Trump not backing down on Tariffs
President Donald Trump says he won’t back down on his sweeping tariffs on imports from most of the world unless countries even out their trade with the U.S.
Markets across the world plunged overnight between 5 and 13 percent.
Speaking to reporters Sunday aboard Air Force One, Trump said he didn’t want global markets to fall, but also that he wasn’t concerned about the massive sell-off either, adding, “sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.” His comments came after Trump’s aides sought to soothe market concerns by saying more than 50 nations had reached out about launching negotiations to lift the tariffs.
HHS Sec. RFK Jr. visits family after measles related death
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has traveled to the epicenter of Texas' measles outbreak after a second school-aged child who was not vaccinated died from a measles-related illness. The state health department said the child died Thursday of “what the child’s doctors described as measles pulmonary failure.” The first measles death in the U.S. in a decade was in an unvaccinated school-age child in February in Lubbock. RFK Junior visited that family and wrote on social media quote: “It was a heartbreaking day, but I felt so much warmth and love from the entire Mennonite community.”
An adult in New Mexico died in March -- that individual did not seek medical care before they died. Over 4 thousand 4 hundred cases of measles have been confirmed in the outbreak since late January. Fifty-six people have been hospitalized.
Flooding claims at least 18 lives
Rivers rose and flooding worsened across the U.S. South and Midwest, threatening communities already waterlogged and badly damaged by days of heavy rain and storms that killed at least 18 people. Forecasters warned that flooding could persist for days, especially in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama.
