Several Americans were hurt in a missile attack on a Kuwaiti air base.

0:08

As a white House meeting to discuss extending the cease fire with Iran

0:11

ended without conclusion or announcements from President Trump.

0:15

Bloomberg's Wendy Benjamin Sin has more from Washington.

0:18

We haven't heard anything yet, although we are expecting

0:21

that we will hear from him this morning, particularly

0:24

about the injuries to a handful of American troops at a U.S.

0:28

base in Kuwait that, given the fact that he apparently

0:32

wasn't ready to sign this agreement after the discussion in the Situation Room.

0:37

I don't think this event will push him any closer

0:41

toward being willing to sign an agreement with Iran.

0:43

That's Bloomberg's Wendy Benjamin Sin on Bloomberg this weekend.

0:56

Ship owners are increasingly optimistic now about a pickup in traffic

1:00

through Hormuz after more vessels left the waterway this week.

1:04

Some ships that have crossed belong to companies that haven't moved

1:07

since this war started with Iran four months ago.

1:20

partnerships and stable ties

with China while speaking at a security summit overnight in Singapore.

1:26

Bloomberg editor at large House Haslinda Amin is there.

1:29

It is a balancing act, the tone that has adopted this time round

1:33

reflects a relationship with China, which is still being redefined.

1:38

He talked about how relations are constructive, that China is possibly

1:42

a partner, and that communications between the two sides,

1:46

open.

1:46

Bloomberg's Haslinda Amin on Bloomberg this weekend.

1:49

He did not mention Taiwan in his speech, which is a red line

1:53

for China and marked a major shift in tone.

1:56

NATO defense chief Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragon is also at that summit

2:00

and talked about Europe's response to President Trump's

2:03

demand to pay more for defense and its relationship with the Pentagon.

2:07

He says it's stable.

2:08

We had a commitment, a strong commitment in The Hague to reach the 5% by 2035.

2:14

We have a naval defense planning process

2:17

to give us the capability that we need, and we will acquire that in time.

2:21

So I think we are in a good and a good shape.

2:23

Dragon two telling Bloomberg there drama free on the military side to President

2:28

Trump's latest physical results, say he remains in excellent health.

2:36

and is fully fit to carry out all duties as commander in chief.

2:48

Trump will be 80 next month.

The Trump administration says it plans to appeal a judge's authority

2:58

Bloomberg's Ed Kalegi has details.

3:00

The Justice Department filed notice Friday that it will appeal a court order

3:03

compelling customs authorities

3:05

to recalculate all import taxes that the administration collected

3:09

under President Trump's use of a 1970s era emergency powers law.

3:13

U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched a new online portal

3:17

to process refund claims, signaling that it intended to repay

3:21

at least some of the approximately $166 billion

3:25

in levies struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year.

3:31

Meta and Google have agreed to pay about $27 million to settle a lawsuit

3:35

with a school district in Kentucky that claims their addictive

3:38

social media platforms helped create a teen mental health crisis.

3:42

The settlement allowed the companies to avert trial, but

3:45

this is just one of more than 1000 similar suits nationwide,

3:49

and yum brands could sell Pizza Hut soon.

3:52

4:18

Going after dangerous criminals, not the act of crossing the border,

4:22

but dangerous criminals.

4:23

The new law also limits law enforcement,

4:25

helping Ice agents and federal immigration efforts.

4:29

The Carolina Hurricanes will face the Vegas Golden Knights
