What is the latest on Russia's war in Ukraine and the US's diplomatic push?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. President Trump says Russia has fifty days to reach an agreement on ending its war with Ukraine. The US is also promising Kyiv Patriot Air Defense Missile Systems to be transferred through a sail to NATO countries. Президен Зеленський says Ukraine is grateful for the support.
We are thankful to President Trump for his old messages and very strong uh decisions about uh resuming uh delivers uh for us and we are thankful for bipartisan support.
A Kremlin spokesperson says Russian officials need time to analyze Trump's most recent statements. Silicon Valley giant Nvidia says the Trump administration has reversed a ban on chip sales to China. As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, the company for months has been lobbying the White House to loosen the restrictions.
NVIDIA can resume selling a cutting edge artificial intelligence chip known as the H twenty to China, according to the company. When the Trump administration announced it would block NVIDIA from selling the chips to China in April, executives said it would cost them billions of dollars.
How is Nvidia's reversal of the China chip ban affecting its market valuation?
That did not slow NVIDIA's skyrocketing growth. Last week it became the first public company to be worth $4 trillion, reaching the milestone before other tech giants like Apple and Amazon. The White House Allowing NVIDIA to sell advanced chips to China again will only further boost the company. Officials in Washington have feared China could use U.S. chips to develop supercomputers and weapons, but NVIDIA has argued losing access to the Chinese market could give competitors in China like Huawei more of a foothold globally. Bobby Allen of PR News.
President Trump says education secretary Linda McMahon will now begin dismantling the agency. The Supreme Court cleared the way yesterday for the administration to move forward with mass layoffs of nearly fourteen hundred people for now. The court's majority didn't explain its reasoning for the stay of a lower court ruling.
Why are states suing the Trump administration over frozen education grants?
The case is still moving through the courts. Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration. NPR's Sequoia Carrillo reports they're calling on the White House to release billions in frozen education funding.
California, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island lead a coalition of states from across the country in a lawsuit asking for the release of more than $6 billion in federal education grants. In the rapid lead up to the school year, many school districts are in limbo without the previously approved funds to round out budgets. The six grant programs under review help fund English language programs, provide resources for Students and support after school programs. The largest pot of money affected is for teacher professional development. The Education Department did not respond to a request for comment and gave no timeline on their review of the programs.

What is the new HIV prevention injection and how might US aid cuts impact its rollout?
This is NPR News.
The World Health Organization is giving its green light for a new drug to prevent AIDS, but NPR's Jonathan Lambert reports that US foreign aid cuts could reduce supply.
Right now, HIV prevention drugs come mostly in the form of daily pills. While those are highly effective, sticking to a daily schedule can be a challenge for a lot of people. The new twice a year injection is called lenacabavir, and it could be much easier to take. The WHO says it represents the next best thing to an HIV vaccine. WHO's official recommendation should prompt countries around the world to approve the drug, as the US FDA did last month, but US funding makes up a sizable chunk of global HIV prevention spending, and public health experts worry that steep cuts by the Trump administration could limit Lena Kapavier's reach. Jonathan Lambert, NPR News.
