President Trump is declaring that any deal with Iran under his administration will be far
“better for the United States than the previous Iran nuclear deal.”
In a post on social media, Trump accuses his Democratic predecessors of endangering Israel and the U.S. threats and mixed messages from both the U.S. and Iran over the weekend have complicated matters, but with a two-week ceasefire, set to expire by Wednesday. The clock is ticking. NPR's Tamarky reports a high-profile U.S. delegation is poised to travel to Islamabad
in the coming days for peace talks. Trump said in a weekend post on social media that he hopes Iran makes a deal. But if they don't, the U.S. will destroy power plants and bridges. In a post Monday morning, Trump took a more conciliatory tone, writing, "The results in Iran
will be amazing, and if Iran's new leaders are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous
future." Over the weekend, both sides traded accusations that the other had violated the terms of the ceasefire by blocking transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
“In a short phone interview with the PBS NewsHour, Trump said, "If the ceasefire expires”
"then lots of bombs start going off," Tamarkyth and PR News. Virginia voters decide to tomorrow on whether to redraw the state's congressional map. NPR's actually Lopez reports Virginia is among several states where Republicans and Democrats are using redistricting to gain a competitive edge in this November's midterm elections. "Boters are winging on a ballot measure that was put before them by Virginia's Democratic
led legislature that would essentially allow lawmakers to circumvent the state's independent redistricting commission.
They're basically asking voters for permission to redraw the state's congressional map and potentially
drop to four more seats that could favor Democrats this fall." NPR's Ashley Lopez reporting, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says, "Can it as close economic ties with the U.S. are now a weakness that must be corrected in a ten-minute video address to the nation?" Carney says, "U.S. tariffs are hurting Canadian workers and investments in Canada must respond."
NPR's Jackie Northam Prime Minister Carney's message was clear that the one strong and reliable relationship between Canada and the U.S. has changed. In his second term, President Trump has placed punishing tariffs on Canada and suggested he'd annex the country. Carney says Canada cannot rely on one foreign partner and needs to take care of itself.
"We can't control the disruption coming from our neighbors.
We can't bet our future on the hope that it will suddenly stop, but we can control."
What happens here? Carney announced a plan called Canada Strong to bring in a trillion dollars worth of investment built new trade and energy relations and double the size of the country's clean energy capacity. Jackie Northam NPR News.
"It's NPR." Japan, New Zealand and Guam are helping to search the Pacific near the North American islands for six crew members from a cargo ship, a capsized and a typhoon. The massive storm struck the U.S. territory last week. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear out Catholic pre-schools in the fall over their
exclusion from a taxpayer-funded programming Colorado. St. Mary Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Denver, Argy of the school's constitutional rights are being violated because of their faith-based restrictions on admitting LGBTQ+ families and children. Colorado says all schools are welcome to participate in the publicly funded program for
free preschool provided they do not discriminate under state law. A new analysis finds a government could lose nearly half a trillion dollars over a decade if fewer immigrants file their taxes in the wake of President Trump's immigration policies and Piers Windsor Johnson explained. The research comes from the Yale budget lab which analyzed how changes and filing behavior
could affect federal revenue. Undocumented immigrants already contribute tens of billions of dollars each year through payroll and income taxes. The director of policy analysis, Richard Prisenzano, says if fear leads to more people to stop filing or to work off the books that could shrink the number of people paying into
the system. If you're discouraging people from doing what they're supposed to do in terms of filing taxes, buy data sharing across government agencies you're hurting the baseline number. You know, in one sense, it's kind of shooting yourself in the foot. The report warns that kind of shift could erode a key source of federal revenue over time.
