Inflation hit a three-year high. What it means for you.

from Apple News Today

Inflation has risen to its highest level in three years as the war in Iran disrupts oil supplies and tariffs drive up prices across the board. Barron’s senior economics writer Megan Leonhardt explains what consumers are feeling right now. President Trump signed the Secure America Act, directing roughly $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol through fiscal year 2029. The Washington Post’s Jarrell Dillard explains why funding ICE for that long was an unusual step. The largest World Cup in history kicks off today across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Rebecca Lowe, cohost of the Apple News podcast After the Whistle, joins to talk about what to expect and why this tournament could push soccer fully into the American mainstream. Plus, why lawmakers are delaying the renewal of FISA, a Somali referee was denied entry into the U.S. to referee at the World Cup, and how Pope Leo and Bad Bunny came together in Madrid. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.
