge is threatening to complicate Democrats’ effort to replace their U.S. Senate nominee in Maine, raising questions about whether the party’s expected replacement is even eligible to appear on the November ballot.The dispute comes just hours before Democratic delegates are scheduled to choose a new nominee in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races.Republican state Rep. James White has asked Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows to determine whether former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson is legally eligible to become the Democratic nominee following the withdrawal of Graham Platner.In a letter sent Friday, White argued Jackson cannot use Maine’s party vacancy process to reach the ballot because he already sought a different statewide office during this election cycle.Advertisement “The vacancy process exists to fill an unexpected vacancy, not to provide a second opportunity for a candidate who already sought and lost another office during the same election process,” White wrote.Jackson finished third in Maine’s Democratic gubernatorial primary in June before emerging as the overwhelming favorite to replace Platner.Platner withdrew from the Senate race on July 10 after a former girlfriend accused him of sexual assault.Platner denied the allegation before ending his campaign, forcing Democrats to select a replacement through a party convention rather than another primary election.White argues that Maine election law prohibits a candidate from appearing as a candidate for more than one office during the same election.His letter cites provisions of Title 21-A of Maine law, which bars a person from filing as a candidate for more than one office at any election and requires political parties filling vacancies to select a “qualified person.”White contends Jackson does not meet that requirement because he already participated in this year’s gubernatorial primary.He also cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Storer v. Brown, arguing that primary elections are an integral part of the overall election process and should be treated as part of the same election cycle.“The integrity of Maine’s elections depends on the faithful application of the law, not on whether bending the rules may benefit one political party or another,” White wrote.According to The Maine Wire, Maine does not have a traditional “sore loser” law that expressly prohibits a candidate who loses one primary from later appearing on the general election ballot for a different office.White argues, however, that existing provisions of Maine election law, when read together, effectively create that restriction.Jackson, a fifth-generation logger and former president of the Maine Senate, became the leading contender for the Democratic nomination after several potential rivals declined to run and instead endorsed his candidacy.His expected nomination comes through a convention of Democratic delegates rather than a statewide vote by Democratic primary voters.The challenge now falls to Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.Bellows, a Democrat, is responsible for interpreting and administering Maine’s election laws.She previously drew national attention after removing President Donald Trump from Maine’s 2024 presidential primary ballot under the Fourteenth Amendment before that decision was ultimately overturned following U.S. Supreme Court action.Bellows also recently ended her own campaign for the same U.S. Senate seat before Jackson emerged as the likely replacement nominee.If Bellows determines Jackson is eligible, Democrats are expected to move forward with his nomination.If she concludes otherwise, the party could be forced to consider another replacement candidate or face additional legal proceedings over ballot access, The Maine Wire reported.The dispute adds another layer of uncertainty to a race Democrats view as one of their best opportunities to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins, while Republicans argue the nomination process should strictly follow Maine election law regardless of the political consequences.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Gema Garoa en el ojo del huracán: ¿Entrará a La Casa de los Famosos tras la muerte de su padre?

Gema Garoa en el ojo del huracán: ¿Entrará a La Casa de los Famosos tras la muerte de su padre?

La actriz mexicana Gema Garoa está de luto tras la muerte de su padre, según confirmó el periodista Alex Kaffie la tarde de este domingo; cabe destacar que los reportes sobre el fallecimiento del señor David García Chavira iniciaron este fin de semana en distintas cuentas de espectáculos en redes sociales.

Cabe destacar que hasta ahora la productora Rosa María Nogueron no ha confirmado o descartado la participación de la actriz, por lo que será hasta esta noche que se determine si participará o no en la casa más famosa de México.  (Foto: IG @kaffievillano y X @lacomadritaof_) “Ya me dieron el nombre, falleció el padre de GG. No era oficial aún su participación dentro de La Casa de los Famosos. Sería la revelada de mañana. Pero que triste estar en aislamiento a punto de iniciar un proyecto y que te lleguen este tipo de noticias #LCDLFMx”, se lee en el mensaje difundido a través de redes sociales. Por su parte, Gema no ha hablado sobre la muerte de su padre, el señor David García, además que su última publicación en Instagram fue el pasado 12 de julio presumiendo el inmenso amor que siente por su mascota, un gatito: “Es que yo lo amo”, escribió para acompañar el reel. ¿De qué murió el papá de Gema Garoa?Hasta el momento no se tienen detalles sobre el fallecimiento del papá de Gema Garoa; asimismo, es poca la información que se tiene sobre su vida privada. Entre los pocos detalles, se destaca que el señor David García Chavira nació en 1956 y que murió este mes de julio de 2026. Hasta ahora la actriz no ha hablado sobre la muerte de su padre. (Foto: IG @gemagaroa) ¿Gema Garoa entrará a La Casa de los Famosos?Gama Garoa no ha sido confirmada como participante de la cuarta temporada de ‘La Casa de los Famosos México’; sin embargo, desde antes de que la producción del reality show anunciara uno a uno a sus habitantes, se filtró una lista de jugadores entre los que se encuentra la actriz mexicana. Cabe recordar que cada año los seleccionados permanecen en secreto hasta días antes del inicio de la temporada, o bien, anunciados durante el estreno de temporada. De ser una de las confirmadas de la temporada y la “sorpresa” de esta noche de estreno, quedará a esperar el inicio del reality show para conocer si entrará al juego en medio de su duelo o si por el contrario, declinó para vivir fuera del encierro su luto. Según los reportes extraoficiales que se tienen por ahora, Gema habría recibido la triste noticia este fin de semana en el hotel en el que ella y el resto de habitantes de ‘La Casa de los Famosos México’ permanecerían recluidos previo al estreno.

