China's defense minister isn't at the Shangri-La dialogue.
And at the security forum, he's warning Asian military officials about China. I'm Scott Simon.
Both the Biden and Trump administrations were opposed.
The details are unclear, but what do people in and around Pittsburgh think about it?
So please stay with us. We've got the news you need to start your weekend.
He also wants China's neighbors and allies in the region to support that effort.
NPR's Anthony Kuhn joins us from Singapore. Anthony, thank you for being with us. Nice to join you, Scott. And how did the Secretary describe this threat from China?
Secretary Hegseth's remarks seem to echo President Trump's America's First policies, and I wonder if he said anything about that.
Anthony, thanks so much for being with us. You're welcome, Scott.
President Trump applauded this agreement at a steel mill just outside of Pittsburgh last night and said it would protect and even create new steel jobs in a long-struggling U.S. industry.
But the president was light on specifics and admitted later there is no final deal yet. And here's Don Gagne joins us now from Pittsburgh. Don, thanks for being with us. Good morning. What's the reaction in steel country?
Did the mayor talk about how his community had been hurt by the decline of U.S. Steel?
What did people in the community tell you?
Of course, Don, it's interesting that the president has really increased trade pressure on other countries. What do his supporters say about Nippon Steel, which is, after all, a Japanese company, potentially taking over a company that was once such a cornerstone of U.S. manufacturing?
And here's Don Gagne. Don, thanks so much for being with us.
She made the announcement on her website Friday, calling it more than a dream come true.
NPR Music's Stephen Thompson joins us now. Stephen, thanks for being with us. Thank you, Scott. It's been a long time coming for Taylor Swift, hasn't it?
And how unusual is this for an artist?
What happens now? Is she going to put out what I'll call new versions of her originals now that she owns the master's?
And Pierre Stephen Thompson, thanks so much for being with us. Thank you, Scott. And that's Up First for Saturday, May 31st, 2025. I'm Scott Simon.
