Summary

There's a new Pope in town, the first American. We discuss what we know about the new pontiff.

This week, President Trump says he wants the world to see the United States as a "luxury store." But who can afford it?U.S. ports say the trade war is already slowing traffic. We get to the latest on trade talks.

Also, more on the right to due process and fresh U.S. intelligence that undercuts arguments about the president's power to remove those in the U.S. without legal status to prisons overseas.

The latest as tensions escalate between India and Pakistan. Israel ramps up its war in Gaza. Vice President Vance calls out the Kremlin for stalled efforts to agree a peace deal with Ukraine.

And during his visit to the White House, Canada's newly elected prime minister tells President Trump what's up for debate and what's not for sale.

The News Roundup covers the biggest stories from this week.

0:23.5	Hey, it's Todd, your host for this edition of The News Roundup. Just a quick heads up before we start
0:28.4	the show. The news is constantly changing and things might have changed by the time you hear
0:33.6	this episode. Stay up to date with the news by listening to your local NPR member
0:38.0	station and by visiting NPR.org for all the latest. Thanks for listening. Enjoy the show.
0:47.6	You're listening to the 1A podcast. I'm Todd Zwillick, and this is the news roundup. This week, President Donald Trump tells NBC he doesn't know if he's required to uphold the Constitution.
1:05.0	Tariffs hit hard in the port of Los Angeles and is $1,000 enough of an incentive for people without legal status to, quote,
1:13.3	self-deport? We'll get to all of that and more with our panel on the roundup, but first we have a new

1:57.5	I think there's general excitement, probably some questions, because while Pope Leo has
2:03.3	been in Rome for about two years, heading the Vatican's office for bishops, he's really kept a very
2:08.3	low profile. So a few people who know him, love him, think he's great to work with, and are really
2:13.7	looking forward to this papacy. People put his new papacy in the context of Pope Francis,
2:18.9	of course. What do we know, if we can know anything, about whether Pope Leo the 14th is there
2:24.4	to continue the reforms of Pope Francis or take the church in a new direction?
