Also: today’s stories, including why the Supreme Court will consider President Donald Trump’s effort to reinterpret birthright citizenship; why suspicions of impropriety with traders have sparked a wave of legislation in both houses of Congress; and how the Iran war’s impact is being felt by millions of people in countries such as the Philippines.

Also: today’s stories, including why Pakistan is leading the charge to bring the United States and Iran to the negotiating table; how allegations of sexual abuse against Cesar Chavez, coming decades after his death, profoundly complicate his legacy; and why the Artemis II moon launch is a reminder of how the U.S. and Canada continue to work more closely together than ever.

    Fuel shortages are speeding a shift toward green energy and nuclear power across many countries, as the Iran conflict creates new urgency around energy security.
