Live from NPR News, I'm Jail Snyder, President Trump says Chinese leader Xi J...
to withholding military equipment from Iran.
“He said he's not going to give military equipment.”
That's a big statement. He said that today. That's a big statement. He said that strongly, but at the same time, he said, you know, they buy a lot of their oil there and it's like to keep doing that.
He'd like to see or most straight opened. I said, well, we didn't stop it. They did it. Then we stopped them. You know, sort of interesting.
He joke. He said, you know, sort of if they stopped it, then you stopped them, but they'd like to see it open. President Trump's speaking to Fox News, China has repeatedly said it is not providing Iran with weapons, but the New York Times is reporting that Chinese companies have considered
“sending weapons through other countries.”
On the straighter foremows, the White House says Trump and she have agreed on the need for it to be reopened. Trump now aboard Air Force One for the trip back to Washington, D.C. President Trump left Beijing as tensions rise near the straighter foremows. A ship anchored off the United Arab Emirates was seized Thursday and taken toward Iran, and
another was attacked and sank near the coast of Oman. The straight seas roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply passed through it. Democrats continued to force votes to end the war with Iran, the latest effort in the House failed Thursday with the narrowest possible margins of tie. The Constitution gives Congress the power to authorize military conflicts, and the war
power's resolution of 1973 gives the president's 60 days to obtain congressional approval for military action. The Iran War has now exceeded that threshold, though the White House claims that given the ongoing ceasefire, congressional action is moot. Increasingly, Republicans disagree, three, Thomas Massey, Tom Barrett, and Brian Fitzpatrick
“joined virtually all Democrats in this vote to end the conflict.”
In a similarly unsuccessful vote Wednesday in the Senate, three Republicans voted with most Democrats. The war remains unpopular with the American public, as it continues to drive up the cost of living, Eric McDaniel, and Pierre News, the capital. In a brief order Thursday evening, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily overruled a lower
court order that had blocked Mithra Priston, known informally as the abortion pill from being sent through the mail anywhere in the country. Here's more from MNPR's Nina Tottenberg. The High Court reversed a decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which had blocked doctors from sending the pill to women who were seeking to end their pregnancies in the
first trimester, even in states that have banned abortion.
The FDA has since 2000 found the drug to be safe and effective. The Supreme Court's action blocking the lower court is only in place until the case is fully litigated in those courts, and potentially the Supreme Court. But that is likely to take many months, conservative Justices, Thomas, and Alito, dissented.

Jerry deliberations are expected to begin Monday, and the landmark trial that could shape the future of artificial intelligence in Oakland, California lawyers for Elon Musk and open AI made their closing arguments Thursday, Musk's lawsuit filed in 2024, accuses
open AI CEO, Sam Altman, and his top deputy of shifting from a nonprofit status into a money-making mode behind his back. Schools across the U.S. awaiting new federal nutrition standards that could change how they prepare food for students, USDA updating its rules, based on the Trump administration's new national dietary guidelines, as NPR show Hernandez reports.
Those guidelines announced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and other top Trump officials, Urge Americans, to avoid highly processed foods and prioritize protein at every meal. Yet school cafeterias often rely on pre-made food to feed students, and protein is usually a district's most expensive ingredient. School nutrition directors say the new standards will have to account for the fact that
many districts are already working with tight budgets. The USDA has not yet released the new standards, and when they do, they'll be subject to a public comment period. The National School Lunch Program fed some 30 million children last year. Joe Hernandez and PR news.
