Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
President Trump posted on social media that his administration is getting close to meeting
“its objectives during the war on Iran and considering winding down military efforts.”
He called on nations that use the critical straight of Hormuz to police it, but quote,
"It shouldn't be necessary once Iran's threat is eradicated." Earlier today, Trump called NATO Allides Cowards for not joining operations to secure the strait. The war has tested Trump's traditional approach of negotiating through threats over the last week. The president has run into some significant political limits, as NPR's "A Tamar Keith" explains.
Trump didn't build a case for this war with the American public or with traditional Allides. He didn't build a coalition of the willing in advance.
And now he's coming in after the fact, telling Americans high gas prices are a small price
“to pay for defeating the Iranian threat and slamming the NATO alliance for not sending”
in ships to help open the strait of Hormuz. It's much harder to get buy-in after the fact." NPR's Tamar Keith reporting. A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from limiting reporters' access to the Pentagon. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman and Washington D.C. cited with the New York Times and ruled that the Pentagon policy illegally restricts the credentials of reporters who walked out of the building rather than agree to the
new rules last year. The international energy agency is calling the global fuel crisis the largest supply disruption ever in the global oil market, as NPR's Ruth Sherlock reports the agency says government's businesses in households should take action. The suggestions include reducing driving speeds by at least six miles per hour on highways and taking public transport or car sharing. The war between the U.S. and Israel and Iran
has disrupted oil tankers moving through the critical straight of Hormuz war to away and damaged
energy infrastructure across the Gulf. The I.E.A. says it could take months or even years to restore oil and gas flows from the region. Ruth Sherlock and Pionis. The Department of Justice is seeking to dismiss charges against two former Louisville police officers involved in the deadly 2020 raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment. Louisville public media's Roberto Roldan reports. Joshua Jains and Kyle Meaney are facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly lying on the search warrant. The charges
were initially brought by federal prosecutors under President Joe Biden who argued that Jains and Meaney included false information in the warrant application directly leading to Taylor's death. The case is run into trouble in recent years. A federal judge has downgraded the charges against the two former officers twice and the DOJ under President Donald Trump has backed off prosecuting any of the officers involved in the raid. The lawyers representing Jains and Meaney are not opposing
the dismissal, but it still needs to be approved by the judge. For MPR News, I'm Roberto Roldan in Louisville. US stocks sank again today. The S&P 500 fell one and a half percent. This is NPR. Nearly 90,000 bottles of a children's pain reliever have been recalled due to reports of particles and other possible contaminants. The FDA says tarot, pharmaceuticals, children's ibuprofen, oral suspension was recalled after some customers reported a gel-like mass in black
particles in the product. Regulators say it's unlikely to pose a serious health risk to consumers. A new study finds that humans and animals have shared acoustic tastes and PR's neat rot has more. Animals make a lot of sounds to attract maids and scientists know that some are more effective than others. Take the Pacific Field cricket. Back home is less appealing to other crickets than this one. And it turns out, according to the new study published in the journal Science, it's more appealing
to people too. Scientists had more than 4,000 volunteers listened to pairs of calls from 16 different
“species and pick which ones they preferred. Like, do you prefer this song Sparrow?”
Or this one? And they found that overall humans agreed with the animal's preferences. Suggesting, we share a sense of beauty with the natural world. Nade Rot and PR News.
