News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. The U.S. military confirms it's attacked Iran in response to a drone attack on a ship that President Trump says violated its ceasefire.
I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday. Actually, four. We knocked down three at a ship. Not an allied ship, but a ship, a very expensive ship. And It was fine, but it took a little beating. They shouldn't be doing that.
Bahrain says Iran fired back this morning with another drone attack. The U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet is stationed there. Oil prices held steady to end the week, with Brent crude closing at $72 a barrel Friday, despite renewed attacks in the Middle East. Oman also told European officials there's no way of going back to the pre-war status quo with the Strait of Hormuz, and transiting ships may have to pay fees. The U.S., Europe and Oman's Gulf Arab neighbors are increasingly concerned that it's setting up a toll system with Iran, but Oman claims those fees would be used to depollute the waterway. The race to rescue survivors of two earthquakes continues today in Venezuela, where more than 900 people have now died.
And international relief is underway. Katie Sussman is the Latin American deputy regional director at the International Rescue Committee.
Right now, we know that people need shelter, food, medical supplies. And we also know that the numbers are only a small part of the story.
On top of that climbing death toll, about 3,000 people were injured in the quakes.
What happened in the US-Iran exchange after the reported drone attack on a ship?
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power says the Trump administration's move to close USAID helped enable the Ebola virus that's still spreading through Congo and Uganda. But she says the government's decision to leave the World Health Organization and slash its emergency response funding also impacted efforts to curb the spread. Meantime, California Congressman Ro Khanna is firing back at Elon Musk, who's threatening to sue over Khanna's criticism of USAID cuts made by Musk while leading Doge.
I'm more concerned that the world's richest person possibly sentenced the poorest people in the world to their death.
Khanna on MSNOW. He was citing a Lancet study that said dismantling USAID could lead to millions of deaths. This week's Supreme Court decision on immigration could have a ripple effect on the U.S. workforce.
How did President Trump and officials describe the strike and its targets?
Bloomberg's Nathan Hager has that story from Washington.
It could send hundreds of thousands of previously legal migrants into a shadow workforce working off the books in jobs that don't match their skill set. The Supreme Court gave the green light to strip temporary protected status for more than 350,000 Haitian and Syrian migrants. The advocacy group Forward.us says if more immigrants lose their protections, it could mean up to $175 billion a year in lost economic impact. Nathan Hager, Bloomberg Radio.
Anthropic's been cleared to restore some access to its powerful Mythos AI model. Bloomberg's Ed Kalecki has details.
It happened after resolving Trump administration concerns about the technology's potential threats to national security. The clearance eases a confrontation that erupted two weeks ago when the government abruptly banned Anthropic from giving foreign nationals access to Mythos 5 and a related model, Fable 5, over fears that security guardrails could be circumvented. The order prompted the company to disable all global access to the two advanced systems and touched off intensive talks toward a resolution.
