you're driving along, enjoying your life and the next thing you know, boom! the car was hit so hard we were both knocked out. my sister and i both had to get two surgeries, but they said our injuries weren't that bad. they said they're not going to pay. they weren't going to pay the law. brothers came through for the bailey sisters and at the end they paid. the hi, everybody. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, monday, may 12th, 2025. major breakthrough. the u.s. and china announce a 90-day pause in their trade battle, how it came together.
12:01 pm
the details of the agreement and what it all means for the prices you pay. finally free. the last living u.s. hostage held by hamas in gaza is free after more than 580 days in captivity. what his release could mean in the push to end the war in the middle east. making the case. opening statements today in the federal sex trafficking trial of sean "diddy" combs. what we're learning about the jury and the first witness called to testify. and amazing grace. meet the college grad going viral for this unforgettable celebration, bounding into the arms of the university president who also happens to be her dad. >> just living that for a moment. what that heartwarming moment meant to both of them, coming up. amazing grace and amazing day, and a warm welcome to our new viewers on nbc 6 in south florida. >> very happy to have you out
12:02 pm
there. we begin this hour at the white house. >> that's right. a major de-escalation in america's trade war with china. >> u.s. officials met with their chinese counterparts in geneva, switzerland, this weekend. here's what the world's two largest economies have agreed to. starting wednesday, the u.s. and china will pause their steep tariffs on each other for 90 days. chinese tariffs on u.s. imports will go from 125% down to 10%, and the u.s. tariffs on chinese imports will be cut down from 145% to 30%. president trump says steel, aluminum, cars, and pharmaceuticals are not included in that reduction. >> leading us off this hour, senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez and senior business correspondent christine romans. christine, let's start with you. this is only a pause on those very steep tariffs, not a final deal. what's practically changing here, and what does this pause mean for folks who are buying goods from china? >> officials in the ports don't expect a big rush of goods to start coming in when you're
12:03 pm
talking about 30% tariffs. these are still much higher than normal, but it does show a de-escalation in what had been a damaging trade war between the two biggest economies in the world that essentially had shut down trade between the two. so a de-escalation, a cooling of the temperature, and then in 90 days we'll see where it goes from there. >> and chinese state tv, social media, celebrating the pause. gabe, saying, quote, china's firm countermeasures and resolute stance have been highly effective, unquote. what is the white house saying about the agreement? >> reporter: the president spoke just a short time ago at the white house before departing for a major international trip, the first of his second term. the president calling this a total reset for the relationship between the u.s. and china. and saying that the administration had very friendly talks with china in switzerland over the weekend. this is certainly a drastic change, a dramatic change from what we have been hearing over the last several weeks.
12:04 pm
the harsh rhetoric from the white house when it comes to china, but now the president saying that he might even talk directly with chinese president xi jinping, possibly later this week. >> so christine, what does this pause mean for both big and small businesses who ultimately rely a lot on imports from china? >> reporter: it's really critical for manufacturers and companies in the united states that rely on parts that come from china, so they can do their business. so a 30%, again, still higher than it had been before the trade war began, but the chamber of commerce with a statement saying while it's glad the numbers have been lowered, saying in part while any agreement that reduces tariffs is good news it's important to note even with this agreement, tariffs are much higher overall than the beginning of the year and many businesses especially small businesses are dealing with growing costs and disruptions. one port official saying you're not going to see a bunch of shipments of furniture and
12:05 pm
couches and tennis shoes, that 30% is still too high. for consumers the longer this lasts it could mean higher prices and maybe less availability of items that you usually see in the mall and at the stores. >> and gabe, can i switch over to a different topic real quick? president trump signed an executive order this morning about prescription drug pricing. what are the details? >> that's right. a lot going on at the white house today. the president signing that sweeping executive order trying, what he says, to bring prices, pharmaceutical drug prices here in the u.s. in line with what other countries pay. essentially giving pharmaceutical companies 30 days to reach price targets. after that, if they don't reach the targets voluntarily, the government will then step in and try to get them to lower prices. a lot of details of that part of it is still unclear and this is likely to face court challenges. here's what the president had to say just a short time ago. >> some prescription drug and pharmaceutical companies will be
