Today's Hot Story

President Trump traveled to Pittsburgh today to celebrate the partnership between U.S. Steel and Japanese company Nippon Steel. Former President Joe Biden blocked the sale on national security grounds, and Trump, as a presidential candidate, promised to stop it. But the president announced he joined the board last week after Trump conducted a national security review of the proposed plan last month. He said that would add $14 billion to the U.S. economy and create at least 70,000 jobs.

• 🎧 Details about the transaction have not been announced. NPR's Tamara Keith tells first Almost everyone she spoke to in the report said she would watch Trump’s speech closely today to figure out what the deal is going on. Nippon made it clear from the outset that it would not make such investments unless it acquires U.S. steel and its assets. Gordon Johnson, CEO of GLJ Research, said the deal was obviously an acquisition, not a partnership. One analyst Keith talked to him that Trump is likely to call it avoiding appearances, avoiding looking like he thinks of American Steel.

After Harvard University issued a preliminary ban yesterday, Harvard University can continue to enroll in international students. At present, the Trump administration's efforts to revoke international visa capabilities for college admissions have stopped. Federal Judge Allison D. Burroughs expressed concern that the government tried to prevent foreign students from attending despite her earlier orders blocking planned actions. The White House told NPR that the Trump administration should decide whether universities can issue student visas, not judges.

• 🎧 Ella Rickets of First Grade International Harvard University told NPR's Elissa Nadworny that she was hesitant Call this order a victory. Rick said she would not feel 100% safe until the case is completely won. "I'm optimistic and hopeful, but it's just one step in a bigger process," Rick said. More than one million international students enroll each year and brings about $43 billion to the U.S. economy each year. Compared to last year, university leaders worry about the decline in international applications.

Elon Musk After facing legal challenges, clashes with cabinet members, there is little evidence to support savings claims. He will hold his final press conference at the White House with Trump, limiting his term of office for 130 days.

• 🎧 Politically, Musk has become the embodiment of unwelcome things NPR's Stephen Fowler said Doge and the second Trump administration have done a lot of the Heat. Musk's other businesses have also suffered from his distraction and unpopularity. Even without Musk's head at Doge, it could continue to restructure the government through its data collection and push for narrowing down the workforce and reshaping the federal government, Fowler said.

Life advice

In the United States, about 84,000 people are diagnosed with more than 8,000 deaths from melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Using sunscreen plays a vital role in protecting your skin. Choosing the right sunscreen is important, but avoiding common mistakes is even more important. Check out these dermatologist-approved tips to optimize your skin protection:

• ☀️If you are worried about chemical sunscreens, try mineral sunscreens made from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which can physically block UV light.
• ☀️No sunscreen can filter 100% of the sunlight, so SPF 30 is enough. Instead of focusing on SPF, make sure to apply enough sunscreen. You need the equivalent of shooting glass to cover your body and face.
• ☀️Reapply sunscreen every two hours to ensure full coverage even if it has a higher SPF.
• ☀️ Cloudy days still cause sunburns as the cloud covers only about 20% of the sun.

This should also be avoided when protecting the skin.
