President Donald Trump personally made the decision to abandon plans to impose more sanctions on Russia for supporting Syria's chemical weapons attack on civilians, according to three senior administration officials and a source familiar with the discussions.The first senior administration source said the Trump administration informed the Russian government there won't be an additional round of sanctions. The official said the call was made to the Russian Embassy on Sunday. They said the confusion caused by comments made by UN Ambassador Nikki Haley in a Sunday show interview when she said new sanctions were coming made the call necessary. 655

Prenatal exposure to ambient air pollution was associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder, a new study finds. Pregnant women in Vancouver who were exposed to the highest level of environmental nitric oxide, an airborne, traffic-related pollutant, were more likely to give birth to children later diagnosed with autism, the researchers say.Autism spectrum disorder, a developmental disability, is characterized by problems with communication and social interaction with accompanying repetitive behavior patterns.Lief Pagalan, lead author of the study and a member of the faculty of health sciences at Simon Fraser University, cautions that the study, published Monday in the medical journal JAMA Pediatrics, showed only an association between prenatal exposure to nitric oxide and autism rates. It did not prove that air pollution caused autism.Experts emphasize that the exact causes of autism remain unknown, and some say the researchers in this study did not analyze every potential risk factor.Still, the research "adds to the growing concern that there may be no safe levels of exposure to air pollution," Pagalan wrote in an email."Not only did we have access to rich data, enabling us to develop one of the largest studies to date, but we were also able to conduct this study in a city with relatively lower levels of air pollution," he said. 1375

President Donald Trump has reportedly signed off on a .8 trillion COVID-19 relief package.According to CNN, two sources with knowledge of the decision said the offer would be presented to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.According to the Associated Press, a GOP aide familiar said Pelosi's most recent public offer was about .2 trillion.Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Pelosi spoke for more than 30 minutes Friday afternoon, the AP reported.But according to Pelosi's spokesman, the newest offer doesn't "include an agreement on a national strategy for testing, tracing and other efforts to contain the spread of the virus," the New York Times reported.News of Trump signing off on a new stimulus relief plan comes just days after announcing he wasn't negotiating for a new COVID-19 relief bill until after the elections. 832

President Donald Trump cast doubt on his planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will occur on schedule, saying Tuesday the talks "may not work out for June 12."He was speaking alongside his South Korean counterpart, who is in Washington to shore up confidence ahead of the historic meeting.Trump said preparations were "moving along" for the diplomatic encounter with Kim, but suggested there may not be enough time for the two sides to agree on the parameters for talks."If it doesn't happen, maybe it will happen later," he said.In his meetings with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Trump hoped to gain clarity on North Korea's nuclear intentions.Some US officials believe Moon oversold Pyongyang's promises when his government relayed Kim's invitation to Trump for talks in March. At the time his envoy said North Korea was "committed to denuclearization," but recent statements from the North have cast doubts on Kim's willingness to negotiate away his nuclear weapons.That in turn has led to skepticism the summit between Trump and Kim, scheduled for June 12 in Singapore, will proceed. White House aides have grown pessimistic in recent days that the talks will occur, even as Trump has shown no signs he's ready to withdraw.Moon, who has urged a diplomatic path in the belief it could forestall war, hopes to bolster confidence that the Singapore meeting will be a success. He met with Kim himself last month to great fanfare along the Korean Demilitarized Zone, a historic encounter that Trump hopes to replicate in his own talks.Those plans were complicated last week when North Korea issued a series of harsh statements condemning joint US-South Korea military exercises and threatening to pull out of the Trump summit if the US continues to call for nuclear abandonment.US officials were prepared to press Moon on the recent shift in tone, hoping to determine whether it is a signal of changing intentions or whether the North is simply trying to test Trump's willingness to negotiate ahead of the summit."We believe there is a 99.9% chance the North Korea-US summit will be held as scheduled," Chung Eui-yong, Moon's national security adviser, told reporters on the flight from Seoul to Washington. "But we're just preparing for many different possibilities."The two leaders were set to meet in the Oval Office at noon before joining a larger working lunch with aides. There was no joint news conference on the schedule, and Moon was only expected to be at the White House for roughly two hours.He was expected to meet with some of Trump's aides earlier in the day, however, as questions about the administration's approach to the summit continue to mount.National security adviser John Bolton, who has been outspoken in his hawkish views toward North Korea, drew Pyongyang's ire when he suggested Trump use a so-called "Libya model" to rid the country of its nuclear weapons. The US brokered a deal with Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2003 to abandon his nuclear weapons, but he was overthrown and killed in 2011.The Libya suggestion raised eyebrows in Seoul, where Bolton's comments were deemed unhelpful at best and deeply damaging to the potential for diplomacy at worst. Trump later clarified that he wasn't pursuing the Libya model in North Korea, but speculated things could end poorly for Kim if he doesn't agree to a deal.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has meanwhile adopted a more diplomatic approach, saying an agreement with Kim to abandon nuclear weapons could lead to economic assistance. Pompeo has met Kim twice in North Korea but didn't emerge with any specific commitments toward dismantling the nuclear program."Plans continue to go forward for a summit. We remain open to it, we remain hopeful," Vice President Mike Pence said on Fox Radio Tuesday. "But let me very clear: nothing has changed about the policy of the United States of America. There have been no concessions offered and none given."The-CNN-Wire 3968

PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. — A Kansas City area family is celebrating a big win. They paid off more than 0,000 in student loan debt in a little over six years.Ashlyn Yarnell accumulated the debt in the process of becoming a family law attorney."That was my calling. That's what I knew I wanted to do, and that was the path to get there," Yarnell said.Because she attended college and law school on the heels of the recession, a lot of scholarship money dried up, leaving student loans as the only option."I did everything I could think of. I worked jobs, I lived with friends, lived with family when I could," she said.By the time Yarnell graduated, her debt total came to 0,500.Paying it all off seemed daunting at the time, but Yarnell and her husband, Drew, immediately got to work. They shared advice for others starting their debt journeys.Study your debt"It's like tackling an opponent. You've got to study that, you've got to learn about all the options you have to get rid of it," Ashlyn Yarnell said.She created a spreadsheet to track the balances of her loans and the total paid each month."We had a plan right out of school, how many years it was going to take, how we were going to handle this," Drew Yarnell added.Flexibility with that plan is important, as Drew said it took them slightly longer than they anticipated to pay off the debt.Consider refinancingWhen Ashlyn began paying off her loans, the interest rates were all over the map."Some were a low 2 percent interest rate," she said. "Some were as high as 10 percent."By refinancing, she was able to get the average rate down from 6.8 percent to 4 percent.Those considering refinancing student loans now should keep in mind payments on federal loans have been suspended interest-free through the end of the year."You really need to think twice about refinancing a federal student loan because you lose those benefits," said Brian Walsh, manager of financial planning for SoFi, the personal finance company Ashlyn used for refinancing.The Yarnells also refinanced their home in the spring to help with final loan payments.According to Walsh, there are some important factors to consider before taking that step. Look at the closing costs first."How many months is it going to take me to recoup those costs, and am I going to live in this house long enough? Otherwise refinancing your home might not be a good idea even if it is a lower interest rate right off the bat," he said.Celebrate small milestonesAt the start of the couple's repayment journey, the daily interest rate was ."Every day I imagined handing my lender a bill in addition to everything I already owed, and that was unacceptable to me," Ashlyn said.She and Drew celebrated as they were able to knock down that daily interest rate, eventually reducing it to just ."You don't have to wait until the very end to enjoy knocking off a certain number," Drew Yarnell said, "If you get to a milestone, I think it's important to celebrate it on the way."Be sure to set small goals within the long-term plan."You break it up into microgoals, and it helps you stick to it and kind of hit the reset button once you hit that goal a couple months down the road," Walsh said.The Yarnells reached their finish line in May, when Ashlyn submitted her last student loan payment."I was screenshotting everything. My husband was taking pictures," she said, "And there were not even tears, it was sobs of relief."With interest factored in, the total came to nearly 4,000.The couple wanted to take a trip to celebrate, but COVID-19 interrupted those plans. Instead, Ashlyn wants Drew to pick out something for himself since he came along on the debt repayment journey with no complaints."He is a total team player," she said.The Yarnells also started education funds for their two sons, Charlie and Jack.Here are some other tips from SoFi for paying down debt:Figure out your monthly spendingUse a budgeting app to stay on trackConsult an expert if developing a plan on your own is too difficultDon't be afraid to talk about your debtThis story originally reported by Cat Reid on kshb.com. 4126
