Why did President Trump reject Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. President Trump says he rejected Iran's latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks.

How is Hurricane Nolo expected to impact Hawaii’s islands and recovery efforts?
Iran says it would allow UN nuclear inspectors into the country as part of a longer-term ceasefire deal. For now, there's no agreement to reopen the strait or restart negotiations. Hurricane Nolo is moving south of Hawaii. Forecasters say the storm could bring up to two feet of rain to the big island along with dangerous flooding and mudslides.

While the other islands may be spared from Nolo's harshest impacts, the entire state is reeling from months of natural disasters that includes major storms and an earthquake. The state's governor, Josh Green, says over twelve hundred homes have been damaged or destroyed as a result. He adds that recovery efforts will cost upwards of a billion dollars prior to no load.
