People across the Middle East, including thousands of US troops deployed to the region, are waiting for a decision tonight from President Trump about a proposal to end the war in Iran.
We didn't hear from the president on that issue, but we did see him today golfing at his Virginia club. CBS's Olivia Gazis reports tonight from the White House.
Olivia, good evening.
>> Good evening, Jericka. The president's golf outing today comes as questions mount over whether a deal with Iran is getting closer or farther away.
Silence so far from the White House more than 24 hours after President Trump said he would make a final determination on Iran with no deal and no decision yet in sight.
He spoke to daughter-in-law Lara Trump earlier this week.
>> Is there a line that they would cross for you to go on the offensive again militarily?
>> Well, a deal that wasn't going to be good for us is the line ultimately, because, you know, I'm playing it out and we're going to see and that's what I do. I negotiate, they negotiate. They're very good negotiators. They're crafty.
>> In Singapore, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said there would be progress or a return to military strikes as reports emerged of more Americans injured by an Iranian missile attack in Kuwait.
>> Right now, we're we're focused on being postured and prepared to re-engage if we have to.
I mean, this is a high-stakes negotiation. We've got the best negotiator in the world leading it.
>> Days of optimistic messaging over a possible deal have pleased Wall Street, pushing gas prices down nearly 20 cents this week even as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
>> Iran is certainly suffering economically, but the United States along with the global economy more broadly are suffering from incredibly high commodity prices, not to mention the fact the United States is spending billions of dollars to maintain its readiness to resume military operations against Iran.
>> And the president has not been silent today on other issues.
On social media, he accused a judge who ruled that the Trump name be removed from the Kennedy Center of bias.
The president also said he wants to hold a political rally instead of instead of a concert during the country's 250th anniversary celebration. That's after most musical artists canceled, Jericka.
>> And Olivia, I understand there's an update tonight about the president's latest physical.
>> That's right. The president's physician said that he was in excellent health with a cardiac age 14 years younger than his chronological age, though he had gained 14 lb since his last physical.
Jericka, the president celebrates his 80th birthday on June 14th.
>> All right, Olivia. Thank you.
