Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4596627-most-dont-think-trump-acted-illegally-in-hush-money-case-poll/

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series

Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.

Measles cases are up sharply in 2024. Here’s what’s driving the increase — and why it’s such a big deal

Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US

A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.

With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.

So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.

Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US

An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.

Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.

President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

Quick Glance: Comprehensive Plan to Expand Online Privacy Protections Revealed