12:06 pm
reduced almost immediately by 50 to 80 to 90%. big pharma will either abide by this principle voluntarily or we'll use the power of the federal government to insure that we are paying the same price as other countries. >> reporter: now, the president had tried to do this during his first term, but it was blocked by the courts. this time, though, he says that this will go into effect in the near future and as you just heard him say, this could mean a reduction in pharmaceutical costs, drug costs for americans by 50% to perhaps even 90%.%. >> and we'll talk more about those prescription drug prices later this hour. gabe and christine, thank you both. jurors are hearing the first witness testimony in the federal criminal trial against sean "diddy" combs. >> a jury heard opening statements earlier today in a trial that could last eight weeks. combs is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy. he faces up to life in prison
12:07 pm
and has pleaded not guilty. >> entertainment correspondent chloe melas is outside the courthouse in new york city for us, also with us, danny cevallos. chloe, let's start with you. a former hotel security guard we understand is the first person, the first witness to take the stand. what is he saying? >> reporter: so he is somebody that was there when and saw that footage of cassie ventura who had been brutally beaten in that hotel hall way in 2016. it is a central piece of evidence for the prosecutors. prosecutors claim that combs paid off a security guard, $100,000, in an effort to silence cassie, and an effort to keep that video out from the public. but little did he know, there was a second copy of that video. and a version of that footage is going to be shown to perspective jurors. we're also going to hear from an escort potentially later today, and then there is a slight chance that we might even hear
12:08 pm
from combs' former girlfriend cassie ventura herself. if not, we'll likely hear from her tomorrow. >> we know this case revolves around four alleged victims. they are all expected to testify. what are we expecting there? >> reporter: we're actually not sure who is going to testify. we know that cassie ventura will. we also know that a woman who is going to go by a pseudonym, they're going to call her jane, she's go to be testifying. there are going to be people that are going to say that they either witnessed violence against cassie or against others. former personal assistants and people who used to work for combs. but there was some reporting, and we even heard it last week from the judge, that there was difficulty getting in touch with one of the victims, that perhaps this person didn't want to testify anymore. so again, we're not exactly sure who we're going to see take the stand until it really happens. >> chloe, thanks. danny, let me bring you in.
12:09 pm
the defense has said they're not going to defend combs against these allegations of domestic violence. they acknowledge there was some domestic violence. what do you think is their strategy then in terms of defense? >> that's the strategy. i was not surprised we heard it in the opening. they had to do this. they had to say because they knew that video was coming. they had to say essentially you're going to conclude my client is not a particularly great person. you might think he's a jerk. you will see him hit people. you'll see him be rude. you'll see all these things. that doesn't mean he committed these very specific federal crimes. domestic violence is not the same as human trafficking. it's not the same as transportation for purposes of prostitution. they had to do that because they don't have a very likable client. >> to that end, right, combs is known, this video has been seen. this is a very high-profile case, one expected to go about eight weeks. friday there were concerns about jury members getting cold feet. how do you navigate almost protecting a jury in a case like
12:10 pm
this? >> it's challenging but this is a courthouse that handles a lot of high-profile trials. they're used to it. jurors arguably living in manhattan may be more used to seeing a famous face here and there. they can handle it. you have to be very careful. it's so difficult nowadays for a juror to go home and avoid being hit with some media shrapnel about the case. they have to be -- the jurors have to be as cautious as the litigants. >> danny and chloe, thanks to you both. let's get back to consumer news. a big change is brewing for budweiser's parent company. >> and fox is putting a label on its new streaming platform. >> pippa stevens joins us now. >> reporter: anheuser-busch says it will invest $300 million in u.s. facilities this year. it will launch a new plant in ohio. the company, which makes budweiser, said it has invested more than $2 billion in 100 facilities nationwide over the past five years. the announcement comes as president trump has been pushing

