Primary care push by CVS meets resistance
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up DEALS Advertisement TV giant Nexstar agrees to acquire a rival, Tegna, for $6.2 billion Advertisement Local TV colossus Nexstar said Tuesday that it had struck an agreement to acquire a rival TV company, Tegna, for $6.2 billion, a deal that would further consolidate station ownership across the United States. If the deal closes, Nexstar and its partners will oversee 265 television stations in 44 states and Washington, D.C., cementing its position as the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. The Irving, Texas, company says it controls or provides services to 201 stations, reaching roughly 39 percent of television households in the United States. The deal requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission, which oversees the transfer of broadcast TV licenses. Tegna owns roughly 64 TV stations and overlaps with Nexstar in roughly 35 market areas. That overlap could invite regulatory scrutiny, as opponents of local TV consolidation have argued that fewer owners make for a less competitive market for viewers and advertisers. Perry Sook, the CEO of Nexstar, appeared to anticipate some of that criticism in a statement announcing the deal, saying the acquisition of Tegna would allow the company to better compete with tech giants like Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and Alphabet's Google. He also praised President Trump, whose choice for FCC chair, Brendan Carr, must authorize license transfers. — NEW YORK TIMES Advertisement RETAIL Home Depot's sales improve as customers stay focused on smaller projects A customer at a Home Depot store in Chicago. Scott Olson/Getty Home Depot's sales improved during its fiscal second quarter as consumers remained focused on smaller projects amid cost concerns and economic uncertainty, but its performance missed Wall Street's expectations. The Atlanta-based company also said shoppers should expect modest price increases in some categories as a result of rising tariff costs, though they won't be broad-based. Company executives told analysts during the earnings call after the results were released that more than 50 percent of its products are sourced domestically and wouldn't be subject to any tariffs. In May, Home Depot said it didn't expect to raise prices because of tariffs, saying it had spent years diversifying the sources for the goods on its shelves. But Billy Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising at Home Depot, told analysts on Tuesday that tariff rates are significantly higher than they were when it released earnings results in May. Revenue for the three months ended August 3 climbed to $45.28 billion from $43.18 billion, but fell short of the $45.41 billion that analysts polled by FactSet were looking for. — ASSOCIATED PRESS ECONOMY D.C. unemployment rate is the highest in the US for the third straight month Commuters crossed Pennsylvania Avenue near the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. Al Drago/Bloomberg The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Washington, D.C., was the highest in the nation for the third straight month, according to new data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. D.C.'s jobless rate reached 6 percent in July, a reflection of the mass layoffs of federal workers, ushered in by President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, earlier this year. An overall decline in international tourism — which is a main driver of D.C.'s income — is also expected to have an impact on the climbing unemployment rate in the District. Neighboring states also saw an uptick in unemployment rates in July — with Maryland at 3.4 percent (up from 3.3 percent) and Virginia at 3.6 percent (up from 3.5 percent), according to the state-by-state jobless figures. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, federal workers across government agencies have been either laid off or asked to voluntarily resign from their positions. Those actions have drawn litigation across the federal government by labor unions and advocacy groups. In July, the Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump administration plans to downsize the federal workforce further, despite warnings that critical government services will be lost and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be out of their jobs. — ASSOCIATED PRESS Advertisement CRYPTOCURRENCY Wyoming becomes the first to launch a state-issued stablecoin Wyoming launched its long-promised stablecoin, designed to offer instant transactions and reduced fees for consumers and businesses, in the latest effort by the Cowboy State to attract digital asset businesses. The Frontier Stable Token, or FRNT, will be backed by dollars and short-term Treasuries and is meant to track the value of the US currency one-for-one. The Wyoming Stable Token Commission is working with LayerZero to issue the tokens and plans for the coins to be overcollateralized by 2 percent. The reserves backing FRNT are managed by Franklin Advisers with financial audit and monthly attestations provided by The Network Firm. The stablecoin will be available on the the Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana blockchains. Wyoming is the first state to issue its own stablecoin after announcing its plans last year. The launch comes shortly after President Trump signed the first federal bill to regulate stablecoins, a watershed moment expected to encourage everyone from large technology players to highly regulated firms like banks to consider launching their own coins. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement TRADE No tariff exemption for European wine and spirits, at least for now Bottles of St-Remy French brandy sit on a store shelf on April 7 in Pasadena, Calif Mario Tama/Getty European Union negotiators have been arguing for weeks that America should not apply a 15 percent tariff to wine and spirits and instead maintain a long-standing tradition of keeping alcohol tariffs at zero on both sides of the Atlantic. But as the United States and the 27-nation bloc move closer to a final text of their recently struck trade agreement, it looks increasingly unlikely that alcohol will catch a break. Irish whiskey, Italian prosecco, French cognac, and all other alcohol imports from the European Union will still face tariffs for now, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that the two sides did not carve out those products in their initial deal. The written draft of the trade agreement is still under negotiation and isn't final. But this deep into the process, the reality that no exemption has been agreed to does not bode well for the alcohol industry. For many spirits producers in Europe, America has a major — if not the single most important — customer base. — NEW YORK TIMES

