“This is not our war”: the countries refusing Trump’s call for help

from Apple News Today

President Trump’s call for military assistance from other countries at the Strait of Hormuz has met with a mostly cool reception. NBC News reports on why. A federal judge tossed out subpoenas issued to the Federal Reserve in a probe over whether Jerome Powell gave false testimony. The Wall Street Journal’s Nick Timiraos breaks down the case. A cash-only market for GLP-1s is bringing down prices for the drugs across the industry. Christopher Rowland of the Washington Post joins to discuss why low prices for a new class of drugs is unusual. Plus, Cuba’s energy grid collapsed leaving millions without power, a judge tossed out much of RFK Jr.’s new vaccine policies, and the world record set by Mexico City ahead of the World Cup. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.
