  • Good morning, Layla. Good morning.

  • Just waking up?

  • Yes, I'm so tired today.

  • Oh, I'm so sorry.

  • But I sound like this all the time.

  • You're the first person I've spoken to, though.

  • Wow, I'm touched.

  • Do you know, I run into, like, listeners who will say that.

  • They'll say, you're the first person who talks to me in the morning.

  • Oh, that's sweet.

  • Yeah.

  • There might be variants on that.

  • You're the first person I like who I talk to today.

  • Everyone else in this house, get rid of it.

  • How will new tariffs affect the cost of U.S.-made products that use imported aluminum and steel?

  • We, as chemmakers, pass these increases on to our customers.

  • Domestic businesses consider the cost.

  • I'm Steve Inskeep with Leila Fadal, and this is Up First from NPR News.

  • The White House formally asked Congress to claw back some spending it had previously approved.

  • The administration made that request after failing to cut spending very much on its own.
