The House of Representatives has approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media.
The rescissions package now moves on to the Senate.
This move poses a serious threat to local stations and public media as we know it.
Please take a stand for public media today at GoACPR.org.
Thank you.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman.
President Trump is weighing a decision on whether to order U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities as tensions between Tehran and Israel continue to escalate.
Both countries have launched attacks against each other in recent days,
fueling fears of a broader regional conflict.
We're following the latest developments out of Washington,
and NPR's Windsor Johnston joins us live in the studio this morning with more.
Windsor?
Good morning, Korva.
What we know so far is that President Trump has not decided whether to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.
Speaking at the White House on Wednesday,
the president expressed reluctance, but he also drew a hard line.
I don't want to get involved either, but I've been saying for 20 years,
maybe longer, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
I've been saying it for a long time.
And I think they were a few weeks away from having one.
