Trump's Iran extension, DHS funding deal, Anthropic's injunction and more in Morning Squawk

In a series of significant updates, President Donald Trump has announced a ten-day extension on the pause regarding military action against Iran's nuclear facilities, now set to last until April 6. This decision comes at the request of the Iranian government, indicating ongoing diplomatic negotiations. In legislative news, the Senate has forged a deal to provide funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security, signaling movement towards resolving the department's ongoing shutdown. This funding package is expected to advance to the House of Representatives, potentially facing a vote later today. Notably, the bill excludes funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which aligns with Democratic demands, yet does not incorporate the additional changes to ICE's practices that they sought. This progress is critical as TSA agents are currently working without pay, leading to longer wait times at airports. In the realm of artificial intelligence, Anthropic, a startup in the sector, received a favorable ruling from federal Judge Rita Lin, who granted an injunction in the company's lawsuit against the White House. The judge characterized the Pentagon’s decision to blacklist Anthropic as a clear violation of First Amendment rights. Anthropic expressed gratitude for the swift action by the court, reiterating its desire to collaborate with the government in the future. Moreover, venture capitalist David Sacks has announced the end of his role as Trump's advisor on cryptocurrency and AI. He will transition to the President's Council of Advisers on Science & Technology, a federal advisory committee. In the financial sector, Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Kevin Warsh—Trump's nominee for the Federal Reserve chair—in a pointed letter, claiming his past failures at the Fed disqualify him from the position. Warren argued that his confirmation would merely support Trump's economic agenda without necessary scrutiny. Meanwhile, the Fed's Board of Governors is pushing back against efforts by prosecutors to revive subpoenas linked to an ongoing criminal investigation involving Chair Jerome Powell. As the 2026 MLB season kicks off, it may be the last before significant changes occur, as negotiations on the collective bargaining agreement are underway.
