US and China begin 2nd day of tariff talks. No breakthroughs but Trump touts ‘great progress’
SUMMARY: The U.S. and China resumed critical tariff talks in Geneva, aiming to ease escalating trade tensions impacting the global economy. President Trump claimed “great progress” and hinted at a possible “total reset,” while China’s official news agency firmly rejected any compromise on core principles. The talks are the first face-to-face discussions, following steep U.S. tariffs of up to 145% and Chinese retaliations up to 125%, severely disrupting $660 billion in trade. Despite limited details and cautious optimism, even a minor tariff reduction could help restore market confidence amid a complex trade war fueled by issues like fentanyl imports and China’s trade deficit.

Hotspots remain close to homes as brush fire burns in Miami-Dade near Keys
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.
