The selling continues on Wall Street. I'm Dave Anthony. Fox News, not as big as yesterday, but the Dow is down now almost 300 points. It's plunged more than 2,000 so far this month on concerns about the economy related to President Trump's tariffs on imports and inflation. Something he'll talk to business leaders about later today in Fox's Peter Ducey reports from the White House. When you look at this big picture, President Trump has much, much better job security as somebody that never needs to run for re-election again.
than these CEOs have because they have to answer to shareholders and to boards. And so later on today, coming for some reassurances, are the leaders of IBM, NHB, and Intel and Qualcomm. Later today, the House plans a vote on a spending plan trying to prevent a government shutdown before a Friday deadline. I don't think there's going to be a shutdown. I think we are going to get there. Republican Congressman Scott Perry tells Fox Business. It's the first time that we're actually cutting taxes.
and freezing spending in my time here, it is the beginning of dismantling this oversized government that is misspending taxpayer money. Democrats oppose that. And there's a Republican who plans to vote no, thinking there's too much spending still. Thomas Massey. President Trump threatened untruth social to primary the Kentucky Republican out of office. Now, if there's one more GOP no vote today, the bill would not pass. How willing is Ukraine to make concessions to end the war with Russia?
That's being discussed now at a meeting in Saudi Arabia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio leading the U.S. delegation talking to Ukrainian officials after similar talks last month with Russia. And before this round of negotiations, Ukraine launched a barrage of drones, hundreds of them into Russia. Russian authorities say 74 drones bound for the capital of Moscow were shot down, but the debris damaged seven apartments in a residential building, causing injury and death. Fox's Jonathan Savage. Three people were killed.

All right, back to Wall Street. As the Dow now drops 348 points, continuing a March sell-off, the Nasdaq is actually on the rise, up 30, coming off its worst day since September 2022. For the S&P 500, it is a 20-point decline. Do you know what today is? A COVID-aversary.
It was on this date five years ago the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus, which spread fast from China, a global pandemic and there is a lawsuit related to that. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey says he may begin seizing Chinese assets across the U.S. after his state won a more than $24 billion lawsuit against Beijing over the COVID pandemic that originated in Wuhan.
The Republican said in a statement that could include farmland in the U.S. owned by the communist government. The threat follows China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs saying this week it does not recognize the U.S. federal judge's ruling siding with Missouri. Tom Graham, Fox News, Utah.
is about to do something no other state has. Republican Governor Spencer Cox says he will sign legislation that bars cities and towns from deciding whether to add fluoride to their water. The CDC says fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear. And it says it prevents about 25% of tooth
decay. State lawmakers who pushed for the ban said putting fluoride in water is too expensive. Its sponsor acknowledged it has benefits, but she said it was an issue of individual choice not to have it in the water. The ban comes weeks after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has expressed skepticism about fluoride in water, was sworn into office. Lisa LaSara, Fox News.
