Summary

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer signaled another round of President Trump’s tariffs is on the way, on the heels of a new 50% levy on Canadian goods as varied as wine and hockey sticks. Greer says he expects action soon. The cyclospora pathogen is sparking fears – and false positives - as regulators struggle to determine the source of the recent explosive diarrhea outbreak. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb describes why this parasite is harder to track down than others. Plus, the U.S. has carried out its 10th consecutive evening of attacks on Iran, as the Middle East conflict approaches the five-month mark.
