Details@capitalone.com Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. President Trump will speak in central Pennsylvania tonight about the economy. In a wide ranging interview published this morning in Politico, Trump insisted that he gives the US Economy a huge A. He says the current economy is one that he inherited from the Biden administration. But the most recent numbers show the inflation rate in September was the same as President Biden's last month in office. The president has changed his position on releasing the video of a second strike on a boat in the Caribbean. That September strike killed two survivors of an initial attack on the boat. The the administration claims it was carrying drugs. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more.

Last week, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he had, quote, no problem with releasing video of the second strike. However, in response to a reporter's question, he denied saying that and said he's deferring to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

He now says it's under review. Are you ordering the secretary to release that full video?

President Trump
Whatever he decides is okay with me.

Trump went on to insult the journalists, calling her obnoxious and a terrible reporter. Hegseth's role in the strikes has come under increasing scrutiny after members of Congress on key committees viewed the video of the second strike behind closed doors last week.

A federal Judge says President Trump's executive order blocking new wind energy projects in the U.S. is unlawful. NPR's Giles Snyder says the president signed that order on the first day of his return to the White House.

U.S. district Judge Patty Sarris of Massachusetts ruled in favor of a coalition of 17 Democratic led states in Washington, D.C. calling the executive order arbitrary and capricious. The directive has put the permitting process on hold for the past 11 months. Judge Sarris said the indefinite pause violates a statutory requirement that federal agencies conclude work on such matters within a reasonable time.

NPR's Giles Snyder reporting. More than 20 Democratic led states say they won't give the Trump administration the personal data of people on SNAP food assistance. The administration has threatened to yank funding from states that don't comply. NPR's Jude Jaffe block has more.

The states pointed out a federal judge already issued a preliminary injunction in October which blocks USDA from withholding funding from states that don't share the data. USDA has asked for items such as SNAP recipients names, home addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, income information and immigration status. The states say they object to the federal government collecting Americans personal data without a clear need for it and cited legal and data security concerns. They suggested sharing DE identified data instead and asked USDA to answer a number of questions, including whether it can confirm state SNAP data won't be used for immigration enforcement.

The United Nations Relief and works Agency, or UNRWA, was set up in 1948 and it provides services to millions of Palestinians. Although the agency was banned last year from operating inside Israel, operations in occupied East Jerusalem and elsewhere continued. Police say they raided the offices to collect municipal debts. An Unruh statement says they seized it equipment and other property and and replace the UN Flag on the roof with an Israeli flag. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says the raid amounts to unauthorized entry. He's demanding Israel respect the, quote, inviolability of UNRWA premises. Israel says some UNRWA employees took part in the Hamas led attack on October 7, 2023. Jerome Sokolovsky, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
