The Trump administration has brought its plan to restrict birthright citizenship to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to scale back lower court orders, blocking the president's decree of denying citizenship to children born in the US to parents without legal residency.
Although the case is in preliminary stages, the emergency request will force the justices to weigh in on one of the most aggressive moves made by the new administration. The 14th Amendment provides, quote, all persons born or naturalised in the US and subject of the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.
In an Inauguration Day order, Trump asserted that children born to people lacking permanent residency aren't subject to US jurisdiction and therefore don't hold citizenship, essentially arguing that the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment is mistaken. Turning to markets now, and gold rallied overnight to reach a record high of $3,000 a troy ounce for the first time ever.
Prices for gold have been rising sharply over the past year, with the yellow metal having already surpassed the 2025 price target set by many Wall Street forecasters. Journal Europe finance editor Alex Frangos says there's a few things driving gold higher.
And the flight to safety could have further to run amid stock market volatility. Yesterday, the S&P 500 fell into correction territory, having declined more than 10% from its record high on February 19th. In the fashion industry, few people are as synonymous with a brand as Donatella Versace.
But now, Versace's long-time creative director has stepped down, following tensions between the Italian designer and the US corporate chief. John Idol's ideas to pump up sales by appealing to a wider audience often clashed with those of Donatella, who as creative director has defined the brand's looks, featuring bright colours and bold prints, since her brother's murder in 1997.
The change comes amid a decline in Versace's sales, and as people familiar with the situation tell us, Idol is exploring a potential sale to Italian rival Prada. Coming up, with America's commitment to NATO falling on shaky ground, does Europe's military have what it takes to fight Russian forces without US support? That story after the break.
With America's commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization suddenly in doubt, Europe is having to consider the once unthinkable. Could its armies fight Moscow's forces without US support? Journal Brussels Bureau Chief Dan Michaels has been speaking to top American military brass and officials who've served across the Atlantic, and they say Europe would pack a strong punch.
Dan, you've been looking at Europe's military capabilities. How do they stack up against Russia's at the moment?
So if these numbers are looking in Europe's favour, why is the absence of the US such a concern to European leaders?
So given all that, what are European leaders doing to fill this gap?
So not exactly the relative time of peace that Europe has been enjoying over the last 30 years. Dan, thank you for breaking this down for us.
And while Europe may be learning to go it alone, the US is actually turning to Ukraine for help building better drones. Since the start of the war, Ukrainian forces have been relying on increasingly sophisticated drones to battle Russia's army. And despite limited resources, drone makers in Ukraine have found a way to mass produce them.
That's piqued the interest of US start-ups who are spending billions of venture capital dollars to develop small drones that the Pentagon says it needs for future conflicts. But most of them don't fly well. Here's tech reporter Heather Somerville.
And you can hear more about how Silicon Valley is tapping into the know-how of Ukraine's well-trained drone makers over on our Tech News Briefing podcast. And that's it for What's News for this Friday morning. Today's show was produced by Daniel Bark with supervising producer Sandra Kilhoff. And I'm Kate Bullivant for The Wall Street Journal, filling in for Luke Vargas.
We'll be back tonight with a new show. Until then, have a great weekend and thanks for listening.

Democrats signal they will block a Republican plan to avert a government shutdown this weekend. Plus, US and Canadian officials meet today in a bid to tamp down the trade war between the two allies. And we look at China's efforts to cement power across Asia by exhausting its opponents with a thousand cuts.
It's Thursday, March 13th. I'm Kate Bullivan for The Wall Street Journal, filling in for Luke Vargas. And here is the AM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories moving your world today. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said Democrats won't back a Republican plan to fund federal agencies through September, setting up a potential government shutdown this week.
The Republican-controlled House left town after it approved the resolution on Tuesday, effectively giving the Senate no time to revise the bill. but to simply pass it or reject it by Friday's midnight deadline. Speaking in the Senate, Schumer floated a shorter-term plan that would fund the government for a month.
On Fox News, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Democrats could cast a vote to keep the government open or take the blame for shutting it down. President Trump's trade team will meet with Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Ontario Premier Doug Ford in Washington today amid the escalating trade war between the longtime allies.
