British Prime Minister Keir Starmer broke the norm when he handed President Donald Trump an invitation for a second state visit.
The pomp begins on Wednesday, and leadership across the pond is making no secret of its intention to woo President Trump. But there’s more on the docket than making nice – and more at stake, too.
What does the visit mean for both the U.S. And the UK?

PBS News Hour - Science - Economic fallout mounts as Trump halts near-finished wind power project
Last month, the Trump administration abruptly halted construction on a nearly completed $6 billion, 65-turbine wind farm off the coast of New England, known as Revolution Wind. The holdup has put thousands out of work and raises big questions about not just the future of this project, but similar efforts across the eastern seaboard.

PBS News Hour - Art Beat - A look at the life, career and activism of legendary actor Robert Redford
Robert Redford, a screen legend, filmmaker, environmentalist and tireless champion of independent voices in cinema, died Tuesday at 89. Revered for his magnetic presence on screen in classics like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "All the President’s Men," Redford’s legacy is as much about art as it is about integrity. Jeffrey Brown has this remembrance.

Marketplace All-in-One - The cost of GOP cuts to coal royalties
Wyoming made billions from coal mining over the last 50 years, funding the government, schools, roads, parks. But President Trump’s major spending bill, passed in July, gives mining companies a break on royalty fees — leaving state budgets lean. In this episode, easing coal fees comes at a price. Plus: Non-store retail spending saw double-digit year-over-year growth, small businesses suffer as they wait for tariff clarity, and stock investors basically ignore all the bad economic headlines.

The Gist - Garrett Graff: “Russia Sought Division More Than Victory”
Garrett Graff, host of the Long Shadow podcast, argues that Russia’s 2016 interference was about sowing distrust in U.S. democracy—weakening Clinton if she won, or destabilizing the system either way. He revisits the Access Hollywood–email leak overlap, the forgotten U.S. warning about Russian meddling, and how other nations have since borrowed the playbook. Also: JD Vance’s opportunistic definition of “the far left,” an Oval Office push for troops in Memphis, and a Booker–Kash Patel shouting match. Produced by Corey Wara

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Debunking the Left’s Series of Lies Following Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
Less than a week after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the Left has incessantly pushed several falsehoods about the horrific death of this young conservative leader and Turning Point USA co-founder.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination is NOT conservatives’ "George Floyd moment."
Not only does Kirk himself, a devout Christian, husband, and father of two, have nothing in common with Floyd but after his death, his followers channeled their anger toward fostering greater community and spirituality, not burning down historic churches, police precincts, and federal courthouses.
Kirk’s death is not the result of “Right on Right” violence.
Bullet casings from the scene of the crime had anti-fascist phrases like “Hey fascist! CATCH!” and “Bella Ciao” written on them.
The suspect in Kirk’s assassination, Tyler Robinson, was in a romantic relationship with his roommate, a biological male who identifies as a girl, according to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.
“So, the Left seized that moment and tried to push through agendas—and were successful—that otherwise would not have happened. Nobody's trying to do that now.
"They're trying to commemorate Charlie Kirk by one positive way, and that is everybody go out and register to vote. Register as many people as you have. Register more people that are young and conservative than has ever been registered before. And then turn out in the November midterms in one year. And then do the impossible. Overturn historical precedent and elect a conservative House and Senate to empower a conservative Charlie Kirk agenda.”

WSJ What’s News - Why Tariff Bills Are Catching Online Shoppers by Surprise
P.M. Edition for Sept. 16. Last month, the Trump administration changed a rule that meant that packages worth $800 or less were subject to tariffs. WSJ reporter Esther Fung discusses how that’s playing out for sellers, consumers and shipping companies. Plus, House Republicans have unveiled a spending bill that, if passed, would prevent an Oct. 1 government shutdown. But, as Journal congressional reporter Siobhan Hughes says, they have ignored Democrats’ demands, setting the stage for intense negotiations. And Utah prosecutors announced seven charges against Tyler Robinson in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk, saying they will seek the death penalty. Alex Ossola hosts.
