Trump said countries that receive oil to the state of our moves should take action
to secure the passage. I have a suggestion.
“Number one, by oil from the United States of America, we have plenty.”
We have so much. And number two, build up some delayed courage. Should it done it before? Should it done it with us, as we ask? Go to the state and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves.
Trump also blamed Iran's virtual shutdown of the state of our moves for the prices Americans are paying at the pump and said the waterway will reopen naturally when the conflict ends because of the oil trade. Oil prices rose above $105 a barrel following Trump's speech and the financial markets
in Asia losing ground following Wednesday's gains on Wall Street.
In his own address to the nation Wednesday, British Prime Minister, Kira Starmer, said that the UK will host a meeting with other nations to discuss the straight-of-hore moves and meeting among 35 countries as to be heard to be held virtually later today. The skyrocketing cost of fuel starting to hurt New England fishermen from motion state media, David Wright reports.
“At the fishing ports of Rhode Island, the price of dockside diesel fuel jumped nearly 50%”
last month. It's now 575 a gallon. If it climbs much higher, sea captains like Patrick Duckworth say it may soon become too expensive to fish. Price of fish doesn't come out, price of fuel don't go down, and you're going to see
over this harbor full of awesome along. Meaning they won't be going out on the water. Yep, won't be going on the water, and last morning, probably a lot of people I won't have jobs. The seafood processors say it's a double whammy, not only to hire fuel prices cut into
the fisherman's pockets, they also hit harder for truckers who transport the fish where it needs to go. For NPR News, I'm David Wright in Narragansit, Rhode Island. Now to Capitol Hill where Republican leaders in Congress say they have a plan to fund the
“Department of Homeland Security after a month-long funding lapse.”
It's not immediately clear that what comes next impures Eric McDaniel has more. Now speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Dunn, jointly announced their funding plan. They say it includes customs and border protection and immigration and customs enforcement, also known as CBP and ICE.
Democrats have been blocking funding for immigration enforcement in a push for reforms, such as body-worn cameras and a ban on masks. After federal officers killed two American citizens in Minnesota. The GOP leaders say they'll use a budget process known as reconciliation to avoid the need for democratic support in the Senate, which typically has a 60 vote threshold to pass
this kind of legislation. If successful, they're planned with funds DHS for three years, passed the end of Trump's time in the White House. Eric McDaniel and Pianu is Washington. The Supreme Court seems poised to reject the limits president Trump is trying to...
This is NPR News. The U.S. Supreme Court seems poised to reject the limits president Trump is trying to oppose on birthright citizenship. The Justice is on Wednesday heard his administration's appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down Trump's executive order that went in citizenship for babies born to people
who are in the country illegally or here to work or visit on a temporary basis. Trump himself was in the courtroom spending just over an hour staying only for arguments by the government's lawyer. The FDA approved another obesity pill Wednesday. This one from drug maker Eli Lilly, MPR Sydney Lupkin reports.
Eli Lilly's new pill is called "Fandale." Although this is the same company behind ZeptBound, the blockbuster injectable obesity medicine, Eli Lilly decided not to take ZeptBound's main ingredient and make it in pill form. Instead, the company developed a new ingredient, or for Glippron.
Daniel Skavronsky, the company's chief scientific and medical officer says until now, all of these GOP-1 drugs have been peptides, meaning they need to be taken as injections or as a pill with restrictions. Our goal here was to make something as simple as possible, that means we had to rely on more complicated science.
Lilly hasn't announced a list, but it says people with commercial insurance could pay as little as $25 a month. City Lupkin and Pair News.
Following President Trump's first address to the nation since the start of the Iran War,
oil prices are climbing, Brent Crew, the international standard, has added more than 6% Asian stocks or lower following Wednesday's gains on Wall Street. I'm Giles Snyder, this is MPR News.
