The FOX News Rundown

President Trump is in Geneva for the G7 summit, where Vice President Vance is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Has the U.S. secured a diplomatic breakthrough, or have we blinked first against a fanatical regime? To break down what this deal really means, Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Heritage Foundation's Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Deputy National Security Advisor during the first Trump administration, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the deal, Iran's motives, and what comes next.
