North Carolina Governor announces grants for Helene survivors
SUMMARY: Western North Carolina is still recovering from Hurricane Helene, with Governor Josh Stein proposing additional funding to aid the recovery. Stein announced a $30 million grant program for small businesses and is requesting over $1 billion to support immediate rebuilding needs in the region. The local Manna Food Bank, which serves 16 counties, remains crucial for those in need. Many residents report insufficient financial aid from FEMA and insurance, intensifying the urgency for support as the tourism season approaches. Applications for the new funds are open now, with additional programs for farmers and food banks expected later this year.

US tariffs on Mexico ‘paused for a month,’ 10,000 Mexican troops head to border
SUMMARY: U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reached an agreement to pause U.S. tariffs on Mexico for a month. Sheinbaum stated that Mexico will deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the U.S. border to combat fentanyl and illegal migration, which Trump confirmed. The U.S. also aims to curb weapons trafficking into Mexico. While tariffs on Canada remain, Trump is expected to negotiate with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of fair trade, while Trump defended tariffs as necessary to address trade imbalances, citing a $36 trillion national debt linked to deficits with other countries.
