Why does Donald Trump want to host the G20 summit at his Miami resort?
Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Dwahlisa Kautel. President Donald Trump wants to host next year's G20 Summit of World Leaders at a resort he owns in Miami. NPR's Tamara Keith reports that when he tried to do something like this in his first term, it generated so much controversy Trump changed course.
Trump says everyone wants the G20 summit to be held at his Florida golf resort because the location is perfect.
They'll have their own buildings. It'll be incredible for them. And being like 10 minutes, less than 10 minutes from the airport. And it's a big airport, international. All of the planes will be able to land, go right into there.
What is the HHS report claiming about Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism?
Trump insists he will make no money on it. During his first term, even Republicans pushed back on the prospect that Trump could personally profit as countries paid for lodging at an international summit. As for this year's G20 in South Africa, Trump confirmed he isn't going and is sending the vice president in his place. Tamara Keith, NPR News, the White House.
The Department of Health and Human Services is responding to news that it plans to cite use of Tylenol by pregnant women as having links to autism, even though scientific research does not back up that claim. NPR's Yuki Noguchi explains.
An upcoming report will suggest acetaminophen, known to many as Tylenol, is linked to autism and that folic acid, a vitamin, could prevent it, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal. When asked about the upcoming report, a spokesperson for the HHS said, quote, until we release the final report, any claims about its contents are nothing more than speculation, end quote. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the controversial head of HHS,
Why is unemployment rising among Black workers, especially women, in the U.S.?
has repeated falsehoods about the causes of autism. The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine says acetaminophen is safe for pregnant women and that untreated pain and fever in pregnancy can be dangerous. Yuki Noguchi,
NPR News. Unemployment is rising among Black workers in America, especially Black women. That's according to the latest jobs numbers from the Labor Department. We get details from NPR's Andrea Hsu.
In August, the unemployment rate for Black workers rose to 7.5 percent. That's up from 6.2 percent in January and far higher than the overall unemployment rate of 4.3 percent for all workers. Unemployment among Black women has risen faster than for Black men.
What new anti‑war protests are planned by hostage families in Israel?
One factor driving this change could be the downsizing of the federal government. A year ago, Black workers made up 18.5 percent of the federal civilian workforce. At some agencies, they made up about a third. Black workers are often the first to feel the pain of economic downturns, so this uptick in unemployment could be a sign that economic troubles are ahead. Andrea Hsu, NPR News.
This is NPR News from New York. More anti-war protests by hostage families in Israel are planned this weekend to mark 700 days since Hamas's October 7th attack on southern Israel. In Canada, Etsy sellers and other small online retailers are scrambling to adjust to new U.S. import rules that took effect last week, NPR's Bill Chappell reports.
How are Canadian Etsy sellers coping with the new U.S. import tariffs and rules?
Like many international Etsy sellers, Cindy Baldassi relies on U.S. customers. She sells jewelry she makes in Calgary, Alberta.
The United States has been one of the easiest places to sell to.
Until recently, the U.S. had low tariffs, and under the U.S. de minimis rule, lower-value imports were duty-free. Then President Trump raised tariffs and ended de minimis for all imports, saying the rules were being abused. As a result, Baldassi says,
It's going to mean some businesses will end and some who think that they're going to be fine may not be as fine as they hope.
What happened in the Horizon Air cockpit‑jump‑seat sabotage case?
She says Etsy sellers outside the U.S. are trying to adjust to the new rules and costs, but it will take time. Bill Chappell, NPR News.
A former off-duty Alaska airline pilot who was traveling in the cockpit jump seat of a Horizon Air flight has pleaded guilty to trying to cut the engines of a passenger plane carrying more than 80 people on board. Joseph Emerson told a Portland court Friday that he regretted the harm he caused to crew members and guests flying on the October 2023 flight from Everett, Washington to San Francisco.
