Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman.
Chapter 2: What did President Trump announce about the war with Iran?
President Trump gave the first address to the nation last night since launching the war against Iran. He says the U.S. should conclude its operation in about two to three weeks, but he offered no specifics about Iran's nuclear material. It's believed Iran has about 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium. And NPR's Greg Myrie says it's not fully clear where it's stored.
Chapter 3: How are oil markets reacting to the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz?
We've had no information, and we've heard from the head of the UN's Atomic Energy Agency, who they saw that more than a year ago. They don't know where that is, but not clear how the U.S. plans to get that material, if Iran might make a deal on it. So still, as much as he talked about the fact that Iran shouldn't get a nuclear weapon ever, he didn't say how the U.S. would be able to guarantee it.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Supreme Court's stance on birthright citizenship?
NPR's Greg Myhre reporting. Oil markets have not been calmed by the president's address. Benchmark crude oil prices have risen to more than $108 a barrel. In his remarks, President Trump said the U.S. does not need oil from the Strait of Hormuz. He said that it will open up naturally after the conflict is over.
Chapter 5: What recent changes have occurred in U.S. relations with Venezuela?
But earlier yesterday, Trump threatened Iran if the Strait was not reopened. NPR's Camilla Dominovsky reports markets are volatile.
How long traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted is a crucial question for oil markets.
Chapter 6: What new obesity medication has the FDA approved?
Al Salazar is with the energy data company Inveris, and based on their models... We found that for basically every month that this, you know, varies in terms of our Hormuz closure. There's about a $10 to $15 move in our forecast.
That's per barrel. Camilla Dominovsky, NPR News.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom is hosting a meeting today virtually with almost three dozen countries about the Strait of Hormuz.
Chapter 7: What is the status of NASA's Artemis II lunar mission?
British leaders say they will talk about viable diplomatic and political ways to reopen the strait. The United States is not participating. A majority of Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical about the Trump administration's effort to limit birthright citizenship. That includes some justices nominated by President Trump.
But NPR's Kerry Johnson reports the outcome of the case remains far from certain.
President Trump issued an executive order on day one that would end citizenship to babies born to people who are in the country illegally or here to work or visit on a temporary basis. If the Supreme Court agrees, that order could affect 250,000 babies born in the U.S. each year and potentially be used to help revoke the citizenship of many others born earlier.
Trump attended for the Solicitor General's arguments but left as Attorney Cecilia Wong made her case. for people challenging his order. Wong told the justices to agree with the president would radically rewrite the Constitution and upend more than 150 years of settled law. A decision is expected near the end of the Supreme Court term this summer. Carrie Johnson, NPR News.
You're listening to NPR News from Washington. The U.S. has lifted sanctions on Venezuela's acting leader, Delce Rodriguez. The Trump administration recognized her as the country's lawful leader, after U.S. troops captured former President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. to face U.S. drug charges. Rodriguez was first sanctioned by the U.S. for undermining democracy.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved another obesity pill. NPR's Sydney Lepkin reports this one is from pharmaceutical maker Eli Lilly.
Eli Lilly's new pill is called Fundeo. Although this is the same company behind Zetbound, the blockbuster injectable obesity medicine, Eli Lilly decided not to take Zetbound's main ingredient and make it in pill form. Instead, the company developed a new ingredient, Orfaglipron.
Daniel Skowronski, the company's chief scientific and medical officer, says until now, all of these GLP-1 drugs have been peptides, meaning they need to be taken as injections or as a pill with restrictions.
Our goal here was to make something as simple as possible. That means we had to rely on more complicated science.
