This is your twenty four to seven US update. The
latest use this hour in just four minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
The US has set to hold another round of nuclear
talks with a RAN next week. The White House called
the first round positive and constructive. Following today's meeting between
high level US and Iranian officials in Oman Middle East,
Envoy Steve Whitkoff spoke briefly with the RAN's foreign minister
as discussions wrapped up today. Iranian State TV said Oman's
foreign minister hosted the session, with messages relayed back and
forth between the delegations and separate rooms. President Trump says

(00:32):
he'll follow the Supreme Court's order to return a Maryland
man who was wrongly deported. The High Court ruled on
Thursday that the government must facilitate the return of Kilmar
Abrego Garcia, who was deported by accident last month to
an El Salvador prison. When asked about it on Air
Force One yesterday, Trump said he respects the Supreme Court
and that if the Supreme Court says bring somebody back,

(00:52):
I will do that. There's good news for American tech
companies regarding President Trump's tariffs against China. Lisa Carton reports.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
US customs and border protections, as certain tech devices will
be exempt from tariffs. The CBP issued official guidance Friday
night that exempts electronic items such as computers, smartphones, flag
panel TV displays, flash drives, and memory cards. This could
especially benefit tech giant Apple, which has a large percentage
of iPads and Mac computers made in China. The President

(01:21):
imposed one hundred and forty five percent tariffs on China.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Mexico is sending an emergency delivery of water to farmers
in Texas as President Trump threatens new tariffs. Mexican President
Claudia Shinbaum said yesterday that an immediate delivery of millions
of cubic meters will be provided to Texas farmers who
requested water from the Rio Grand. The US and Mexico
have been locked in a dispute over a nineteen forty
four treaty that specifies how much water the US receives.

thirty percent by the year twenty fifty in North America

Parkinson's disease. D and scientists are working to determine what

Hawaii may be shortened to just Hawaii. The Hawaii Board

(02:11):
of Geographic Names is currently reviewing a proposal. Board chair
Marcus Marzan says the island of Hawaii is the only
island that includes island of in its name, and the
board feels the true name of Hawaii would be the
most appropriate name. He noted that island of was added
to distinguish the island from the state, something he says
the board no longer considers necessary. The board will vote

(02:33):
during its June meeting, and if approved, it'll go forward
to the US Board of Geographic Names. If it is
approved by that national board, the name changed likely wouldn't
take effect until sometime in twenty twenty six at the earliest.
Frontier Airlines is cutting back its flights. The Denver based
carrier announced the move due to a drop in demand
