What significant announcement did President Trump make regarding Iran?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump says Iran has just given the U.S. a big present. Trump says it's related to the Strait of Hormuz, as NPR's Franco Ordonez reports.
Trump teased that this latest development is worth a tremendous amount of money.
I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me would deal with the right people.
Trump said it wasn't nuclear related, but oil and gas related and tied to the Strait of Hormuz. But he would not get into specifics. Trump has said the U.S. is in productive negotiations with Iran to end the war. Iran has denied conducting negotiations with the U.S., Franco, Ordonez, NPR News, the White House.
The military is preparing to call up members of the 82nd Airborne Division. A U.S. official has confirmed to NPR that the Pentagon has ordered some 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd to deploy to the Middle East, two Marine Expeditionary Units already sailing toward the Persian Gulf. National Transportation Safety Board says the vehicle involved in a collision with a plane landing at LaGuardia Airport did not have equipment to show its location. Two pilots killed in the crash, dozens injured, Steve Kestenbaum reports.
Investigators zeroed in on what the people in LaGuardia's control tower could see on their screens before the crash.
ASDX is a runway safety system which allows air traffic controllers to track surface movement of aircraft and vehicles.
But NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the controllers couldn't see information about the fire truck's exact location.
So in this case, that vehicle did not have a transponder.
It's not clear whether different controllers were talking to the pilot and the driver of the fire truck Sunday night.
There were two people in the cab, two people in the tower cab.
Investigators are set to interview the controllers soon. For NPR News, I'm Steve Kastenbaum in New York.
A jury in New Mexico has found that social media giant Meta misled consumers. From member station KUNM in Albuquerque, Taylor Velasquez has more.
The owner of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp is now on the hook for $375 million in civil penalties for violating New Mexico's consumer protection laws. New Mexico's Attorney General Raul Torres calls the verdict a historic win, making the state the first to hold a tech company liable for harming young people. Torres says Meta knew its platforms posed risks to children, ignored internal warnings, and misled the public. Meta says it will appeal. Either way, the state's case is not over. It's also asking the company to be required to change its business practices, for example, by implementing stronger age verification and removing predators from its platform. For NPR News, I'm Taylor Velazquez in Albuquerque.
And you're listening to NPR News. Democrats are celebrating a special election victory in Florida. Voters in a legislative district that's home to President Trump's Mar-a-Lago have chosen Emily Gregory to fill a state House seat. The president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee says the seat is the 29th that Democrats have flipped since Trump returned to the White House. Missouri Supreme Court has upheld the state's congressional map aimed at adding another Republican to Congress in the November midterm election. The 4-3 decision is a legal victory for President Trump in the nationwide redistricting battle, but it may not be the final word. Opponents have submitted more than 300,000 petition signatures in an attempt to put the new map to a statewide vote.
There are more older drivers on the road in the U.S. than ever before. NPR's Joel Rose reports that many families face hard choices about when it's time for aging loved ones
to stop driving. States have policies that are supposed to stop risky drivers from renewing their licenses. But in practice, it often falls to adult children to decide when it's time to take the car keys away from an aging parent.
