Artemis II takes off, Trump’s primetime speech and SpaceX IPO

from Reuters World News · host Reuters

NASA’s Artemis II rocket blasts off for its historic moon mission. U.S. President Donald Trump uses a primetime address to tout gains in the Iran war but gives no timeline for its end – and threatens to bomb the country back into the "Stone Ages." We go inside the U.S. Supreme Court as a skeptical bench weighs Trump’s executive order to dismantle birthright citizenship. And Elon Musk’s SpaceX files to go public in what could be the biggest stock market listing. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast ⁠⁠here⁠⁠. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.
