SUMMARY: The U.S. and China resumed critical tariff talks in Geneva, aiming to ease escalating trade tensions impacting the global economy.

SUMMARY: A brush fire in Miami-Dade has burned 400 acres and is in its third day, remaining dangerously close to homes near the Florida Keys. This fire, which flared up near Carson Road, is the second in the area since March. Despite being smaller than the one that burned 27,000 acres last month, it is still causing significant concern. The fire has affected local businesses, like Alabama Jack’s, which had to close twice due to smoke and road closures. While roads to the Keys remain open, officials warn that closures could happen quickly depending on how the fire spreads. The cause is still unknown.

A brush fire in southern Miami-Dade County that has burned at least 400 acres was 70% contained as of Saturday, according to the Florida Forest Service, which continued to battle the flames alongside Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. CBS News Miami’s Steve Maugeri has the story.
