Summary

P.M. Edition for June 9. Roughly 500 Marines are deploying to the L.A. area in the wake of protests over immigration.

WSJ reporter Vicky Ge Huang discusses their strategy, and why it might expose crypto to new risks. And a new 50% tariff on imported steel went into effect last week and is pinching the canned foods industry. We hear from Bob Tita, who covers metals and manufacturing for the Journal, about why that could end up costing consumers more. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
