How President Trump's tariffs could impact consumers, Tennessee industries
SUMMARY: President Trump implemented tariffs of 25% on goods from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese products, citing accountability for illegal immigration and the fentanyl crisis. Following Mexico’s commitment to send troops to its southern border, Trump paused tariffs on Mexican goods, and similarly paused tariffs on Canadian imports after Canada agreed to secure its border. Critics, including Senator Jeff Yarbro, warn that these tariffs will likely increase consumer prices and hurt Tennessee businesses, particularly in the auto industry and agriculture. The whiskey industry also expressed concern over potential retaliatory tariffs affecting Tennessee whiskey.

SUMMARY: Jury selection for Megan Boswell’s murder trial begins in Sullivan County, Tennessee, with a process expected to last several weeks. A total of 1,600 jury questionnaires were sent out, and approximately 20% are available for duty. The judge will sequester the jury, marking the first time in 15-20 years that a jury has been isolated in this manner during a trial. Boswell faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder and aggravated child neglect, related to the death of her 15-month-old daughter, Evelyn, whose remains were found in March 2020. The trial will be live-streamed daily on WJHL.com.

SUMMARY: After the Antioch High School shooting, Metro councilman David Benton is advocating for improved school security, including the use of advanced systems like the Evolv weapon detection technology. Heartbroken yet determined, Benton is collaborating with Nashville International Airport’s CEO, Doug Kruins, to explore solutions. The Evolv system, already used at major venues like Nissan Stadium, utilizes AI and sensors to identify threats without inconveniencing individuals. While more expensive than traditional metal detectors, Benton believes if proven efficient, it could enhance safety. He urges collaboration among the community, school district, and police to implement effective measures moving forward.
