President Donald Trump acknowledged problems with the reflecting pool in Washington, DC, shortly after a $14.2 million renovation intended to turn the water blue. He blamed vandalism for issues like algae growth and paint peeling, while officials worked to clean and restore the pool.
Key Facts
The reflecting pool between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial was renovated for $14.2 million.

Poland has decided to take back its highest honor from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky because he approved naming a Ukrainian army unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a group linked to World War II massacres of Poles. This disagreement could harm relations between Poland and Ukraine and may help Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to paint Ukraine as connected to Nazis.
Key Facts
President Zelensky approved renaming a Ukrainian military unit to honor the UPA, a nationalist group.
The UPA was involved in killing tens of thousands of Polish civilians during World War II.
Poland's President Karol Nawrocki revoked Ukraine’s highest honor, the Order of the White Eagle, given previously to Zelensky.

The Federal Reserve, under new Chair Kevin Warsh, is reducing the amount of information it shares about future interest rate decisions. This change could lead to more unpredictable markets and slightly higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses.
Key Facts
Kevin Warsh is the new chair of the Federal Reserve.
The Fed used to provide detailed statements about interest rate decisions; now those statements are shorter.
The Fed no longer offers "forward guidance," which means it doesn't give clear hints about its future actions.
This approach aims to reduce market dependence on Fed signals, which Warsh believes are most useful during crises or downturns.
Experts warn that less guidance may increase ups and downs in stock and bond prices.
As a result, interest rates for loans like mortgages could rise a little, by about a quarter of a percentage point.
After the Fed’s recent meeting, stock prices fell and Treasury yields increased.
Warsh’s communication style is compared to that of former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan, who kept markets uncertain about future moves.
