Shipments from China to the U.S. West Coast are expected to plummet by around 35% next week compared to a year ago, as President Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods take effect. Consumers are expected to feel the pain — both in lack of supply and higher prices — as soon as this month.
Shipments from China to the U.S. West Coast are expected to plummet by around 35% next week compared to a year ago, as President Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods take effect. Consumers are expected to feel the pain — both in lack of supply and higher prices — as soon as this month.
Today marks the 100th day of President Trump’s second term, which he won by convincing voters he could grow the U.S. economy and bring down prices.
But, the latest economic data shows he still has a major uphill climb there due to some of his own policies. Consumer confidence fell sharply in April to its lowest level since October 2011 amid fears of rising prices and a possible recession. The catalyst: Trump launching his tariff war.
President Trump is signing two new immigration-related executive orders today. One directs Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to publish lists of “sanctuary cities,” where local authorities restrict cooperation with federal immigration officials.
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI on Friday and charged with two federal felonies — obstruction and concealing an individual. She’s been accused of helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week after a recent hearing in her courtroom. Dugan faces up to six years in prison if convicted.