living american hostage has been released by hamas. 21-year-old edan alexander is an israeli american dual citizen from new jersey. he was handed over to israeli forces earlier today after spinding 19 months in captivity. the united states secured alexander's release after talks with hamas. it comes as prident trump is en route to the region for his first foreign trip of his cond term. international correspondent matt bradley joins us with the latest. this release was negotiated without israel. what more can you tell us about how this came to be and what happens next for edan? >> reporter: that's what's kind of landing in a controversial way in israel right now because we have heard actually the "wall street journal" was quoting the mother of one of the other israeli hostages saying that her son is fully israeli and maybe he's not getting the same priority. this is a moment that is bittersweet for a lot of
12:16 pm
hostages' families who are fully israeli. they feel as though their government isn't doing what the trump administration is doing to free their own people. and instead, they're continuing the war. now, we heard from benjamin netanyahu just today. he said, he took credit for this and said that the reason why edan alexander is free is because of the continued military pressure the idf is putting on hamas, that that is what is making them, forcing them to do deals and do this unusual move, releasing a hostage without any obvious quid pro quo, without anything in exchange. just essentially as a gesture. but for israelis this is something that is, again, very controversial. they want to see a majority of them want to see a would free t remaining hostages. and they want to see an end to the fighting. that is what hamas wants as well. they have said they will free the remaining hostages only if the israelis end the fighting and withdraw from the gaza
12:17 pm
strip. again, this is a difficult and interesting moment for israelis. >> a moment happening as president trump visits the region. he does not currently plan to visit israel. how significant is the timing of that release with that in mind? >> reporter: it's really interesting because we don't know what this is about, whether this is something the qataris, where trump is visiting doha, whether this is something they did, whether they prevailed on hamas to release edan alexander, and we don't know whether or not this was a gesture hamas did in order to smooth president trump's visit to the middle east, and there is, as you mentioned, not a visit planned to israel during this trip. there's a big israel shaped hole in a lot of president trump's movements and dealings with the middle east. >> all right, matt bradley, great reporting. thank you. the trump administration is set to accept a luxury jet as a gift from the royal family of qatar. the boeing 747 jumbo jet will be used by president trump for official travel as the new air
12:18 pm
force one. and then be transferred to the trump presidential library foundation at the end of his term. nbc news has learned the justice department has signed off on this big gift which is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. attorney general pam bondi worked as a lobbyist for qatar before joining the trump administration. nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian joins us now from washington. this gift raising a number of ethical questions. how is the trump administration justifying accepting such a huge gift? >> reporter: well, president trump himself is saying this will save the taxpayers a lot of money. i should note i was told that career justice department ethics officials signed off on palm bondy not having to recuse herself despite her past lobbying work for the government of qatar and they also said career people in the office of legal counsel has blessed this as not a prohibition of the
12:19 pm
emoluments cause because the gift will be going to the united states government. at first it seemed like president trump would be able to use this plane after he leaves office. if that is the case, there isn't a legal issue here. there is an appearance issue,e, though. the idea that the government and the trump administration would benefit from this amazing large esfrom the government of qatar, where the trump organization run by donald trump's children is doing business deals. and they of course have a lot of demands on u.s. policies. so it's raising a lot of questions. >> ken, is there a security issue here? what are the implications of accepting a plane from a foreign government? >> that seems to be the thornier issue here. air force one has a lot of capabilities. this plane would have to be retrofitted for things like raid yoigz shield and antimissile technology. the biggest concern is it also would have to be ripped apart piece by piece to search for
12:20 pm
listening devices. even though qatar is an ally of the united states, countries spy on one another and it would be a huge boon for them to be able to listen in on the conversations of the president of the united states. the intelligence community would have to act on the assumption something is there, and that could take months if not years to look at every nook and cranny on this plane. >> ken dilanian for us, thank you. still to come, president trump orders drug makers to slash the cost of their prescription drugs, but will they? what all patients need know what all patients need know toah mom genes. she passed them down to you. but who passed them to her? good question. you can thank generations of azing women for those genes. discover their lives and what led to you with an ancestry family history membership. ♪♪ see your roots and where those stories came from with an ancestrydna kit. put them together and there you are. ♪♪ get started today at ancestry.

