FIRST ON FOX:Donald Trump will host farmers, ranchers, cattlemen and agricultural producers from across the country for dinner at the White House on Thursday, a White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital, as the administration looks to spotlight an industry that has long been a cornerstone of both the U.S. economy and the president’s political base.

The Rose Garden feast comes as the White House seeks to highlight Trump’s America First trade agenda, which officials argue is creating new opportunities for farmers in the U.S. through expanded market access and reduced trade barriers.

The event underscores the administration’s effort to strengthen ties with rural America while making the case that Trump’s trade, tax and regulatory policies are delivering tangible benefits for farmers. It also underscores how significant these economic issues are for voters in the 2026 midterm elections.

Thursday’s gathering will coincide with the first day of the Great American State Fair kicking off on the National Mall this week to celebrate the 250th Independence Day.

The dinner also follows several recent agriculture-focused events involving the president, including remarks during National Agriculture Week at the White House in March, a visit with farmers in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, earlier this month and a roundtable discussion with producers and Cabinet officials in December.

Attendees are expected to include farmers from more than a dozen states, along with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service Administrator Mehmet Oz and lawmakers from major agricultural states.

“President Trump is proud to host American farmers from across the nation at the White House on Thursday,” White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital. “There is no greater champion for American farmers, growers and ranchers than President Trump.”

Thursday’s dinner menu will feature fresh produce from the White House Kitchen Garden and honey from the White House Beehive, according to a Trump official.

SMART POLICY AND CHEAPER EGGS: TRUMP-ROLLINS TEAM GOOD FOR FARMERS AND US CONSUMERS

Agriculture has long been a key component of the U.S. economy and a major driver of exports, with farmers relying on foreign markets to purchase everything from grains and oilseeds to meat and dairy products. Access to those markets often plays a significant role in determining farm profitability, making trade policy a major issue for producers and rural communities.

The White House says Trump’s trade policies have expanded access to more than 2 billion consumers worldwide, with countries including Japan, the United Kingdom, India, Taiwan, Vietnam and several others reducing or eliminating tariffs on U.S. agricultural exports.

Administration officials say food and agricultural exports rose by double digits in 2025.

The administration is also highlighting $12 billion in bridge payments for farmers during trade negotiations, arguing the assistance helped agricultural producers weather the transition as new trade agreements were pursued.

In addition to trade, the administration has emphasized tax policies designed to benefit rural communities and family-owned farms.

White House officials say the president’s Working Families Tax Cuts package allows producers to fully expense farm equipment and structures, expands deductions tied to rural economic activity and increases the federal estate and gift tax exemption to $15 million.

The estate tax issue has long been a priority for many farm organizations, which argue that taxes on inherited land can make it more difficult for family farms to pass from one generation to the next without selling acreage or other assets.

For the White House, Thursday’s dinner is as much about policy as politics. Rural counties were a critical component of Trump’s electoral coalition and administration officials have increasingly pointed to trade, tax and regulatory reforms as evidence that the president is delivering on promises made to farmers and agricultural communities during his reelection campaign.

Washington Wizards select AJ Dybantsa No. 1 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft

Updated on: June 23, 2026 / 10:25 PM EDT / CBS/AP

In what is considered one of the most talented classes in recent memory, the Washington Wizards selected BYU small forward AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick of the NBA Draft.

Heading into Tuesday’s draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Wizards were believed to be deciding between Dybantsa and Kansas phenom combo guard Darryn Peterson. The Utah Jazz then took Peterson at No. 2.

The Memphis Grizzlies selected Duke forward Cameron Boozer at No. 3. Boozer is following in the footsteps of his famous father, Carlos Boozer, who also played at Duke before a successful NBA career.

At No. 4, the Chicago Bulls chose North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson.

Dybantsa appeared to say a quick prayer after his name was announced, then went on stage to greet Commissioner Adam Silver and slipped on a black Wizards hat that matched nicely with his black suit. He will join a Wizards team that has struggled to find its footing in recent years, making only one playoff appearance in the last eight seasons due to a series of misfires on the roster front.

But the Wizards will be looking for a fresh start with a team built around Dybantsa, star point guard Trae Young — who agreed to a four-year, $212 million deal earlier this week — and big man Anthony Davis, who the Wizards traded for in February.

