White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Switzerland, where the first round of talks with Iran on a potential nuclear deal is expected to take place on Sunday, U.S. officials told Axios.

• Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Switzerland on Saturday to join the talks. Vice President Vance is expected to travel to Switzerland on Saturday to participate in the negotiations Sunday, a per source familiar, while Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf is also expected to attend.

Why it matters: The talks were supposed to start on Friday but were postponed because of the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. It's not yet clear if a new time has been set for the talks.

It was a historic, even jarring, scene that captures a once-unimaginable geopolitical ordering. The world's most powerful heads of state gathered in the French Alps this week for the annual G7 summit, with the CEOs of America's dominant AI companies seated and treated like heads of nation-states themselves.

Why it matters: This is the future many leaders and AI CEOs envision — heads of state and the masters of tech in constant discussion, and sometimes conflict, over who controls AI, its rules, and its application to governing and world security.

Some Democratic candidates are learning the hard way that there's a cost to being party leadership's favorite in a hotly contested primary.

Why it matters: This echoes the Tea Party wave that hit Republicans in the 2010s, with party outsiders harnessing primary voters' anger to win upset victories over establishment candidates.
