10 分钟Thank you. From The New York Times, it's The Headlines.

Today's Monday, May 12th.
Here's what we're covering.
Early this morning,
the U.S. and China said they've reached an agreement to temporarily suspend the sky-high tariffs they've imposed on each other.
The suspension will last 90 days,
giving the world's two largest economies time to try and negotiate and defuse the escalating trade war between them.
The agreement came after U.S. and Chinese officials met over the weekend in Switzerland.
Under the deal,
the U.S. will temporarily drop its tariffs from the 145 percent that President Trump ramped them up to down to 30.
China will lower its tariffs from the 125 percent it retaliated with down to 10.
Global markets have jumped at the news.
The trade standoff had previously sent stocks tumbling and rocked businesses worldwide.
This is a developing story this morning, and you can find more details at nytimes.com.
Bottom line, is it safe to fly in the United States right now?
Listen, we are the safest airspace.
For sure.
And traveling by air is way safer than any other mode of transportation, which is why I take it.
My family takes it.
