Trump vows March 4 tariffs for Mexico, Canada, extra 10% for China over fentanyl
Trump says 25% tariffs on Canada, Mexico will start Tuesday, doubles fees on China
President Trump announced 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday. He also plans an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Trump cited the ongoing issue of drug smuggling, especially fentanyl, as a reason for these tariffs. Tariffs are taxes on imports and they can lead to higher prices for consumers. Trump’s administration has been using tariffs as a tool to address trade imbalances and foreign policy aims. Economists warn that these tariffs could increase consumer prices, impacting the economy.

US will spend up to $1 billion to combat bird flu, USDA secretary says
The US is set to spend up to $1 billion to fight bird flu and bring down egg prices. This decision comes after a three-year outbreak, killed 166 million chickens and drove up egg costs. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said $500 million will fund free biosecurity audits for farms. Another $400 million will support farmers needing to kill infected chickens. The USDA is also looking into chicken vaccines, but has not yet approved their use to boost egg supply. The US will increase imports with Turkey sending 420 million eggs this year, up from 70 million normally.

Call 57-ALL2WELL: See how much ‘Swiftie’ vanity phone numbers are going for
A new trend is sweeping through Taylor Swift’s fanbase. A company is selling phone numbers inspired by the pop icon. These are called vanity phone numbers, which spell out words or names on a phone keypad. Founder Jacqueline Easton spent a year collecting these numbers like 509 Swifty, and is now selling them. Prices range from $335 to over $6000. This marks the first time a fandom has access to a phone number collection, says Easton. The excitement shows just how much Swift’s influence extends beyond music. Despite the high prices, fans are eager to own a piece of Swifty history.

Brewing Tea Can Remove Significant Amount of Toxic Metals from Water, Study Finds
A new study reveals that brewing tea can remove toxic heavy metals from drinking water. Researchers from Northwestern University found that tea leaves naturally absorb metals like lead and cadmium. The longer the tea steeps, the more contaminants it can remove. Lead author Benjamin Schindel explains brewing tea for longer periods or even overnight will recover most of the metal in the water. This finding could offer a simple way to reduce health risks associated with heavy metal exposure, potentially explaining lower rates of heart disease in tea drinking populations.
