How might the Supreme Court’s ruling affect President Trump’s tariff policy?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavoni. The Supreme Court has cleared the way to consider a challenge to President Trump's tariff policies. The High Court will hear arguments in the case in the first week of November. NPR's Elena Moore has details.
This case centers on a move Trump made back in April when he announced sweeping tariffs on countries around the world using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. It marked a stark break from precedent, given that Congress, not the White House, traditionally controls the country's tariff moves. Two federal courts have since said the policy is illegal. Now, if the Supreme Court sides with Trump, the tariffs would be allowed to stay.
Why did President Trump criticize the Israeli strikes in Qatar and what are the diplomatic implications?
If the justices uphold the lower court rulings, the White House could be forced to refund the billions it's already collected from the tariffs. Elena Moore, NPR News.
President Trump says he disapproves of Israeli strikes today on Hamas targets in Doha. In a formal statement, the White House said unilateral strikes inside a close US ally, in this case Qatar, does not advance Israel's or America's goals. This evening he spoke with reporters outside of a restaurant around the corner from the White House.
I'll be giving a full statement tomorrow, but uh I w tell you this I was very unhappy about it, very unhappy about every aspect and uh we gotta get the hostages back. But I was very unhappy about the way that went down.
Qatar has been a key player in negotiations aimed at ending the war in Gaza.
What is the plan to repatriate the detained South Korean workers from Georgia?
The South Korean government is preparing to send a chartered flight to Atlanta this week. Officials will bring home Korean workers who were detained last week by US agents at an electric battery factory in Georgia that charges were immigration violations. NPR's Anthony Kuhn has more.
The Yonhap News Agency reports that the flight could leave as early as Wednesday with enough seats to bring home the more than 300 detained workers. South Korean Foreign Minister Cho hyon flew to the U.S. on Monday to oversee the process. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is calling the raid on the Hyundai LG Electric Vehicle and Battery Plant in Bryan County, Georgia, its biggest enforcement operation ever. South Korea has pledged to invest $350 billion in the US, but experts argue that US visa restrictions make it difficult to bring in the skilled workers needed to build factories.
How do the latest labor‑department job revisions change the picture of U.S. employment growth?
A survey by South Korean Pulsters RealMeter found that 60% of respondents considered measures used in the raid excessive. Anthony Kuhn in PR News Sol.
Revised jobs data from the labor department show a less robust employment picture than reported over the year that ended in March of this year, and benchmark revisions issued today data show employers added about nine hundred thousand fewer jobs than originally estimated in the twelve month period beginning in twenty twenty four and ending the first quarter of this year. This is NPR News. A new moon has been discovered orbiting Uranus from Member Station Northwest Public Broadcasting Lauren Patterson has more.
At just six miles in diameter, the newest moon discovered orbiting Uranus is also the smallest. That's according to University of Idaho physics professor Matthew Headman, who was part of the team led by the Southwest Research Institute that made the discovery. Headman says the 13 rings encircling Uranus are exceptionally narrow, and the icy giants' moons are orbiting so closely that their gravitational poles can tug on each other, leading to collisions.
What significance does the newly discovered moon of Uranus hold for planetary science?
It indicates we don't really understand what's going on in this system, and that tells us there's still a lot about how things are going on in space that we still need to learn.
He says understanding more about how the moons interact could help scientists learn more about the physics of asteroid belts. For NPR News, I'm Lauren Patterson in Moscow, Idaho.
In a family business strategic planning as closely watched as the HBO series succession, ninety-four year old patriarch Rupert Murdoch has set a path for his son Lackland to control his father's media empire when the batonas finally passed.