Dybantsa averaged 25.5 points last season at BYU, highlighted by a 43-point effort that broke BYU’s freshman scoring record. At 6-foot-9 and 217 pounds, Dybantsa has drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant, who happens to be his favorite player. Durant grew up in the Washington area.

The Wizards desperately need Dybantsa to prove he can make them contenders in a competitive Eastern Conference that just saw the New York Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years, and then saw superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat.

The last time the Wizards had the No. 1 overall pick was in 2010, when they took point guard John Wall. The five-time All-Star had a solid career that was ultimately derailed by injuries. Wizards fans will be hoping Dybantsa has a better tenure.

Some thought Peterson had the most talent in the class, but the guard missed 11 games during the season because of injuries and illness, potentially creating some questions that Dybantsa didn’t have.

In taking Wilson, the Bulls drafted a player from North Carolina in the first round for the third time. It worked out pretty well the first two times.

Chicago selected Michael Jordan with the No. 3 pick in 1984, and the Hall of Fame guard led the franchise to six NBA championships in the 1990s.

The Bulls took Coby White at No. 7 in 2019. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 15.4 points in six-plus seasons with the team before he was traded to Charlotte in February.

Many experts believed any possible chaos or surprises in the draft would start at the fifth pick or later, because Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer and Wilson were widely considered to be the top four prospects.

With that No. 5 pick — which the Los Angeles Clippers acquired the rights to after a trade with the Indiana Pacers — the Clippers took Illinois guard Keaton Wagler. In his lone college season, in which he led the Fighting Illini to the Final Four, Wagler shot 40% from 3-point range, 80% from the foul line, and averaged 4.2 assists per game. But what might have tipped the scale for the Clippers was his size. He stands 6-foot-5 without shoes, making him one of the tallest guards in this draft class.

The draft host Brooklyn Nets then went with Louisville guard Mikel Brown Jr. at No. 6, and the Sacramento Kings went with Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. at No. 7. University of Houston point guard Kingston Flemings went to the Atlanta Hawks at No. 8.

The Dallas Mavericks created a reunion with the No. 9 pick by taking forward Morez Johnson Jr. from Michigan. Johnson was congratulated by national champion Michigan teammates Yaxel Lendeborg and Aday Mara, who were also in the green room, and then hugged his old and new coach. Dusty May left the Wolverines to coach the Mavericks on the eve of the draft.

Lendeborg and Mara didn’t have to wait long for their turn. The Golden State Warriors took Lendenborg with the No. 11 pick and the Oklahoma City Thunder followed by going for the 7-3 Mara at No. 12.

The draft is always a celebration, when all teams have hope, but the cheers seemed even more frequent than usual. They began when Silver opened his remarks by hailing the Knicks and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, with a number of fans in Barclays Center wearing Knicks jerseys. Nets fans, who endured a miserable season watching the home team in the arena, applauded the selection of Brown, who had a 45-point performance to highlight his season that was cut short by a back injury.

The Bucks picked up two rookies. They took Arizona guard Brayden Burries with the No. 10 pick and are acquiring the rights to Tennessee forward Nate Ament, who was taken at No. 13 by Miami but is part of the package the Heat are sending to Milwaukee in the trade for Antetokounmpo that was agreed to Monday.

巴基斯坦总理：美伊谈判未涉及弹道导弹议题

巴基斯坦总理谢里夫说，伊朗和美国此前围绕谅解备忘录的谈判并未涉及弹道导弹议题。

新华社报道，谢里夫星期二（6月23日）在与到访的伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬共同出席记者会时说，在美伊这一谈判过程中，弹道导弹议题“从未摆上谈判桌”，也“从未被列入议程”，伊方从未同意对此进行任何讨论。

本月早些时候，美国与伊朗签署谅解备忘录之际，美国总统特朗普称，他不反对伊朗拥有弹道导弹，但以色列对此坚决反对。

谢里夫在记者会上也对日前在冲突中遇难的伊朗民众表示哀悼，并说巴基斯坦坚定与伊朗人民站在一起。

佩泽希齐扬对巴基斯坦在缓和地区局势所发挥的作用表示感谢，称巴方为维护地区稳定做出了“负责任且富有远见”的贡献。他也呼吁在西亚和海湾地区建立以对话、相互尊重和合作参与为基础的新型地区安全架构。

