How a Weapons Shortfall Is Frustrating Trump; Puerto Rico Begins Rationing Water
Today00:25:37Summary readyAs the war with Iran stretches into its sixth month, the U.S. is dealing with a weapons shortfall, and tensions — and tempers — are rising within the Trump administration. NBC News senior national security correspondent Courtney Kube takes us inside her reporting, which indicates that President Donald Trump is “exasperated” with his officials and aides and even threatened to fire a top Defense Department official. Plus, people in San Juan are going without showers or working toilets as Puerto Rico begins rationing water. Officials say this is because of an ongoing drought, but many residents already had intermittent water access after a major pipeline ruptured. Independent investigative reporter Laura Pérez Sánchez spoke with residents who are growing increasingly frustrated with the government’s inability to provide basic services on the island. And it’s only been one week since FIFA President Gianni Infantino scrapped his proposal to sell a major stake in the World Cup to private equity. Yet somehow Infantino appears to be back in the good graces of soccer’s governing body. So how is he still the “King of Soccer”? Wall Street Journal sports editor Joshua Robinson explains.

NBC News national correspondent Morgan Chesky shares the stories of residents who have lost everything in the fires and explains why they have been so hard to put out. It’s been a record week on Wall Street, driven largely by AI — but Elon Musk’s SpaceX has been struggling since it went public just weeks ago.

NBC News business reporter Allie Canal explains the state of Musk’s company and the Wall Street bet on artificial intelligence. And in the NBA, Achilles tendon ruptures can mean the end of a season — or even a career.
