“the long-deployed carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been at sea continuously for more”
than 250 days. It will soon be replaced by another ship, the USS George Washington, which is heading to the Middle East. President Trump dismissed concerns last week saying the deployment hadn't gone on long enough. Earl and Governor Westmore served in the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan.
I would have hoped that since he's never been forward deployed, since he's never put
on the uniform and sacrifice for this country, that he would have more compassion for the people who are willing to, that he would have more compassion for their family members, who are willing to offer their loved ones to this country because they love this country so much. Speaking there on CNN's State of the Union, meanwhile, U.S. federal command Admiral Brad Cooper
is acknowledging the mental health challenges on that ship after visiting the USS Lincoln yesterday. But he says there are fewer cases than on other ships.

in Washington over the weekend, signaling the intensity of the talks over the next few days, sticking points remain. The ban by most provinces on American liquor products, Canada's dairy quota system, and Canadian counter-terrorists on U.S. autos. For its part, Canada wants to head off the additional 50% terrorist president Trump has threatened
which are to kick in on Wednesday. It also wants tariffs lowered or eliminated on steel and aluminum, autos, and forestry products. If the talks fail and tariffs are imposed, Canada says it will retaliate. U.S. trade representative Jamison Greer says Washington will not tolerate any retaliatory
measures. For NPR News, I'm Dan Carpenterak in Toronto. In Hawaii, Hurricane Lala has been downgraded to a tropical storm leaving one person dead.

U.S. future's contracts are trading higher at this hour, listening to NPR News. Social media is filled with messages promoting testosterone therapy, and the Pentagon recently said it will be screening service members for low levels. NPRs will stone reports, doctors say many of the online claims about testosterone don't accurately reflect who really needs the treatment.
The symptoms of testosterone deficiency include depressed mood, fatigue, reduced libita, weight gain, and trouble concentrating. Medical guidelines specify that a man should also have two tests showing low levels over time before starting treatment. Dr. Helen Burnie, a urologist at Indiana University, says some online marketing around testosterone
goes way beyond the evidence. "It's not some drug to promise peak performance, this fountain of youth or this longevity." testosterone declines with age, though Burnie says in younger and middle-aged men, it often relates to obesity, diabetes, sleep apnea, and other medical conditions. The Trump administration is taking steps that could make it easier to prescribe the drug
to men with testosterone deficiency. Will Stone and PR News At the weekend box office, Spider-Man, brand new day, took the top spot once again, with an estimated $70 million in ticket sales. Globally, the film has already passed $2 billion.
