What did President Trump say about Iran's 'present' related to oil and gas?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump says that Iran, quote, gave us a present that is worth a tremendous amount of money. Trump said he wouldn't reveal what the present is, but said it is related to the flow of oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said, quote, it showed me that we're dealing with the right people.
He also claimed for the second day in a row that Iran had agreed to stop pursuing nuclear weapons.
What I said yesterday was exactly correct. We're in negotiations right now. They're doing it along with Marco, J.D. We have a number of people doing it. And the other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal. And who wouldn't if you were there?
Iran has denied negotiating with the U.S. The commander of the 82nd Airborne Division and members of his headquarters staff will deploy to the Middle East as the White House and Pentagon weigh sending troops from the division. That's according to an official not authorized to speak publicly.
President Trump has said he's not putting boots on the ground in the conflict, but has continued to send more troops to the region. Thousands of Marines are expected to arrive in the Middle East later this week. A jury in New Mexico has found that Facebook parent company Meta failed to warn users about the dangers of its platforms to children. NPR's Shannon Bond reports.
New Mexico's attorney general sued Meta in 2023, alleging it created a, quote, breeding ground for child predators on its apps, including Instagram and Facebook. Following a nearly seven-week trial, jurors agreed with the state. They found Meta violated New Mexico's consumer protection law by hiding what it knew about risks to children's safety and mental health.
The jury ordered the company to pay $375 million in penalties based on thousands of violations. Meta says it works hard to keep people safe on its platforms. The company plans to appeal the verdict. Shannon Bond, NPR News.
There are more older drivers on the road in the U.S. than ever before. NPR's Joel Rose reports 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. Jacqueline Hamilton struggled to convince her 94-year-old father to stop driving and finally took matters into her own hands.
