Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
The White House's President Trump will address the country tonight about the U.S. and
Israeli war in Iran.
“President Trump has appeared to reverse himself, he originally said he wanted Iran's”
unconditional surrender. Yesterday, Trump said he's now ready to end the war. "I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three. We're hitting a very hard last night. We knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities."
But a short time ago, President Trump wrote online, he is now claiming that Iran's new leader has just asked the U.S. for a ceasefire. Trump says the U.S. will consider that when the war moves straight as reopened. Trump says until then, the U.S. is "blasting Iran into oblivion." Just yesterday, Trump said the straight was a problem for France, or for other countries,
not for the U.S. Iran's officials have said they are not in negotiations with the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments this morning, in a case testing President Trump's efforts to make it more difficult for children born in the U.S. to become citizens.
“And B.R.'s Nina Totenberg reports on the case over the 14th Amendment and birthright”
citizenship. "Even in periods of great hostility to immigrants, the notion of birthright citizenship has remained so entrenched that during World War II, when Japanese enemy aliens were imprisoned in U.S. detention camps, their newborn children were automatically granted American citizenship. President Trump, however, has long maintained that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution
does not confer automatic citizenship.
And so on day one of his second presidential term, he issued an executive order that bars
citizenship for babies born to parents who enter the country illegally, or who are here legally while they live and work on temporary visas. To date, every judge, to have ruled in the case, has barred Trump's order from going into effect. Now the Supreme Court will decide. Nina Totenberg and PR News, Washington.
"Election officials say they'll challenge President Trump's decision to have the federal
“government take a role in male in ballots, Trump signed an executive order yesterday, but”
empires Ashley Lopez reports the Constitution says only state and local governments can run elections." President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that seeks to create a list of U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state. The order also instructs the U.S. Postal Service to administer and track male and ballots
nationwide, which is currently done by local officials. Legal experts and state election officials are calling this effort an overreach. Trump says it's an effort to reduce voter fraud, even though it remains a rare occurrence in American elections. State officials and Arizona, Nevada and Oregon promptly announced they plan to fight the order
in court and stop it from going into effect. Trump's last order related to elections is currently blocked by court orders. Ashley Lopez and PR News. "On Wall Street in pre-market trading, Dow Futures are higher. This is NPR."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegg-Seth has lifted the suspensions of two U.S. Army pilots. They had hovered two helicopters near the House of Musician and President Trump ally, Kid Rock, the musician had shared videos of the helicopters as one hovered near his pool in Tennessee and he saluted. The military had suspended the pilots for an investigation, but Hegg-Seth wrote on social
media, quote, "carry on patriots." For astronauts could launch today on a mission to fly around the moon, it's a big moment for NASA. As NPR's no Greenfield Boys reports, no one has ventured out to the moon since the 1970s. NASA test director Jeff Spalding told reporters that launch preparations have been going
well at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Someone asked him about the fact that it's April Fool's Day, because there's a long history of astronauts playing practical jokes. "So I am not aware of any any pranks that anybody intends to pull on the flight crew or in the launch team itself.
So I think I'll just leave it at that." He said he hoped everyone would stay focused on the launch. It will happen no earlier than 624 p.m. Eastern time. If bad weather or a technical glitch forces a delay, there should be additional launch opportunities through April 6th.
Now Greenfield Boys and PR needs.
It is the first day of April, but the National Weather Service has posted winter storm
warnings and advisories for some of the northern planes and great lakes states. There's a nice storm warning for central and northern Wisconsin today. Comfort of a Coleman and PR News in Washington.
