Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
President Trump says he's extending a deadline for the U.S. to strike Iranian power plants
“again, as NPR's a Franco-ordonia's reports, Trump says talks with Iran are going well.”
Trump says he's giving Iran more time to reopen the state of Iran as talks with Iran continue. He made the announcement on social media writing, "I am pausing the period of energy plant destruction by 10 days. To Monday, April 6, 2026 at 8 p.m. Eastern time." At an earlier cabinet meeting, Trump's special envoy Steve Whitkoff confirmed that
the U.S. had presented Iran with what he described has a foundation of a framework for a peace plan, via Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator. While we cough said the 15-point action plan has resulted in "strong and positive messaging
and talks," Iran publicly has told Reuters that the proposal was unfair and one-sided.
Franco-ordonia's NPR news. On Wall Street, stocks had their biggest drops since the start of the war with Iran,
“as NPR's Maria Aspen reports, the Dow closed down almost 470 points or more than 1% the”
broader S&P 500 closed down nearly 1.3% and the NASDAQ fell more than 2.4%. The tech stocks in particular tumbled. The tech heavy NASDAQ is now in what's known as "correction" territory, meaning that it's fallen 10% from its October high. It was dragged down and part by a cell-off in meta-shares, after the parent company of Facebook and Instagram lost back-to-back court cases blaming meta for the harmful impact of its products on young people.
More broadly, investors are bracing for the war with Iran to continue, and to continue clouding the outlook for the U.S. economy. Oil prices again rose above $100 a barrel, fueling more worries about a worsening energy crisis heating up inflation. Maria Aspen and PR News, New York. Delta Airlines passengers traveling through its Atlanta hub will have some additional wiggle room
to rebook their flights. The policy expands on an earlier travel waiver and could provide
“some relief. Security delays continue to disrupt travel plans,”
Marlin Hyde for member station W.A.B.E. reports. Passengers flying to and from Atlanta that a book through March 30, can book new travel dates without additional fees. Rebook travel must begin by April 6. Fair differences will be waived if passengers remain in the same cabin and booking class. TSA's acting administrator said this week that the agency is experiencing the longest weight times ever because of the partial government shutdown that started last month. Delta has also
temporarily suspended specialty services from members of Congress this week, while TSA employees continue to work without pay. Friend PR News, a Marlin Hyde in Atlanta. And you're listening to NPR News from Washington. An appeals court has ruled that the U.S. can continue to detain immigrants without bond. It's a victory to the Trump administration's crackdown on a legal immigration.
It's the second appeals court to rule in favor of the administration on the issue and counters a slew of lower court decisions across the country saying the practice is unlawful. Bill Mar will continue. Will be receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American humor after all, as NPR's Elizabeth Blair reports President Trump does not appear to be a fan of Mar, but the Kennedy Center announced it's giving the prize to him anyway. After the Atlantic magazine
cited anonymous sources saying that Bill Mar would be receiving the prestigious Mark Twain Prize White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called it fake news. But the Kennedy Center has announced Mar will indeed be getting the Twain Award. The host of HBO's real-time with Bill Mar has visited with Trump at the White House,
but he has also been critical of both parties and Trump in particular.
The stock market is going down and I'm request a lot of jobs. It's like it's even more evil twin replaced his usual evil twin. Trump recently called Mar a lightweight on social media and a statement from the Kennedy Center more said it is indeed humbling to get anything named for a man who's been thrown out of as many school libraries as Mark Twain.
