On the Planet Money podcast, you've seen them, those labels that say made in China or made in France. But what do they really mean? The reaction was, it can't possibly work like that. That can't possibly be right. We dig into the delightfully convoluted rules behind country of origin. What makes, say, a Chinese product Chinese? And how companies facing tariffs are getting creative. From Planet Money on NPR, wherever you get your podcasts. getting creative from Planet Money on NPR, wherever you get your podcasts. Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder with ongoing protests in Los Angeles over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and president Trump calling

up national guard troops, California governor Gavin Newsom says he has a message for the president. Stand back, rescind this absurd, illegal and immoral order. Let our military go home. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States of America with their own military. Governor Newsom speaking at a video he posted on social media Monday evening after Trump authorized an additional 2,000

National Guard members to L.A. and the Pentagon has deployed some 700 active-duty Marines. Newsome and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the White House over the deployments. Bonta says they trample on California's sovereignty. A labor leader who was arrested during last Friday's apprehension of 44 migrants in Los Angeles has been formally charged and set free, reporter Steve Futterman has more. The U.S. Attorney's Office here in L.A. accused David Huerta of one count of conspiracy to impede an officer. The incident occurred last Friday, as ICE officers were conducting raids looking for

migrants without legal status. Those raids sparked protests and confrontations with police. Huerta, who had been detained since Friday, made his first court appearance, then was released on $50,000 bond. We will have our time for justice, but we must do it in a way that we demonstrate the power of working people. Huerta says he's been in touch with some of the 44 people detained in the Friday raids and says that some of them told him that they have not yet been able to meet with attorneys. For NPR News, I'm Steve

As Terri Schulz reports, he's pushing for members to dramatically boost their spending ahead of an upcoming summit in The Hague. Secretary General Mark Rutte says the thing that keeps him up at night is the slow rate

of defense production by NATO allies compared with Russia. Speaking in London, Rutte said Russia produces as much ammunition in three months as the 32 NATO countries together produce in a year. He called for a quantum leap in collective defense. We need a 400% increase in air and missile defense. Our militaries also need thousands more armored vehicles and tanks. Millions more artillery shells. Allies are expected to agree to boost military budgets to 5% of their GDP when they meet June 25th.

This is the figure President Trump has demanded, although Rutte also says it's necessary. For NPR News, I'm Terri Schultz in Brussels. This is NPR News, I'm Terri Schultz in Brussels.

Blake Lively's legal complaint against Justin Baldoni coincided with an article in the New York Times detailing the PR and crisis management machine working on behalf of Baldoni. In response, Baldoni filed a defamation suit against Lively, her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, and the Times. A federal judge in New York has now dismissed that suit, stating Baldoni's legal team failed to show actual malice on behalf of Lively and that the Times

reviewed the available evidence and, quote, reported what it believed to have happened. Lawyers for Lively sent a statement saying the opinion was a quote total victory and a complete vindication and PR has reached out to Bell Doni's legal team for comment. Andrew Limbong in PR News. Florida Panthers now lead hockey's best of seven Stanley Cup final after the first games went into double overtime the Panthers routed the Edmonton Oilers last night. On the Planet Money podcast the economic world we've been living in for decades went into double overtime the Panthers routed the Edmonton Oilers last night.
