Podcast: Apple News TodayPublished On: Wed Apr 16 2025
Description: Bloomberg News reports on Harvard University’s pushback to demands from the Trump administration and the resulting retribution. CNN examines how other universities have responded. And Wesleyan president Michael Roth talks about his own approach. The Wall Street Journal’s Yaroslav Trofimov joins to discuss how some U.S. allies are hedging their bets in a trade war with China. As the White House and El Salvador have declined to help return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States, PBS Newshour looks at conditions inside the prison in which he is being held. CBS’s 60 Minutes finds that a large majority of individuals deported from the U.S. to that prison do not have criminal records. Plus, Trump looks to rescind public-media funding, another Columbia student is detained by ICE, and how some Californians knew an earthquake was coming seconds before it hit. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
