CNN  —  President Donald Trump is making plans for the United States to begin referring to the Persian Gulf as the Gulf of Arabia or the Arabian Gulf, two administration officials familiar with the discussions told CNN. The expected announcement is tied to his trip to the Middle East next week, where he’ll visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, the officials said. They added that conversations regarding the change are ongoing, and it is still unclear when the president will make the announcement. When asked about the name change at an Oval Office event Wednesday, Trump told…

Reuters  —  Apple is “actively looking at” reshaping the Safari web browser on its devices to focus on AI-powered search engines, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, a move that could chip away at Google’s dominance in the lucrative search market. Apple executive Eddy Cue testified in the U.S. Justice Department’s antitrust case against Alphabet, saying searches on Safari fell for the first time last month, which he attributed to users increasingly turning to AI, according to the report. Google is the default search engine on Apple’s browser, a coveted position for which it pays Apple roughly $20 billion annually, or…

CNN  —  The odds that President Donald Trump’s controversial nominee to serve as US attorney for Washington, DC, reaches confirmation are rapidly diminishing as he faces public pushback from a key Republican on Capitol Hill. North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, a GOP swing vote, informed the White House on Monday he would not support the president’s nominee, Ed Martin, for the job. Tillis, who serves on the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee responsible for advancing Martin to a full Senate vote, also met with Martin Monday. Given the narrow margins on the panel, Tillis’ opposition could be enough to derail his…

CNN  —  Former President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump for suggesting Ukraine may have to give up territory in exchange for peace, calling it a “modern-day appeasement,” in reference to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s efforts to appease Adolf Hitler as he sought to annex land in the 1930s. “I just don’t understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he’s going to take significant portions of land that aren’t his, and that’s going to satisfy him. I don’t, I don’t quite understand,” Biden said, referencing Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview…

CNN  —  Ford is hiking the sticker prices for the three US models it imports from Mexico by up to $2,000 each, just days after executives said they didn’t expect significant increases in industrywide car prices this year. The price increase was disclosed in a memo sent to Ford dealerships, first reported by Reuters but confirmed by Ford. Ford said the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), also known as the “sticker price,” would increase between $600 to $2,000 per vehicle, depending on the features. Ford said the price hike doesn’t apply to vehicles currently on the lot, but will apply…

CNN  —  Two top Trump officials are scheduled to meet later this week with Chinese representatives on trade and economic matters, their agencies announced Tuesday evening, a nascent sign of a thaw in the trade war sparked by President Donald Trump’s massive tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will both travel to Geneva, Switzerland, where they will meet with President Karin Keller-Sutter and, separately, the Chinese officials, authorities announced. Bessent said Tuesday on Fox News not to expect a major trade deal out of the meetings, but he acknowledged it was an important step in…

Washington CNN  —  During his Tuesday meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Donald Trump falsely minimized the importance of the US trade relationship with Canada. “We don’t do much business with Canada from our standpoint. They do a lot of business with us. We’re at like 4%,” Trump said. That “4%” figure is wrong. Official US data shows that Canada bought about 17% of US goods exports in February and March, the last month for which data is available – more than any other country. Canada bought about 16% of US goods exports in January, second only to…
