Good evening. I'm Amna Nawaz.

And I'm Jeff Bennett. On the news hour tonight, a roller poster day on Wall Street, as President

Trump holds firm to his tariffs and threatens more.

We speak with business owners concerned about how the president's economic policies

will affect their bottom lines.

And in the face of escalating threats,

Taiwan works to prepare its citizens for a potential invasion by China.

We all need to protect the safety of this land

and the way of life we have here.

And that way of life is a free, democratic one.

Thank you. Democratic One. Welcome to the News Hour.

It was a day of wild swings on Wall Street as investors and businesses sought clarity about the scope of new tariffs

and how long they might last. President Trump and his team sent conflicting messages again,

including a threat by the president to ramp up much larger tariffs of 50% against China.

By day's end, the Dow finished a bit down just under 1%. The NASDAQ finished just above

break-even and the S&P 500 was down about two-tenths of a percent. But turmoil and confusion

over the president's goals defined much of the day. Lisa Desjardin has our report.

The opening bell on Wall Street, the sound of alarm, with stocks bungeying wildly in the first

hours and traders not able to find a foothold in President Trump's tariff war.

The economic issues are complicating diplomatic ones.

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House,

Mr. President, will you discuss tariffs on Israel?