news daily happy monday, i'm janelle wang. within the hour, governor newsom is expected to unveil new efforts to clear encampments statewide. nbc bay area's ginger conejero saab is in san francisco with more on the governor's plans. ginger, in less than an hour, we do know that governor newsom will give jurisdictions across the state model ordinances to enforce laws on encampments. last year, the governor signed an executive order directing state agencies to develop policies not only to address encampments on state property, but also to prioritize them. just a couple months shy of the one year mark, newsom is releasing what he calls model ordinances, or starting points for local jurisdictions to create and implement programs to resolve encampments in public spaces. but he says local
12:24 pm
jurisdictions must do this with urgency and with dignity. well, newsom wants all local jurisdictions to reflect these principles in their approach one no criminal punishment. no person should face criminal punishment for sleeping outside if they are not offered shelter options. encampment policies must prioritize shelter and services, and policies must also not unduly limit local authorities to clear encampments. now, the governor released examples in these model ordinances. for example, local jurisdictions can limit the number of consecutive days that someone camps out how far they can be from sensitive locations like schools or other public spaces. and also they can dictate what constitutes reasonable notice. that's the amount of days that the notice goes out before an encampment encampment, for example, gets cleared. now we will learn much more on what the governor plans to do. he is set to speak at one this afternoon, and then we can
12:25 pm
expect local jurisdictions to give their reactions and roll out their plans as to how to implement what the governor speaks to. we will continue to cover this on air and online at nbcbayarea.com in san francisco, ginger conejero saab nbc bay area news. thank you. ginger. governor newsom's announcement comes as san jose's police chief is releasing new details on a proposal by mayor matt mahan, and it could translate to arrests for those who are unhoused. if approved, individuals will only be taken intoustody by a special police unit if they refuse shelter repeatedly. mayor mahan says under the plan, outreach teams will go to encampments to build a relationship with those who are unhoused while offering shelters. some homeless advocates disagree with the mayor's plan and fear it could do more harm than good. a high school community on the peninsula is mourning the tragic death of a football coach. this is video of a memorial at the crash site for menlo-atherton coach dylan taylor. he was hit

jr. to negotiate a deal with companies to lower prices. if they can't reach an agreement, trump says he'll direct kennedy to adopt a rule that would require u.s. prices to be tied to what other countries pay. this is similar to a policy trump proposed in his first term that never took effect because the drug industry blocked it in court. trump claims the new policy would cut drug prices by as much as 90%. experts i spoke to have questions including whether he has the legal authority to do this. you remember the biden administration negotiated drug prices under medicaid. but the policy was passed by congress, not an executive order. >> are we talking about all drugs covered under this idea of coming from the trump administration and what kind of reaction is coming from the drug makers? >> reporter: there's still some remaining medicare. medicaid and private insurance will be included.
12:38 pm
glp-1 drugs will be included. the drug industry is already pushing back on this. we have statements from astrazeneca and a few other groups who are saying they are not in support of this and pushing for the trump administration to look into things like insurance companies and middle men to go after those groups rather than looking at pharmaceutical companies over list prices. >> sounds like more to come. berkley lovelace jr., thank you. pope leo xiv is hitting the ground running as he takes over leadership of the catholic church. today, he met with thousands of journalists from around the world including our own lester holt. in his remarks, the pope called for protecting free speech and stood in solidarity with imprisoned journalists from around the world. claudio lavanga was there for all of it. talk to us about your interaction with the pope, what he told lester. i know they both have ties to chicago, and lester recently spoke with his brother. >> reporter: that's right, zinhle. this was the first opportunity
12:39 pm
as journalists had to get up close and personal with pope leo xiv. now, after that speech in which he praised the work of journalists he walked down the stage and then he greeted some of us journalists including myself, and lester, of course. he shook our hands, and then he told lester that he was pleased to hear that more people are now going to church now that there is an american pope, at least in the u.s. lester asked him whether he was going home soon, of course, he meant chicago, and he said, well, not yet. so people there will have to wait a little longer. this was also an opportunity for us to see a lighter side of the pope. after he walked off stage, there was a big round of applause. he jokingly said in english, while this applause -- while applauding at the start doesn't matter, what matters is you don't fall asleep and you applaud at the end. at the end of the meeting, people were still -- they were all awake. all applauding, and there were
12:40 pm
chants of viva il papa. long live the pope. >> he is certainly capt vasing attention. can we talk about his name? i understand he talked about why he ultimately chose the name leo. >> reporter: well, that's right. he said he's following in the footsteps of leo xiii, his predecessor. this is a pope at the end of the 19th century for the first time put sosocial juice for workers at the top of the agenda during the industrial revolution. and pope leo xiv said we're living in similar times where there is a new revolution, a digital revolution. especially with artificial intelligence, which he said poses a challenge on human dignity and labor. so this is a pope that is enjoying lessons from the past but very much looks to the present and future. >> old institution, new pope. claudio lavanga at the vatican. thanks so much. you can see more of lester' conversation tonight on a special edition of "nightly news." >> still ahead, legendary
