Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Bartman.
As President Trump heads to Beijing today to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, a new
NPR Chicago Council Ipsos poll, finds most Americans think U.S. tariffs have been bad for both economies and driven up consumer costs here NPR's Frank Lankfit reports. At least to God you are as a physical therapist and greater Chicago, which he bought a Chinese made board game. She knows tariffs added up to $20 to the price.
“I think the tariffs are bad, making a worse deal for a country's trade does not mean”
we'll get more stuff out of it. David Morgan lives in North Carolina and supports tariffs, low-age competition from China's sank is furniture company. Business dried up, we don't have the orders, we file chapter 11 and so long for a lot of more stuff.
The poll shows most Americans see a potential solution.
Cut tariffs on China and exchange for China buying more U.S. agricultural goods. The Missouri Supreme Court ruled that a map aimed at netting another seat for Republicans is, in effect, as St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum reports the decision is yet another blow for Democrats in a mid-decade redistricting scramble set off by President Trump.
Missouri lawmakers passed a map last year that seeks to convert Democratic representative Emmanuel Clevers Kansas City-based district into a GOP-leaning seat.
“The two voters sued, contending that the submission of referendum signatures prevented”
that map from going into effect. But the Missouri Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the new map is in effect until Missouri
Secretary of State verifies it has enough signatures.
That might not happen until a few days before the state's primary and that may be too late into the election process to switch to a map that's more favorable to Clever. The court's decision comes as states like Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee are eliminating heavily democratic majority minority seats, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision weakening the voting rights act.

The Eurovision Song Contest Launch today in Vienna, Austria and PR's Chloe Velpin reports geopolitical riffs are casting a shadow over the annual international singing extravaganza now in its 70th year. The 2026 Eurovision entry from Israel performed by Noam Beton, his sung in three languages English, Hebrew and French, to both reflect the artist's multilingual background and potentially
increase the song's international appeal. But five countries, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain pulled out after organizers decided to allow Israel to compete. Pro-Palestinian protests at the last two contests called for Israel to be disbarred over the war in Gaza, as well as allegations that attempted to manipulate voting to favor
