This NPR Up First news podcast covers three main stories: the upcoming tense meeting between President Trump and Jordan's King Abdullah regarding Trump's controversial plan to displace Palestinians; the impact of President Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminum, potentially benefiting some American companies but harming others; and the potential dismissal of corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, with the Justice Department citing the timing of the charges and the mayor's cooperation with the Trump administration on immigration. The podcast features interviews with experts and reporters providing analysis and context for each news item. For example, the segment on the Trump-Abdullah meeting highlights Jordan's strong opposition to the plan and its potential leverage against US aid cuts.
