Speaking to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, President Trump said he faces a "big decision" on whether to strike Iran again or pursue a peace deal, asking whether he should "annihilate the Islamic Republic." Members of Iran's delegation walked out during the speech.

In other key moments from the address, Trump called Cuba "an absolutely failed state" as its delegation walked out, and rebranded AI as "Super Intelligence." He predicted an Iran deal would follow November's midterms, and later said US officials held a "very productive" three-hour meeting with Iran's delegation.

Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday the administration will remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from the exchanges, alleging they were fraudulently enrolled or do not exist. Canceling roughly 315,000 enrollments will save $2.2 billion, he said, while another 419,000 enrollments get extra verification.

Officials also announced a six-month suspension on new agents and brokers, whom they say commit a disproportionate share of the fraud. About 19.2 million Americans are enrolled in ACA marketplace plans, and Rep. Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat, accused the administration of "doubling down to take it away entirely."

Democratic attorneys general from California and New York sued the Trump administration Tuesday over its plans to buy back offshore wind leases. The deals would hand energy companies $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars to cancel projects, part of nearly $4 billion the administration has pledged nationwide.

New York Attorney General Letitia James called the deals illegal, saying they would raise electricity bills by undercutting states' ability to meet growing demand. Trump has said his goal is to not let any "windmills" be built, and seven more states, from Connecticut to Vermont, joined New York's suit.

Ukraine reacted with anger after the EU moved to lift sanctions on two Russian oligarchs, Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, with officials in Kyiv calling the decision "unacceptable."

What it is: With gas and diesel still elevated amid supply disruptions tied to the Iran war, House lawmakers this month introduced several bills to ease prices at the pump. They would suspend federal fuel taxes, restrict diesel exports or let workers deduct commuting costs. Regular unleaded averaged about $4.48 a gallon Tuesday, according to AAA, up from $3.18 a year ago.

The detail: A bipartisan bill introduced Monday by Rep. Laura Gillen, D-N.Y., with New Jersey Republicans Jeff Van Drew and Tom Kean Jr., would create an above-the-line deduction of up to $4,080 a year for gas, public transit and tolls, starting with expenses after Dec. 31.

Separately, Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., wants to suspend the federal excise tax, 18.4 cents a gallon on gas and 24.4 cents on diesel, through Dec. 31. That works out to about $2.76 saved per 15-gallon fill-up.

Why it matters: Affordability is on the ballot, with 47% of registered voters in a Reuters/Ipsos poll naming the cost of living as the single most important factor in their vote. Garrett Watson of the Tax Foundation noted the deduction only helps at tax time, and that a suspension's savings may not fully reach consumers.

What to watch: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday the administration is examining whether a diesel export ban is feasible, and Trump said a decision would come quickly, "one way or another." It is uncertain whether Congress could consider any of the House bills when lawmakers return after the Nov. 3 midterms.
