Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
On Wall Street, stocks opened mixed this morning as a trade-rift widens between the U.S.
and Canada.
“If you're Scott Horsley reports, the Dow rose around 160 points and the NASDAQ fell”
about 215 points in early trading. Both the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable are urging the U.S. and Canada to get back to the bargaining table, in hopes of de-escalating this latest trade dust up, President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on billions of dollars worth of Canadian imports over the weekend after talks collapsed late Friday.
Canada has threatened to retaliate with tariffs of its own in about two weeks, which could offer a window for renewed negotiation. Investors will get an update on inflation and consumer spending later this week, the Commerce
Department's price gauge, which is closely watched by the Federal Reserve, is expected to
show that annual inflation cooled slightly last month, though prices are still climbing faster than the central bank would like. Scott Horsley, in Piano, is Washington.
“Iran says it will punish regional countries if they cooperate with President Trump's new”
economic sanctions that are set to be announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant today. This is Iran's economy is already in free fall from existing U.S. sanctions. Trump says the U.S. will punish countries that help Iran avoid sanctions. If here's a deal of Shalchi reports, Iran's new security chief says on state TV that
Iran would retaliate in quota seismic manner to Trump's plans. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baha'i, called the expected sanctions a form of economic terrorism to punish Iran. Iranian security chief, Mohsen Reza'i, said that any country partnering in these new economic restrictions would be considered an enemy, and that Iran will target their interests.
Since the beginning of the war, Iran has targeted U.S. installations in Jordan and Gulf countries with drones and missiles.
“Iran would attack oil tankers leaving through the Persian Gulf through alternative routes.”
He added that, quote, "not even a single drop of oil will leave the region." He'd deal Al-Shalchi and PR news, Istanbul. And PR has gotten rare insight into how some members of the National Guard are feeling about President Trump's ongoing deployment to Washington, D.C., where thousands of armed, uniformed troops had been patrolling for more than a year.
I will say very frankly that the bad taste that this mission left in my mouth, it actually embarrasses me to be involved in any way. On another side, quote, "it feels like the guard is being exploited." The White House responded by reiterating how safety-see is now, without providing evidence the guard has decreased crime.
Katwansrov and PR News, Washington. You're listening to NPR News. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is in Kiev today, meeting Ukrainian President Zelensky and co-chairing a meeting with international leaders.
His visit coincides with Ukraine's Independence Day and Marxist first oversees trip since
taking office. Other European leaders, including European Council President Antonio Costa, are also in Kiev. Burnham's office says the UK government has agreed to allow defense company MBDA to release classified information about British components used in this scalp missile, which could
move along plans for local production in Ukraine. Scientists say people who participate in high intensity interval training, also known as H-I-I-T, may reap certain benefits that aren't seen with other forms of aerobic exercise. That's according to research published this month by a team of researchers at Rockefeller University and appears will stone reports.
The study shows high intensity training provokes a robust response throughout the bloodstream. Those in the study completed either six all-out sprints on the bike for 30 seconds with a few minutes rest, or a moderate-paced ride for 90 minutes. There were many more changes in proteins and other molecules in the high intensity group. The researchers then compared some of those changes to a large database from the UK and
found they were associated with better cardiovascular and metabolic health. However, they emphasize the results come from young, healthy adults and need to be confirmed in different populations. They say it does not prove high intensity is necessarily better. Will stone and PR news.
