Jenna breaks down a major news week as Congress returns to session, April job growth beats expectations, gas prices rise amid renewed uncertainty over U.S.-Iran tensions and oil prices, and several major stories develop at once.
First: a hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship now in the Canary Islands. Jenna explains what officials are saying about the virus, why this strain is raising concern, and how U.S. health officials are responding as American passengers are monitored at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Emory University in Atlanta. She also highlights the key differences officials are emphasizing between this outbreak and COVID-era concerns.
Then: President Trump is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Jenna previews what to watch in the high-stakes U.S.-China meeting, including why tone, timing, and messaging matter.
Finally: the White House launches a new site releasing more than 160 UAP files, raising fresh questions about transparency, government disclosures, and why the possibility of life beyond Earth continues to capture public attention.
