Summary

This week the Supreme Court told the Trump administration Thursday that it must "facilitate" the release and retrieval of a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador.

After announcing tariffs on almost every country in the world last week, President Donald Trump announced this week that he was pausing reciprocal tariffs for 90 days. Except for those on China.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. traveled to Texas after a second death linked to a measles outbreak in the state was reported.

Meanwhile, Ukraine says Chinese soldiers are now waging war alongside Russian soldiers. China denies the accusation.

And on Tuesday, Japan signaled that it would be interested in joining NATO's support of Ukraine as it continues to fight off the Russian invasion.

Our all-star panels help guide us through the most important headlines this week.
