It's Tuesday, May 13th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is Waterday,
the show that is excited to learn about our new friendly relationship with China.
You know how it works.
When you turn the tariffs on, it's to save Main Street.
And when you turn the tariffs off, partly, it's the art of the deal.
Rinse and repeat.
On today's show,
President Donald Trump orders drug makers to consider thinking about maybe lowering their U.S. drug prices.

But let's start with the conflict between India and Pakistan.
On Saturday, the Indian and Pakistani governments announced a ceasefire.
It came after days of fighting on the border between the countries and in the contested territory of Kashmir.
But as the weekend progressed, some reports indicated that the ceasefire wasn't holding.
One Indian official told the New York Times that Pakistani drones had been seen over the Indian state of Punjab.
In response, the Pakistani foreign ministry said it was India who had broken the ceasefire.
While the ceasefire announcement is welcome,
the rising tensions between the world's first and fifth most populous countries,
both nuclear powers, are not ideal.
