## Resource

JD Vance holds peace talks with Iran, overshadowed by Tehran saying it shut the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump says that the renovated Reflecting Pool ‌probably must be renovated following what he called vandalism. Prime Minister Keir Starmer considers his political future and could decide as soon as Monday whether to step aside or fight a UK leadership contest against Andy Burnham. A heatwave in Europe leads to a partial alcohol ban in France. Plus, Mexico City could limit alcohol sales after a massive World Cup party. Listen to Pitchside, our new World Cup podcast ⁠here⁠.
