NEWS TO GO. WE HAVE A LOOK AT TODAY’S TOP NEWS STORIES. YOUR TRAFFIC AND YOUR WEATHER ALL BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. THAT’S RIGHT. WE’RE STARTING WITH CONCERN ABOUT INFLATION FROM U.S. TARIFFS. YEAH. EUROPE IS BRACING FOR A POTENTIAL TRADE SHOWDOWN WITH THE U.S. AS AMERICAN TARIFFS ON CHINESE IMPORTS TAKES EFFECT TODAY. THE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION SAYS SHE WANTS TO START NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE U.S. EARLY. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE PLANS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH BEIJING SOON. CHINA’S RETALIATING NOW THAT AMERICAN COMPANIES MUST PAY 10% EXTRA ON CHINESE IMPORTS. BEIJING IS ISSUING TARIFFS ON CERTAIN ITEMS FROM THE U.S., CREATING EXPORT CONTROLS AND MORE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TARIFFS, THEY’RE USUALLY USED TO PROTECT DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES OR BRING BACK MANUFACTURING, IN THIS CASE BACK TO U.S. SOIL. HOWEVER, IT’S VERY UNLIKELY WE’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE ON OUR SOIL. TRUMP SAYS HE’S POSTPONING 25% TARIFFS ON CANADIAN AND MEXICAN IMPORTS, WHICH MANY ECONOMISTS CALL INFLATIONARY. HE SAYS THOSE COUNTRIES HAVE MADE CONCESSIONS AROUND BORDER SECURITY. SEVERAL ITEMS WILL BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TARIFFS. THOSE INCLUDE GROCERIES, BEER AND ALCOHOL, AND ALSO GAS AT THE PUMP AND ITEMS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT PURCHASE AS OFTEN AS WELL. THINGS LIKE TOYS, CARS, FURNITURE, ELECTRONICS AND HOME APPLIANCES COULD ALSO FACE HIGHER PRICES, ALONG WITH THE MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE THEM. THINGS LIKE STEEL, LUMBER AND CAR PARTS. ITEMS PRODUCED OUTSIDE THE U.S. FACE A TAX OR TARIFF WHEN IMPORTED, AND COMPANIES PAY THAT COST, WHICH IS THEN OFTEN PASSED ON TO YOU. NOW, THESE TARIFFS COULD ALSO IMPACT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES. OUR ISABELLE MARAK IS JOINING US LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE. AND SHE HAS WHAT THIS WOULD MEAN FOR YOU. ISABELLE. HEY, DESTINY. SMALL BUSINESSES, THEY’RE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR LOCAL ECONOMY. BUT THESE TARIFFS MEAN THAT BUSINESSES HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR ANYTHING THEY IMPORT. AND WITH THESE THREE COUNTRIES BEING OUR THREE BIGGEST TRADE PARTNERS, YOU COULD SEE A HIT TO YOUR POCKETBOOK. WHEN A TARIFF HAPPENS. EXPERTS SAY SMALL BUSINESSES TYPICALLY THEY HAVE TWO OPTIONS. THEY CAN RAISE PRICES TO MAKE UP FOR THE ADDED EXPENSE, OR THEY CAN CUT EXTRA EXPENSES THEY ALREADY HAVE, SUCH AS JOBS. EITHER WAY, IT’S HITTING THE EVERYDAY CONSUMER OR THE LOCAL JOB MARKET. REPORTING LIVE IN GREENVILLE ISABELLE MARAK WYFF NEWS FOUR. ALL RIGHT, ISABEL, THANK YOU. GREENVILLE COUNTY DEPUTIES SAY A COLD CASE HAS NOW ENDED IN A HOMICIDE ARREST.
