The day in brief
Prince Harry and Meghan are reported to be moving back to the United Kingdom — the most widely covered story of the day, filed by nine newsrooms. Trump promised “unparalleled” economic consequences for any country supporting Iran, while also saying he will meet North Korean leader Kim this year and stating that North Korea holds 57 nuclear weapons. The Foreign Minister said South Korea was given no notice before the drilling halt was announced. Five of the seven people killed in a safari helicopter crash in Kenya were American. In the economy, the US national debt passed $40 trillion for the first time, and Moderna's cancer vaccine designation drove a broad biopharma rally. In sport, Azzi Fudd will have knee surgery and miss the rest of the WNBA season.
