Our results and outlook
reflect these headwinds, Tim Wentworth, Walgreens CEO, via press release.
Wentworth elaborated in an interview with CNBC.
The consumer is absolutely stunned by
the absolute prices of things, and the
fact that some of them may not be
inflating doesnât actually change their
resistance to the current pricing, Tim Wentworth, Walgreens CEO, via CNBC.
On a call with analysts, Wentworth said that Walgreens' strategy will have to "include the closure of a significant portion of these underperforming stores.".
75% of our stores drive 100% of our

US Water System May Be , Vulnerable to Cyberattack, by China, Russia and Iran.
CNBC reports that the United States
water system has been the target of a series
of cyberattacks over the past few years. .
In response, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been forced to issue an alert warning
that 70% of water systems do not comply
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
According to the EPA, some have âalarming
cybersecurity vulnerabilities,â including
unchanged default passwords and former
employees who retain access to vital systems.
In February, the FBI issued a warning to
Congress that Chinese hackers have embedded
themselves into the U.S. cyber infrastructure. .
Those hackers have targeted water treatment
plants, the electrical grid, transportation
systems and other vital infrastructure.

European Union Announces , Higher Tariffs on Chinese EVs.
On June 12, the EU said it will
impose higher tariffs on imports of
Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), CNBC reports. .
The increase in tariffs is the result of a
probe launched by the EU in October.
According to the EU, the Chinese imports benefit "heavily from unfair subsidies" and threaten "economic injury" to European EV producers.
The influx of subsidized Chinese imports
at artificially low prices therefore
presents a threat of clearly foreseeable
and imminent injury to EU industry, European Commission, via statement.
A 38.1% tariff will be imposed on battery electric vehicle producers who refused to cooperate with the bloc's investigation.
A 21% tariff will be implemented for carmakers in China who complied
but have yet to be "sampled.".
On June 11, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce called the higher
tariffs a "protectionist act.".
The findings disclosed in the EU
ruling lack factual and legal basis, Spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, via statement.
This is a naked protectionist act,
creating and escalating trade
frictions, and 'destroying fair
competition' in the name of
'maintaining fair competition.' , Spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, via statement.
This move by the EU not only damages the
legitimate rights and interests of Chinaâs
electric vehicle industry, but will also disrupt
and distort the global automotive industry

In February of this year, Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and two of its co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.
The suit alleged that OpenAI initially worked
to develop artificial general intelligence
"for the benefit of humanity" but later strayed
from that goal to become a for-profit entity. .
Musk, who had a hand in launching
OpenAI, was suing "for breach of contract
and fiduciary duty," CNBC reports.
In March, experts told CNBC that the suit had a murky legal foundation because there was no formal written agreement signed by each party.
On June 11, Musk dropped the lawsuit.
It was dismissed without prejudice.
His decision to drop the lawsuit comes
one day after he threatened Apple over
its new partnership with OpenAI.
His decision to drop the lawsuit comes
one day after he threatened Apple over

He called the partnership "an unacceptable security violation" since Apple has
"no clue what's actually going on.".
Itâs patently absurd that Apple isnât
smart enough to make their own
AI, yet is somehow capable of
ensuring that OpenAI will protect
your security & privacy!, Elon Musk, via X.
Musk went on to say that if Apple
"integrates OpenAI at the OS level," the company's devices will be banned at his businesses.

The new app will be called Passwords, Engadget reports.
The app will be revealed at the
Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
While Apple already offers password
services via the iCloud Keychain.
it can be tedious to find
or change passwords with it.
A dedicated passwords app would make the whole process easier and likely encourage some people to stick with Apple.
Similarly to subscription password managers 1Password and LastPass, Apple's app will
split passwords into categories.

will also be supported.