Mayor Mamdani Criticized for Rikers Island Visit as Tragedy Strikes

Mayor Mamdani Criticized for Rikers Island Visit as Tragedy Strikes

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is too busy obsessing over his image to help prevent tragedies such as the fatal  shooting of an ex-Finest’s innocent 12-year-old as he walked to a bodega, a prominent activist charged Sunday.Fernando Mateo, founder of United Bodega Owners of America, slammed the lefty mayor for watching a FIFA World Cup game with inmates at Rikers Island in a publicity stunt earlier this month  while rampant gunplay continues to plague the city’s streets — and claimed the life of beloved young Jacob Freytes on Saturday.The gunfire erupted outside the bodega on Elliott Place near the Grand Concourse. United Bodegas of AmericaInnocent 12-year-old Jacob Freytes was shot during the melee, as he rushed into the bodega for safety. United Bodegas of America“Where is Mamdani?” Mateo seethed at outside the Mount Eden bodega where the  boy was shot.“If you’re in jail, you’re in jail for a reason! Teach [inmates] a skill if you want. But don’t go out there watching a freaking FIFA game! And enjoying dinner with people that are in jail because they committed a crime!”The Big Apple activist also ripped Hizzoner and Gov.

Senator John Kennedy's Concerns Stir Debate Over Trump's Saudi Nuclear Deal

Senator John Kennedy's Concerns Stir Debate Over Trump's Saudi Nuclear Deal

Republican Senator John Kennedy voiced skepticism Sunday regarding the Trump administration's newly announced civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, breaking with his party as lawmakers prepare to evaluate the deal.Kennedy's remarks follow President Donald Trump's announcement of the agreement and his subsequent addition of a condition requiring Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel before it can advance—a provision that has drawn criticism from both parties and cast doubt on its viability in Congress.Newsweek reached out to the Trump administration for comment on Sunday.Why Kennedy Opposes the DealAsked on CBS News' Face the Nation whether he was comfortable with the agreement, Kennedy responded: "No. Maybe someday, but not right now."The Louisiana Republican argued that pursuing a Saudi nuclear agreement while the United States remains at war with Iran sends a contradictory message."We're bombing a country to keep them from getting a nuclear weapon, but we're signing a deal with another country,” he said. “I know it's a commercial agreement, but that the world perceives as possibly someday leading to a nuclear weapon.”Kennedy repeatedly emphasized that his concern was not necessarily the concept of civilian nuclear cooperation itself but the timing."The world's on a hair trigger," he said, arguing that countries around the world are increasingly focused on nuclear deterrence amid instability in the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere.The comments come despite Kennedy's consistent alignment with Trump's foreign policy. During the same interview, he defended the administration's overall posture toward Iran, rejecting calls to end U.S. involvement entirely and advocating for continued economic and military pressure short of a ground war.What the Deal Would DoThe proposed agreement establishes a framework for civilian nuclear cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, pending congressional review.The Trump administration contends the pact would solidify strategic ties with a key Middle East ally while securing commercial opportunities for U.S. firms in Saudi Arabia's nuclear energy sector. Proponents argue that American participation ensures greater oversight of the kingdom's nuclear development.However, the proposal has long divided policymakers over proliferation risks, particularly given Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's previous assertion that Saudi Arabia would pursue nuclear weapons if Tehran acquired them....Trump's New Israel RequirementPolitical friction escalated after Trump conditioned the deal on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing ties with Riyadh's neighbors—a demand introduced less than 24 hours after the initial announcement.Despite Riyadh engaging in discussions over closer ties with Israel in recent years as well, Saudi Arabia has maintained that formal recognition of Israel is contingent on substantive progress toward a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the idea of Palestinian statehood as being untenable for his country's security.Kennedy expressed doubt that the requirement can be satisfied."I don't think it's going to happen anyway because the president's conditioned it on Saudi Arabia recognizing Israel, and they're not going to do that," he said.Netanyahu's office in a statement applauded the prospect of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords as a "historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East." The statement, however, made no mention of the deal to bolster Saudi's civil nuclear program.Van Hollen's Criticism Takes Different ApproachWhile Kennedy questioned the timing, Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen targeted the administration's negotiation tactics.Appearing Sunday on ABC News' This Week, the Maryland senator criticized the retroactive addition of new conditions."The Trump administration, after getting the Saudis to sign it, turned around and said, 'Well, we're not going to follow through unless you normalize relations with Israel, unless you join the Abraham Accords," Van Hollen said. He characterized the maneuver as a "bait-and-switch scheme" that created "complete whiplash" for Saudi leadership.What Happens NextThe agreement remains subject to a formal congressional review period under the Atomic Energy Act which gives Congress 90 days to consider it, where lawmakers are expected to scrutinize nonproliferation safeguards and regional stability implications.With Democrats challenging the negotiation process and at least one prominent Republican questioning the timing, the administration faces an uphill battle on Capitol Hill.Contact Newsweek editor for this story: Anthony Murray.
