As markets yo-yo in response to President Trump's recently announced tariff strategy, White House officials say dozens of countries are lining up to renegotiate trade deals.
We're having direct talks with Iran and Iranians. They've started. It'll go on Saturday.
The Trump administration set to begin direct talks with the Iranian regime over its nuclear ambitions. RFKJ takes media fire amid a deadly measles outbreak.

What was the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's deportation policies?
April 15th is just around the corner. Act now before the IRS acts first. A big win for the Trump administration at the U.S. Supreme Court, which today lifted the injunction on Trump's deportations of suspected Venezuelan gang members, saying the D.C. court where they objected to their removal did not have proper jurisdiction. The high court, in a 5-4 decision in which Trump appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the three liberals in dissent, found that, as the Trump administration had conceded, the illegals deserve some measure of due process prior to removal, but that those hearings must be held in so-called habeas proceedings, which means before an immigration judge and in the jurisdiction in which the migrants are detained.
In this case, that's Texas, not Washington, D.C., Therefore, Judge Boasberg did not have the right to hear this case, and his orders trying to stop the deportations and turn those deportation flights around were improper. Bottom line, the Trump administration may continue to summarily remove these suspected gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Individual hearings on the deportations, if at all, will happen in immigration courts where the detainees are held once arrested. The Supreme Court also weighing in on the case of the 29-year-old Salvadorian national the Department of Justice admits was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The high court ruling the government did not have to meet the midnight Tuesday deadline set by a lower court judge to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Last week, U.S. District Judge Paula Zinnis ordering the government to return Mr. Abrego Garcia by 11.59 p.m. on Monday. He was in the U.S.
with protection from being removed to only one country, his home of El Salvador, after an immigration court earlier found a likelihood of danger to him there. Judge Zinnes, appointed by President Obama, writing in this case, quote, "...as defendants acknowledge they had no legal authority to arrest him, no justification to detain him, and no grounds to send him to El Salvador, let alone deliver him into one of the most dangerous prisons in the Western Hemisphere." Authorities arrested Mr. Abrego Garcia on March 12th in Baltimore. On the 15th, he was deported to El Salvador. He could have been deported elsewhere, just not to El Salvador, given the removal protection he received. ICE officials say Mr. Abrego Garcia was inadvertently included on a flight manifest that should have only included people cleared for deportation to El Salvador. The Trump administration maintains Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member.
