USTR's Greer says Trump's latest tariffs won't have an economic impact

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Monday President Donald Trump's new tariffs on 60 trading partners over their alleged lax enforcement of forced labor bans will likely not have an economic impact in part because the rates of 10% or 12.5% are similar to recent global tariff actions.Greer told Fox News Channel's "Special Report with Brett Baier" that the new Section 301 duties are imposed on a smaller group of countries than a now-expired 10% temporary tariff, which was universal. But the agency has said that the forced labor duties would still cover 99.4% of U.S. imports."Well,

Major Hurricane Genevieve was roaring in the Pacific Ocean far from land Monday evening at the same time that the weakening storm Fausto was bringing large surf to Hawaii. Genevieve was briefly a Category 5 hurricane early Monday, the first in the East Pacific region in two years, the National Hurricane Center said.

Newly released Biden audio recordings include references to ‘classified’ material and struggles with memory

Audio clips released by the right-wing Oversight Project on Monday of former-President Joe Biden’s conversations with his biographer, Mark Lewis Zwonitzer, appears to support what former Special Counsel Robert Hur found in his 2024 report: Biden disclosed classified material, was forgetful and continued to possess classified material after leaving his post as vice president.In the audio tapes, Biden can be heard cavalierly discussing the notes he kept from his time as vice president as he showed them to Zwonitzer.“They didn’t even know I had this,” Biden said while apparently showing t

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day. SCOTTSDALE, AZ. When Benoit Pecqueur talks about his latest company, he sounds less like a founder pitching a product and more like an operator who got tired of watching the same problem repeat itself. “Most small business owners are watching the AI revolution from the sidelines,” he says. “Not because they don’t want it. Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
