Oh, hey there. I'm Brittany Luce. And I don't know, maybe this is a little out of pocket to say, but I think you should listen to my podcast. It's called It's Been a Minute, and I love it. And I think you will too. Over the past couple months, over 100,000 new listeners started tuning in. Find out why. Listen to the It's Been a Minute podcast from

NPR today. Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. President Donald Trump has

signed a measure imposing steep tariffs on cars imported into the U.S. The 25% tariff on vehicles made in other countries and sold in the U.S.

will affect not just foreign companies, but also U.S. automakers who build cars in Canada and Mexico.

Trump says it will result in more cars being built here. We'll effectively be charging a 25% tariff,

but if you build your car in the United States, there is no tariff. And what that means

is a lot of foreign car companies. A lot of companies are going to be in great shape because they've

already built their plant. But their plants are underutilized, so they'll be able to expand them

inexpensively and quickly. Nearly half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. are imported. It is likely, at least

near term. The tariffs will raise prices for

consumers. That's at a time the average new vehicle price in the U.S. is approaching $50,000.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was on a signal chat about strikes in Yemen. He faced questions about it

while on State Department business in Jamaica. Here's NPR's Michelle Kellerman.

Secretary Rubio says the signal chat was set up to coordinate plans and he only wrote in it

twice to name his point person and to congratulate his colleagues on the successful strike

against the Houthis in Yemen. Obviously, someone made a mistake. Someone made a big mistake

and added a journalist. Nothing against

journalists, but you ain't supposed to be on that thing. So they got on there and this happened.

He says he's confident that there was nothing in there that would have put American service

members in danger. This won't happen again, Rubio insists, adding, in his words, it can't.
