Good morning to you. I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. Starting in Cambridge. Harvard University filing a new federal lawsuit against the Trump administration. The school is challenging the administration's decision to ban them from enrolling foreign students. In the meantime, they want a restraining order to stop that move. Here's ABC Stephen Portnoy.
Harvard says, what the stroke of a pen, the administration is sought to erase a quarter of its student body. The university says the action amounts to a blatant violation of the First and Fifth Amendments and is just the latest example of retaliation against the school for its refusal to allow the administration to control it. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nolmes says Harvard has fostered anti Semitism and coordinated
with communist China. Nolmes says the administration's move should quote serve as a warning to all academic institutions.
President Alan Garber says the school condemns this unlawful and unwarranted action. He calls it a warning to international students at schools around the country. Meantime, President Trump says he wants to put a new fifty percent tariff on all God's imported from the EU, and he wants it to start on June first. The President was upset by the lack of progress in trade talks with the European Union, saying on truth Social Quote discussions with them are going nowhere.
He's also threatening a twenty five percent tariff on Apple unless they bring their iPhone production to the US. President Trump saying last week that he did not like Apple CEO Tim Cook's decision to move manufacturing for iPhones to new plants in India that would again count for iPhones sold in the United States. Meantime, President Trump is hosting big money investors who are interested in his latest private enterprise. Here CBS is Steve Kathan.
President Trump used his Virginia golf club to host a dinner for top investors in one of his meme coin cryptocurrency projects. Businessman Donald Quimby says he bought two million dollars worth of trump Coin recently.
We thought this was really the best platform to make a splashed and to make to max some noise.
Critics have labeled it a historic corruption of the presidency. George Washington in the University professor Jessica Tillipman.
Ethnically, this appears to be a president that could be potentially benefiting privately from something that he's doing out in the open.
Steve Kith and CBS News.
Very busy travel days. You can imagine as maybe you and millions of other Americans head off to the holiday weekend destination.
Overall, Triple A expects forty five point one million to travel. Ali Mitchell opted to take the train to New York City.
I honestly find it just to be the easiest as far as like the travel goes, I don't know less like delays.
At Newark Airport Thursday, a long line of planes waiting to take off as Alexa Pearnston waited for her flight to Japan. How concerned about flying out in Newark are you today? I'm coming in anticipating that there might be some challenges.
So if there aren't any challenges, all be pleasantly surprising.
That update there from CBS's Kris Fan Cleeve. The weather thankfully is starting to improve. With everything that we've got going on today, it's going to be a lot nicer ound there. We are not completely out of the woods when it comes to showers, there is a chance we could have a couple stray ones. And the breeze is sticking around as well, although certainly not gusting as much as it was yesterday. We have a high today in the mid fifties, and then tonight occasional rain, mostly early,
with a low in the upper forties. For Tomorrow Saturday, breaks of sun becoming breezier, with a couple of showers, but again nothing consistent and a high year sixty Sunday clouds and sun breezy, with a high year sixty three. Monday, more sun than clouds and a high in the mid to upper sixties. So looking better as we make our way through the holiday weekend. And you got to go to the store and get everything you need for the barbecue.
Right.
While April saw dip in food inflation, wbz's Jim McKay went to see if that's being reflected at the checkout.
Since the pandemic, it seems we've almost gotten used to high prices and inflation, especially when you're grocery shopping.
You all right, wish things would go down.
I don't like to see the prices go lot. Jannis and Tom from Hanover, saying they were looking to pick up some steaks in market basket, something Jannis doesn't mind paying more for. You know, you're getting a good product in there, you get good price. Her two sons love a good steak on the grill. For Tom, well, he's going to stick to bargain hunting.
Those things always seem to go up quicker than they go down.
He's grilling chicken this weekend instead. He just wishes he could save a few more bucks on that grocery bill.
Be nice if things could drop.
Someone not going to let that spoil.
However. The Unifficials start this summer in head Over JIMMYAWBZ Boston's news Radio.
