SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the Qatari royal family during his upcoming Middle East trip. The jet could be converted into a version of Air Force One until Trump leaves office in January 2029, after which it will be transferred to his presidential library foundation. U.S. officials have prepared a legal analysis defending the acceptance of such a gift under the Emoluments Clause. The jet will be modified with secure communications, but will have fewer capabilities than existing Air Force One planes. Trump’s family business maintains growing interests in the Middle East.

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.

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.
