Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump says he has spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon and both have agreed to stop fighting. Trump posted the message a short time ago on social media after Iran's semi official news outlet reported the Islamic Republic was suspending intermediary peace talks with the United States over Israel's expanded military operations in southern Lebanon and in Gaza. Trump's social media post did not address Israeli actions in Gaza. The US And Israel have been at war with Iran for about three months now with no clear end in sight. Retired army general and former NATO supreme ally commander General Wesley Clark says Trump does not appear to be in a rush to end the conflict, despite the political pressure he faces this midterm election year.

You always have to take World cup warm up game results with a degree of caution. More than anything, it's a chance for coaches to experiment. But the 57,000 fans that saw the US beat Senegal 32 on Sunday will be largely encouraged. Christian Pulisic shone with a goal and an assist. There were also goals for Seginio Dest and Folar and Balogun. Senegal are ranked 14th in the FIFA world rankings. So this was a stern test against a talented team. The US now play four time World cup winners Germany in their final warm up game in Chicago this weekend. They then travel to LA where they'll take on Paraguay in their World cup opener on June 12.
