Pope Leo XIV Celebrates His First Mass As Pontiff A Day After His Election

Pope Leo XIV has celebrated his first Mass, a day after his historic election as the first U.S.-born pope in the church’s 2,000-year history. The election of cardinal Robert Prevost as the new pontiff overcame the traditional prohibition against a pope from the United States. On Friday, wearing white vestments, Leo processed into the Sistine Chapel and blessed the cardinals as he approached the altar and Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement” behind it. It was in the same frescoed chapel that the Chicago-born missionary was elected the 267th pope the previous day. Meanwhile, congratulations are pouring in from world leaders and statesmen as Leo begins his papacy.

Top U.S. officials are set to meet with a high-level Chinese delegation this weekend in Switzerland. The administration on Tuesday announced the first major talks between the two nations since President Donald Trump sparked a trade war with stiff tariffs on imports. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will meet with their counterparts in Geneva in the most-senior known conversations between the two countries in months. The Chinese Commerce Ministry confirmed the meeting, saying they agreed to have contact “after fully considering global expectations, Chinese interests and calls from U.S. businesses and consumers.” It comes amid growing U.S. market worry over the impact of the tariffs.

Utah Dentists Prepare To See More Tooth Decay As Statewide Fluoride Ban Takes Effect

Utah dentists say they’re bracing for an increase in tooth decay among the state’s most vulnerable people. Utah's first-in-the-nation fluoride ban took effect Wednesday. It could be followed closely by a ban in Florida. The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Stephanie Gricius, said she does not dispute that fluoride can have some benefits but thinks people should not be given it by the government without their informed consent. Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed the law against the recommendation of many dentists and national health organizations. They warn removing fluoride will harm tooth development, especially in young patients without regular access to dental care. People can add fluoride supplements to their water at home, but the cost may be prohibitive for some.

Biden Blames Harris' Loss On Sexism And Racism While Rejecting Concerns About His Age

Former President Joe Biden says he's responsible for Donald Trump's victory last fall, but he attributes Kamala Harris' loss, at least in part, to sexism and racism. Biden, who left office in January, addressed the Democrats' disastrous 2024 election, concerns about his age and Trump's divisive leadership during a Thursday interview on ABC's “The View." The 82-year-old Democrat said he has intentionally avoided speaking out publicly until this week to give the Republican president more than 100 days in office without his interference, as is typically the tradition following a change in the White House. Asked about the last election, Biden said he was surprised by the role that gender and race played in the contest. “They went the sexist route,” Biden said of criticism that “a woman couldn't lead the country and a woman of mixed race.” He added: “I was in charge, and he won, so I take responsibility." Biden has largely stepped away from national politics since leaving the White House. He's not expected to play a central role in Democratic affairs as the party turns to a new generation of leadership, although he acknowledged on Thursday that he has maintained regular contact with Harris and has offered his guidance on her political future. “She’s got a difficult decision to make about what she’s going to do. I hope she stays engaged,” Biden said, declining to share his specific advice. Biden rejected concerns about his cognitive decline prompted by a disastrous debate performance last June. He also declined to criticize the Democratic leaders who privately pressed him to abandon his campaign. “The only reason I got out of the race was because I didn’t want to have a divided Democratic Party," he said, adding that the broader party didn't buy into concerns about his age following the “terrible” debate performance “but the Democratic leadership and some of the very significant contributors did.” Thursday's appearance also marked Biden's first joint interview with former first lady Jill Biden since leaving Washington. She rejected those who believe she created a protective cocoon around her husband while in office to protect him from scrutiny about his age. “It was very hurtful especially from some of our so-called friends," she said of the criticism. “I was with Joe day and night … and I did not create a cocoon around him," she continued. “You saw him in the Oval Office. You saw him making speeches. He wasn’t hiding somewhere.” Meanwhile, the former president did not hold back when the conversation turned to Trump's job performance. “He’s had the worst 100 days any president has ever had," Biden said. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump Agrees To Cut Tariffs On UK Autos, Steel And Aluminum In A Planned Trade Deal With Britain

President Donald Trump has agreed to cut tariffs on U.K. autos, steel and aluminum in a planned trade deal with Britain, which would buy more American beef and streamline its customs process for goods from the United States.. Thursday's announcement provides a political victory for U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and a degree of validation for Trump’s claims his turbulent approach on trade may be able to rebalance the global economy on his preferred terms. Yet the terms of the deal have yet to be completed so it can be signed. The Republican president says the final details “are being written up.” Trump says the agreement would lead to more beef and ethanol exports to the U.K.
