Trump news at a glance: Elon Musk rift deepens as president says ‘poor guy's got a problem'
Donald Trump appeared in no mood to patch things up with former top adviser Elon Musk on Friday, doubling down on his new hostility towards the Tesla and Space X tycoon with a number of disparaging statements. The US president appeared to deny reports of a potential peacemaking phone call with Musk, telling ABC News he was 'not particularly' interested in talking to his former confidant right now. The president also spoke to CNN, saying: 'I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem.' Trump told Politico that the relationship with Musk was 'going very well, never done better'. Here are the key Trump administration stories of the day: Donald Trump appeared to dismiss a peace overture from his former close political ally Elon Musk, calling him someone who had 'lost his mind' as the extraordinary falling out between the two men looked set to continue. The US president and the richest person in the world – who had been tasked with slashing the federal government – fell out in spectacular fashion on Thursday in a series of escalating social media posts that roiled the political world. Read the full story Kilmar Ábrego García – the man whom the Trump administration mistakenly deported from Maryland to El Salvador in March – returned to the US on Friday to face criminal charges. In a press briefing, the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, said a federal grand jury in Tennessee had indicted the 29-year-old father on counts of illegally smuggling undocumented people as well as conspiracy to commit that crime. Read the full story The US supreme court on Friday permitted the so-called 'department of government efficiency' (Doge), a key player in Donald Trump's drive to slash the federal workforce, broad access to the personal information of millions of Americans in Social Security Administration data systems while a legal challenge plays out. The court's brief, unsigned order did not provide a rationale for siding with Doge. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented. Read the full story The US economy added 139,000 jobs in May, a slowdown compared with recent months as American businesses cope with uncertainty around Donald Trump's continuing trade war. Read the full story A staffer for Missouri Republican senator Eric Schmitt was previously fired from Ron DeSantis's unsuccessful presidential campaign after making a video containing neo-Nazi imagery, and later peddled far-right conspiracy theories in a Marco Rubio-linked thinktank. Read the full story A Republican representative is facing a widespread backlash after saying that a Sikh should not have conducted a prayer in the US House. Mary Miller, an Illinois representative, on Friday published – then deleted – a post saying that Giani Singh, a Sikh Granthi from southern New Jersey, should not have delivered the House's morning prayer. Read the full story Enrique Tarrio, the former national leader of the far-right Proud Boys group, and four other members convicted of orchestrating the deadly 6 January 2021 US Capitol attack are suing the federal government for allegedly violating their rights. Russia is at war with Britain, the US is no longer a reliable ally and the UK has to respond by becoming more cohesive and more resilient, according to a former White House adviser. Senior US administration officials will meet with a Chinese delegation in London on Monday for the next round of trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing, Donald Trump said on Friday. An event by the International Pride Orchestra this week swung from classical Gershwin favourites to choral patriotism to high drag in a rebuff to Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center and its subsequent snub of the LBGTQ+ ensemble.

Neo Performance Materials stock surges on buyback plan
-- Shares of Neo Performance Materials Inc (TSX:NEO) climbed 7.1% following the announcement of a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) and the commencement of trading on the OTCQX market. The Toronto-based company, specializing in advanced rare earth materials, revealed that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has accepted its notice to repurchase up to 3,297,296 of its common shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float as of May 30, 2025. The buyback program is set to begin on June 11, 2025, and will extend until June 10, 2026, or until the bid is complete. Purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems, with the price paid being the market price at the time of purchase. Shares acquired under the bid will be cancelled, potentially benefiting remaining shareholders by increasing their equity interest in the company. Neo Performance Materials believes that its shares have been trading at prices that do not fully reflect the company's value in relation to its business and future prospects. The company's management considers the repurchase of shares an attractive investment and a means to deliver value to its shareholders. In addition to the share buyback announcement, Neo has also commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "NOPMF" on the same day. The OTCQX Best Market is the top tier of OTC Markets, which includes 12,000 U.S. and global securities. This move is expected to improve visibility and access for U.S. investors and comes as part of Neo's efforts to expand its shareholder base and support the growing demand for critical materials used in electrification and modern technologies. Neo's CEO, Rahim Suleman, commented on the company's strategic developments, stating, "We are pleased to begin trading on OTCQX, which enhances Neo's visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors. As a global leader in advanced rare earth materials, with a strong balance sheet and a growing magnetics business in Europe, we are well-positioned to support the accelerating demand for critical materials in electrification and other modern technologies. Trading on OTCQX provides an additional platform to broaden our shareholder base as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities and drive long-term value."