CNBC Daily Open: Not even fire extinguishers can escape the Trump administration's tariffs
Even as tariff-related ruction appears to be settling down for the summer, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is still reshaping global trade and industry. After the Trump administration hinted it could be open to Nvidia exporting more powerful chips to China after their revenue-sharing agreement, the semiconductor darling was reported to be developing a new chip for Beijing. And Intel's bounty from the CHIPS Act, formalized by the previous administration under Joe Biden, might come with a price tag of giving the current U.S. government a stake in the company. Meanwhile, the effects of tariffs continue to creep into everyday life. The costs incurred by fires in the U.S. — think of the tragic Los Angeles wildfires in January or the one near the Grand Canyon just last month — are already growing, not just in terms of the physical damage but also the price of insurance premiums. And now that Trump has added fire extinguishers to a list of steel products that will face a 50% import tariff, even the price of relatively more benign and contained fires, such as those you start to burn photographs of your ex-partner, will be more expensive to put out. That's a truly protest-worthy tariff. Trump expands reach of steel and aluminum tariffs. The duties, which impose a 50% charge on imports, will include more than 400 additional product categories, such as fire extinguishers, machinery and construction materials. Nvidia says it is evaluating 'a variety of products.' The chipmaker is working on a new artificial intelligence chip for China that will be based on its Blackwell architecture, making it more powerful than the currently available H20, reported Reuters. Intel equity in return for U.S. government funding. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Tuesday that the White House will provide the chipmaker with cash, which was promised under the CHIPS Act, in exchange for "an equity stake for our money." Technology stocks weigh down U.S. markets. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.46% on Tuesday as shares of Palantir sank more than 9%.

Trump promised Ukraine 'security guarantees': Here's what they could look like The most significant development from Monday's talks between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders was Trump's statement that security guarantees for Ukraine would be "provided" by European countries in "coordination with the U.S." French President Emmanuel Macron hinted Tuesday that the "first security guarantee we are working on — and it is the most important — is a strong Ukrainian army, composed of several hundred thousand men, well equipped, with defense systems and higher standards."

Rubio to head commission on Ukraine security guarantees
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead a newly formed joint commission that will work on forging a security guarantees proposal for Ukraine, an administration official told The Hill's sister network NewsNation on Tuesday. The commission will be made up of U.S., Ukrainian, European and NATO officials. The agreement for the commission came during Monday's White House meeting between President Trump and the seven European leaders who visited Washington. The news of Rubio as the commission's head was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The outlet reported Monday night that Ukraine's security assurances will be made up of four parts: air defense, a military presence, tracking the cessation of fighting and armaments, citing European officials familiar with the matter. Rubio, who is also Trump's national security advisor, was one of three U.S. officials to participate in a closed-door meeting with the Russian delegation on Friday in Alaska, headed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump talked to Putin over the phone on Monday after the meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. Neither Zelensky nor European officials were in the room when the president spoke with the Kremlin leader. 'I didn't do it in front of them — I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin. I wouldn't do that, because they have not had the warmest relations,' Trump told Fox News's 'Fox & Friends' on Tuesday. The call lasted for around 40 minutes, with the president telling Putin that the administration will set up a meeting between the Kremlin leader and Zelensky, which Russia has so far refused to commit to. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Kremlin is not turning down talks with Ukraine and added that Trump has an invitation to come to Moscow. Trump, who has pressed to help end the Russia-Ukraine war, one that has been raging for about three-and-a-half years, floated on Tuesday providing air support for Kyiv as part of security guarantees. 'We're willing to help them with things, especially, probably, if you talk about by air because nobody has stuff we have,' the president said. The Russian foreign minister warned NATO leaders against summoning NATO forces to Ukraine as part of a peace deal.