美国和以色列2月28日对伊朗发动大规模空袭，伊朗随即对美以在中东地区的军事基地等目标发起还击。相关方于4月8日达成临时停火。一段时间以来，巴基斯坦在美伊之间发挥调解作用。6月18日，美国和伊朗宣布远程签署谅解备忘录。

英伟达受禁AI晶片在中国黑市价格翻倍

据报美国晶片巨头英伟达的人工智能（AI）晶片，在中国黑市上的价格已上涨逾一倍。 （路透社档案照）

英国《金融时报》星期二（6月23日）引述多名中国晶片交易商报道，美国晶片巨头英伟达的人工智能（AI）晶片，在中国黑市上的价格已上涨逾一倍。

路透社星期三（24日）报道这项消息。

此前，负责监管出口的美国商务部下属工业和安全局，5月31日在官网发布指引文件，明确所有企业出口先进晶片时，无论目的地是哪里，只要交易公司的总部或最终控股公司在中国等受管控国家，就都必须申请许可。

这意味着，中国企业无法再通过在新马等国设立子公司的方式，避开禁令购买先进晶片。

英伟达公司人员称，美国商务部之前已明确向公司施加出口许可证要求，因此英伟达无法出口最先进晶片，新指引不会带来改变。

另据彭博社早前报道，采购记录显示，至少有七所支持中国军方和国防工业的中国高校，在寻求获得英伟达的H200晶片。这些高校包括属于“国防七子”的北京航空航天大学和西北工业大学。美国商务部以这些高校推进中国军事发展相关工作为由，将它们列入黑名单。

美国总统特朗普称伊朗只能把解冻资金用于购买美国食品和医疗用品。

彭博社报道，特朗普星期二（6月23日）在社交媒体平台Truth Social发文称，这笔数十亿美元的解冻资金将存入“由美国控制的托管账户”，并用于采购玉米、小麦、大豆等美国本土种植的农产品。

特朗普还说，在针对德黑兰核活动的同步谈判中，伊朗已同意“在未来很长的一段时间，接受最高级别的核检查”。伊朗核活动是结束这场持续近四个月的战争并确保霍尔木兹海峡开放的关键议题。

然而伊朗外交部发言人巴盖伊驳斥了特朗普的说法。他强调，伊朗将“自由支配”解冻资金而不是被限制，只能购买美国商品。

巴盖伊也驳斥特朗普关于核检查的说法，他说：“我们没有会见国际原子能机构总干事，也没有任何计划让IAEA检查伊朗的核设施。”

Gen. Chris Donahue set to retire as Army commander in Europe and Africa, in latest departure by top military official

June 23, 2026 / 10:38 PM EDT / CBS News

By Jennifer Jacobs, Margaret Brennan

Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, has submitted his retirement papers, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation, marking the latest high-level officer to leave the military during the second Trump administration.

Donahue had clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, multiple sources told CBS News.

The U.S. Army confirmed in a statement that Donahue will “relinquish command” on July 2. Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, his deputy, will “perform the duties of the commanding general.”

“The Army thanks Gen. Donahue for his leadership of U.S. Army Europe and Africa,” an Army spokesperson said.

Donahue is a West Point graduate, former Delta Force commander and former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division. He helped lead security for the evacuation of the Afghan capital of Kabul in 2021, and was perhaps best known for being the last American soldier on the ground in Afghanistan, before boarding the final U.S. aircraft departing Kabul.

The following year, as Ukraine faced a full-scale Russian invasion, Donahue was among the first senior officers on the ground in Europe to assist the Ukrainian armed forces. He was known for playing a pivotal role in advising the Ukrainians and enabling them to survive the first year of the war.

It had long been thought that Donahue would eventually be chief of staff of the U.S. Army and would be in the military for a handful of years, sources told CBS News. News of his coming departure has hit hard for some members of the military who have long looked up to Donahue.

Brett McGurk, who served as special presidential envoy to the counter-Islamic State coalition during the Obama and first Trump administrations, told CBS News: “There are few people more responsible for the defeat of ISIS than Chris Donohue. He is among the most consequential commanders of his generation.”

Retired Army Gen. Tony Thomas, former commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, said of Donahue: “Generational leader. One of the best ever.”

