Chapter 5: How is the Trump administration addressing trade tariffs with 60 economies?

perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon. You know, at some point I said, Bibi, we got to stop this. We got to stop it.

Chapter 7: What are the key highlights of the NBA Finals matchup this year?
China says it opposes all forms of unilateral tariffs. President Trump returned to office last year imposing levies on trade partners under an emergency law. Those were struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year. Now the Trump administration is starting to rebuild the tariff wall by initiating trade investigations under different powers to impose new levies.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning says economic and trade issues should be resolved through dialogue and consultation. That is in the works, according to China's Commerce Ministry. It said during Trump's meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping last month, both sides agreed to discuss tariff reduction. It's NPR News.
A new report from Colorado River Experts says another dry winter would bring the nation's two largest reservoirs to the brink of, quote, devastating consequences. From member station KJZZ, Alex Hager has details.
Lake Powell and Lake Mead are less than a third full. Anne Castle, one of the report's authors, says if they get much lower, water managers might have to send river water straight through to the other side of their dams and wouldn't be able to store for the future.
That undermines the value of the entirety of the Colorado River reservoir system.
Castle called on state negotiators to urgently come up with a plan to keep more water in those reservoirs by cutting back on water use instead of just adding water from other reservoirs upstream. For NPR News, I'm Alex Hager in Phoenix.
Game one of the NBA Finals tips off tonight. The Knicks facing the San Antonio Spurs. Here's NPR's Becky Sullivan.
The Finals are actually a rematch of that 1999 series between the Knicks and the Spurs. That was the first appearance in the Finals for the Tim Duncan-era Spurs, who won that one in five and went on to pick up four more titles in the years that followed. The Knicks haven't had a drop of that success.
But now, with stars Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns, they have stormed their way back to the finals with a sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The series will open in San Antonio, where the NBA's newest superstar, Victor Wimbanyama, just led the Spurs to a seven-game thriller. At 7'4", Wimby's presence on the floor has been a challenge for every offense they've faced this postseason.
