Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Amy Held.
Chapter 2: What recent changes did President Trump announce regarding tariffs?
President Trump says he's raising temporary global tariffs from 10 to 15 percent and working on imposing others legally. This after the Supreme Court ruled he overstepped his tariff authority under emergency powers. Trump says the tariffs boost American manufacturing and reduce the trade gap. But as NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports, the ruling is a blow to his presidential power.
Tariffs have just given Trump enormous power.
Chapter 3: How did the Supreme Court ruling affect Trump's tariff authority?
He had claimed he had the ability to impose tariffs when he wanted, at what level he wanted. And as the head of an economic superpower, that gave Trump massive leverage over other countries. And he used that to make trade deals on pharmaceutical pricing, even for diplomacy. And now he doesn't necessarily have that same power anymore.
Some of the tariffs Trump had imposed under different sections of the Trade Act, including on steel, aluminum, and cars, will stay.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the tariffs on American manufacturing?

The attack on their systems was launched on Thursday, forcing the closure of 35 UMMC facilities. Those shutdowns included disrupting procedures ranging from chemotherapy to elective surgeries. Officials said it was unclear how long the system outage would last. For now, medical staff were relying on paper notes to document patient statuses, while electronic portals were down.
UMMC said it did not yet know to what extent patient information may or may not have been compromised. But they are working with law enforcement, including the FBI, to resolve the issue. Alana Wise, NPR News.
