The Trump administration is opening the way to import more steaks and ground beef from overseas, part of a broader effort to address record-high beef prices. The administration is planning to temporarily reduce tariffs on beef imports as soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter. The move would suspend the annual tariff-rate quota"which applies a higher tariff rate after a certain level of beef imports are reached"on all beef-exporting nations, enabling more of the product to enter the U.S. at lower tariff rates.
With nearly one-fifth of the world's oil under lock and key thanks to Donald Trump's ill-fated war on Iran, oil derivatives like jet fuel are at a premium. That makes it all the more devastating that the US Air Force leaked some 32,000 gallons of the stuff into the Potomac river over the course of just four months. According to bombshell reporting by NOTUS, Maryland's Joint Base Andrews, the facility that stores and maintains Air Force One, has lost tens of thousands of gallons of valuable jet fuel over two separate leaks. That would be bad enough on its own, but Joint Base Andrews is situated directly on Piscataway Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River.
Doctors have been warned to be on the lookout for "imported" hantavirus cases as American passengers return home from a cruise hit by an outbreak of the deadly disease. New Jersey joined five other states on Friday in announcing it was tracking residents who were onboard the MV Hondius, where eight cases of the illness were confirmed, with three deaths. Seven American passengers left the Dutch cruise ship last month, and 17 more are due to disembark in the Canary Islands on Sunday before being brought home.
