As the funding shutdown of the DHS wears on, TSA agents and regional airports are under pressure. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy discusses the looming airport shutdowns and his concern about national security amid funding squabbles on Capitol Hill. CNBC’s Dan Murphy reports on the latest strikes in the Gulf region and the potential long term effects for oil supply. Former EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager discusses Europe’s relationship with the U.S. in wartime, including the bloc’s perspective on AI innovation, independence, and propping up the EU’s own strength. Plus, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged, and Micron reported blowout earnings, but the stock fell on concerns of chip supply crunch.