A colleague described Donahue as “unequivocally one of our Nation’s best,” and a “bold, innovative leader who could also relate to and was respected by both the most experienced special operations [non-commissioned officers] and ordinary soldiers.”

The Atlantic was first to report Donahue’s departure.

CBS News has reached out to the military for comment.

Several other high-profile military officials have departed the federal government since President Trump’s return to office.

Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George— the Army’s top uniformed officer — to step down in April, and the Army officers who led the Transportation and Training Command and the Chaplain Corps were removed from their roles. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield was also removed in April from her position as the U.S. military representative to NATO’s military committee.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown — was ousted in February 2025, along with Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife. Shortly before that, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan was fired.

The head of the U.S. military’s Southern Command, Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey, also retired at the end of last year.

Del. Adrian Boafo, D-Md., emerged from a crowded Democratic primary Tuesday to clinch the nomination for former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s deep-blue Maryland seat, aided by millions in outside spending from cryptocurrency and pro-Israel groups.

Boafo, 32, defeated a crowded field of roughly two dozen challengers vying to represent the heavily Democratic district Tuesday, including former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, according to The Associated Press.

Dunn, who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots in 2021, put opposition to President Donald Trump at the center of his campaign, including criticizing the pardoning of Jan. 6 riot defendants and the president’s defunct $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. Dunn resigned from the Capitol Police force in 2023.

Boafo’s primary victory comes after the crypto-aligned super PAC Protect Progress and the United Democracy Project — an outside spending group linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) — spent more than $10 million to support his candidacy, according to The Washington Post.

He also had the backing of Maryland’s Democratic establishment, including endorsements from Hoyer, Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., and the state’s largest teachers union.

Boafo previously worked as a campaign aide to Hoyer and a federal lobbyist for the software and technology company Oracle before being elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2022.

Hoyer, 86, who has represented the southern Maryland seat for 45 years, announced his retirement in January, setting off a scramble among roughly 24 Democratic candidates for the open seat. He served in House Democratic leadership with his one-time rival, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., from 2007 to 2011 and 2019 to 2023.

Pelosi broke with Hoyer in the primary contest to endorse Dunn, calling him a “true American hero.” Dunn previously mounted a failed primary bid for an open Maryland House seat in 2024.

Dunn notably lived outside the district he sought to represent, residing in Wheaton, Md., but said he would move to Maryland’s 5th Congressional District if he won the primary and general election.

美国据报审查中国机器人输美情况 或出台限制措施

2026年6月24日 08:34 / 联合早报

美国商务部长卢特尼克据报星期一（6月22日）透露，商务部正在研究中国国家补贴支持的机器人产品输美情况，并暗示政府可能在审查完成后采取行动。图为中国国际供应链促进博览会上展出的小鹏IRON人形机器。 （路透社）

美国媒体报道，美国商务部长卢特尼克星期一（6月22日）在一场闭门会议上告诉企业高管，商务部正在研究中国国家补贴支持的机器人产品输美情况，并暗示政府可能在审查完成后采取行动。

美国政治新闻网Politico引述三名出席会议的人士报道上述消息。

卢特尼克在会上说：“我们不希望由国家补贴支持的机器人在美国对我们形成冲击。接下来将进入美国的是机器人手臂（robotic arms）。”

他还说：“我们必须确保这些产品在美国本土生产，因此我们现在正对此展开研究。”

近年来，美国官员愈发将中国政府扶持的机器人产业视为国家安全风险，担心在政府补贴支持下，中国机器人企业会在美国制造商尚未具备足够竞争规模前抢占全球市场主导地位。

目前，中国制造的机器人已面临美国关税，但多名与会人士认为，卢特尼克的表态显示，特朗普政府正考虑采取进一步措施。

这场圆桌会议汇集10多家企业高管，包括太空探索技术公司SpaceX、波士顿动力、摩根大通、高盛、西门子和罗克韦尔自动化等企业代表。与会者讨论如何扭转过去数十年制造业外迁趋势，并重建生产半导体、机器人等产品所需的工业基础。

报道称，政府官员和业界领袖认为，美国已失去大量制造下一代机器人所需的产业基础，包括机床制造和关键零部件生产能力。他们希望在中国进一步扩大机器人制造领先优势之前，重建相关产业生态体系。
