Senate Republicans hold a critical vote Tuesday on the latest effort to repeal Obamacare, in the face of withering criticism from President Donald Trump -- and confusion over whether they even have enough support to move forward. Trump has spent weeks cajoling, strong-arming and warning Republicans to get on board with his effort to overhaul his successor's health care reforms, but several are skeptical about how the new plan could affect millions of Americans. In recent weeks, several measures have been considered -- but ultimately collapsed, revealing fissures within the Republican Party on how to reach a goal they have had since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A U.S. Navy patrol boat fired warning shots Tuesday near an Iranian vessel that came close to it during a tense encounter in the Persian Gulf, an American defense official said. Iran's hard-line Revolutionary Guard later blamed the American ship for provoking the incident.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in last year's U.S. election and raised questions, without offering evidence, about Ukrainian support for his Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton. In a pair of early morning tweets, Trump also said U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had "taken a very weak position" toward the Democratic presidential nominee and cited "Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - quietly working to boost Clinton'." Trump did not elaborate or offer evidence about any role Ukraine may have played in the 2016 election.
