AP News LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman who admitted to selling Matthew Perry the ketamine that killed him is set to be sentenced Wednesday.

AP News Iran, the United States and Israel said they reached a deal for a two-week ceasefire, with Tehran saying it would negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday.

Trump initially said Iran proposed a “workable” 10-point plan, but he later called the plan fraudulent without elaborating.
