"Ly, from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh.
President Trump says the U.S. is in serious discussions to end the war in Iran.
He claims progress has been made.
“He also says if the economically vital straight of our moves does not open for a business”
immediately, more attacks will come. Here's then, "Pierce the Peshivaram." Trump posted on social media that a deal with Iran will probably be reached, but if it doesn't, he says the U.S. will resume attacks on Iran, specifically on their electrical plants, oil wells, and cargo island, Trump says, "The island holds a large majority
of Iran's oil exports." He also threatened Iran's desalination plants. The President had previously said that Iran had until April 6 to open the street. The White House did not respond to request for comment on whether Trump's newest post negates that initial deadline.
"Depeshivaram and Piernews the White House." Russia says its oil tanker has arrived in Cuba, which has been facing blackouts and an effective U.S. blockade.
“And Pierce Michelle Kellerman reports that the Russians say they notify the United States”
in Iran. "Gremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov says Russia has a duty to help its friends in Cuba and raise the issue of the tanker with U.S. officials ahead of time. I've seen your Trump administration official tells NPR that President Trump is allowing this ship to reach Cuba for humanitarian purposes.
These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis the official wrote in an email, adding that Cuba's economy won't be fixed until there's dramatic political change. President Trump told reporters on Sunday that he's focused on Iran right now, but in his words, "Cuba will be next." He says it doesn't bother him.
If Russia or any other countries want to send a vote of oil, Michelle Kellerman and Piernews the State Department." The U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela's formally open again.

relations after U.S. troops conducted a raid in January and sees then Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro and his wife to face drug trafficking charges in New York. Transportation Security Administration or TSA workers are supposed to be getting paid again. The explotation was paychecks with start going out today, under President Trump's emergency
order, this even though Congress has been unable to strike a deal on funding DHS and the shutdown. After weeks working without pay, Georgia-based Union Rep Air and Barcus's TSA workers deserve $10,000 bonuses for what they've been through. We've had a lot of officers that have been evicted, their cars have been repossessed.
You have the negative impacts, late fees, and all those things, those numbers pile up. So that $10,000 would assist in recouping some of the things that have negatively impacted their finances in their life. That's Union Representative Aaron Barker.

This is NPR News. More women are employed in the U.S. and men. That is according to federal data, cited by the job site, indeed. NPR's Amy Held reports it's only happened twice before. In 2026, more jobs are held by women than men.
Not because many more women are entering the workforce, says Laura Ulrich Director of Economic Research at Indeed. It's actually that male labor force participation is declining, propelled by the decline
of manufacturing in the '90s when male workers outnumbered female by 7 million.
By 2020, women outpaced men before the pandemic interrupted that trend. It's back. I don't see it turning around, partly because of a cultural perception of women's work. Healthcare is growing and about 80% female. Laura Ulrich says programs should encourage men, and employers think about retaining
women, especially those having kids. One gap, women have not closed wages. They make about 80 cents for every dollar men earn. Amy Held and PR News. The men's final four is set.
