Donald Trump said on Thursday the survival of Ukraine is important to the United States, a shift in tone days before the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is due to vote on a $61 billion aid package. The former president did not endorse the package, and he dedicated most of his post on his Truth Social platform to complaining that America's European allies are not spending enough to support Ukraine. Still, the post seemed to be one of Trump's first acknowledgements that Ukraine's survival is an important U.S. security interest.
U.S. stocks closed near the unchanged mark on Thursday, as investors sifted through the latest corporate earnings, while economic data and comments from Federal Reserve officials suggested the central bank was unlikely to cut interest rates in the near future. Economic data showed that the labor market remained resilient, as weekly initial unemployment claims were unchanged from the prior week at 212,000 while a gauge of manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region rose to a two-year high. The solid labor market, recent reading showing sticky inflation, and comments from Fed officials, including Chair Jerome Powell, have led markets to back off expectations the central bank would cut interest rates by at least 25 basis points (bps) at its June meeting.
San Francisco on Thursday sued Oakland after officials there voted in favor of changing the name of the city’s airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, saying the change will cause confusion and is already affecting its airport financially.

U.S. stock indexes drifted to a mixed finish on Thursday in a quiet day of trading. The S&P 500 fell 11.09 points, or 0.2%, to 5,011.12 after flipping between small gains and losses through the day. The drop was slight, but it was still enough to send the index to a fifth straight loss. That’s its longest losing streak since October, and it’s sitting 4.6% below its record set late last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up by 22.07 points, or 0.1%, to 37,775.38, and the Nasdaq composi
NEW YORK (AP) — Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney was among five players reinstated by the NFL on Thursday after they were suspended last season for violating the league's gambling policy. Four free agents were also among the group and can now sign with teams: outside linebacker Rashod Berry, wide receiver Quintez Cephus, safety CJ Moore and defensive tackle Demetrius Taylor.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A civilian interrogator who worked 20 years ago at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq denied abusing detainees Thursday, and told jurors he was actually promoted for doing a good job. Steven Stefanowicz, who worked for military contractor CACI when he was assigned to Abu Ghraib in 2003 and 2004, has long been a key figure in the abuse scandal that emerged when photos became public showing U.S. soldiers smiling as detainees were forced into shocking poses of physical an
The Arizona Cardinals' rebuilding project is about to hit one of its most important moments. Second-year general manager Monti Ossenfort has been building toward this draft since he was hired in January 2023, and the Cardinals currently have 11 picks, including six selections in the top 90. The Cardinals finished with a 4-13 record last season, but were much more competitive after quarterback Kyler Murray returned from a torn ACL that sidelined him for roughly 11 months.

The most recent time the Los Angeles Rams made a first-round pick in the NFL draft, Sean McVay was Washington's offensive coordinator and Puka Nacua was a high school freshman. General manager Les Snead's team was nothing special at that time following 12 consecutive non-winning seasons, and the Rams decided they needed to make a big splash in Hollywood by trading up for Jared Goff.

The San Francisco 49ers will no longer be spectators on the opening night of the NFL draft. After sitting out round one the past two years thanks to a pricey decision to trade up for quarterback Trey Lance in 2021, the 49ers will be in position to fill a hole on the roster on day one of the draft this year. San Francisco holds the 31st overall selection in the draft, as well as nine additional picks the final two days, making the opening night far more entertaining for the Niners than the past two years.
