President Donald Trump has established a reputation as a pro-stock-market president, leading to record highs in the market, while also causing some of its most significant drops.

CNBC In Other News brings you stories that missed the spotlight. AI-driven layoffs have become a defining theme across the tech industry over the past year, with some sources estimating more than 112,000 U.S. jobs being lost to AI since the start of 2025. While major companies like HP and Amazon have often framed these cuts as a way to boost efficiency and shift focus toward new technologies, investors themselves don't appear convinced that these layoffs will improve companies' bottom lines in the long run. Software companies like Twilio and Datadog are starting to prove their case as winners in artificial intelligence. Investors say the performance from Datadog and Twilio underscores how companies that can deploy AI-native solutions while also articulating their path to monetization can ease disruption fears, for now. CNBC's Seema Moody explains. Since 1959, the U.S. Navy’s Marine Mammal Program has trained bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions to detect mines and other underwater threats. Reporter Sophie Caldwell spoke with Scott Savitz, senior engineer at global policy think tank Rand Corporation and an expert on mine countermeasures, to understand the history, challenges and possibilities of marine mammals in the military. While many foreign consumer brands in China, including Starbucks, Nike, and LVMH, face slowing growth and tougher competition, McDonald’s is expanding aggressively. The company plans to open 1,000 new stores a year and reach 10,000 locations in China by 2028. About half of McDonald’s new stores last year opened in China. The company also recently bought back a stake from Carlyle Group after previously selling control of its China business to Carlyle and a Chinese state-owned firm. CNBC’s Eunice Yoon looks at why McDonald’s continues to bet big on China.

Target has lost customers, sales and part of its reputation as a fun and trendy retailer since its 2021 peak. The company is now trying to win back shoppers and gain market share by focusing on baby products.

Melissa Repko spoke with Target's Chief Merchant, Cara Sylvester and visited a store in Clifton, New Jersey to learn more.

In April, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted requests for permanent swap lines from the United Arab Emirates and other economies weathering the Iran War. Swap lines, typically deployed in emergencies, enable currency exchanges between central banks to prevent global dollar shortages.

Many US political leaders on both sides of the aisle have been scrambling to keep Chinese cars out of the United States. But some Chinese companies have already found a foothold in the US. One automaker, Zhejiang Geely Holding, often called simply Geely, has investments in Volvo, Polestar and British sports car maker Lotus. Volvo already owns a factory in South Carolina, which is currently underutilized, according to analysts who spoke with CNBC. All three brands also have a dealership network in the United States. Volvo’s CEO recently said he would be open to making Chinese branded cars in the Volvo factory if the company can navigate currently strict US laws. Geely leaders have expressed a desire to bring Chinese brands here. If it is able, it would be considerably ahead of much of its competition.

After five years of unprecedented pain the U.S. office market is showing new signs of life. But for mid-sized cities like Portland the story is a little different.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case centering around glyphosate, an herbicide widely used by American farmers. The primary domestic supplier of Roundup is Monsanto, a subsidiary of Germany's Bayer AG. There is some evidence that the chemical may cause cancer. But regulators in the U.S. and abroad have not limited the use of glyphosate. Researchers have found that 81% of Americans have recently been exposed to the chemical. President Trump's call to shore up the domestic supply drove a wedge between the White House and the health-conscious "MAHA" movement, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. CNBC's Garrett Downs reports on how the fight over this chemical could shape the agriculture industry and the midterm election season.
