What is President Trump's response to Russian drones over Poland?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Ronan. President Trump is downplaying the significance of Russian drones flying into Poland's airspace. NPR's Franko Ordonius reports European leaders are pushing back.
In an interview with Fox and friends, President Trump suggested that the incursion by Russian drones may have been an accident. More sanctions.
But he shouldn't be close to Poland anyway.
The president said his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin was quote sort of running out and running out fast, but added that it takes two to tango and suggested Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky was also part of the problem. Trump warned that he could bring stronger penalties against Russia, including sanctions on banks and the oil trade.
How is the U.S. National Guard being considered for deployment in St. Louis?
But he also said the US has done a lot already, and that this is more of Europe's problem. Franco Ordonez NPR News, New York.
Президен Трамп, дед, freight rail giant Union Pacific advised him he should send the National Guard troops to St. Louis to fight crime. St. Louis Public Radio's Rachel Lippmann has local reaction.

Migrants sent by the United States to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have been moved to another part of the US naval base there due to a water supply failure. That's raising more questions about whether Guantanamo can accommodate the thirty thousand migrants President Trump says he wants to send there, NPR's Sasha Pfeiffer reports.
Guantanamo gets its drinking water from a treatment facility, and the Justice Department disclosed this week that in late August there was a quote disruption to water service to the part of the base where the government's migrant operations center is. That's where the U.S. is holding what it calls low-threat aliens. So those migrants were transferred to a part of the base where, quote, high-threat aliens are held.
What are the Federal Reserve's plans for interest‑rate policy next week?
The water supply isn't expected to be restored until at least september nineteenth. Critics of sending migrants to Guantanamo say the basis infrastructure is too primitive to hold large numbers of migrants there, and the water failure has added to their skepticism. Sasha Pfeiffer, NPR News.
