The Telegraph: Brexit Britain can weather the storm
In 2023, Britain's trade with the U.S. reached over £300 billion, crucial for both economies. However, President Trump’s tariffs pose a threat, with a 10% charge on British exports and a 25% tariff on cars. Despite this, Britain is better positioned than many nations to handle the fallout.
The UK should focus on negotiating a favorable deal with the U.S. instead of retaliating, which could harm its economy. The government has the opportunity to leverage its independence post-EU to navigate these challenges effectively, aiming to maintain strong trans-Atlantic trade relations.
Forbes: Trump's Tariffs Tip Economy 'Perilously Close' To A Recession, Largest U.S. Bank Warns
President Trump's announcement of 10% tariffs on imports has drawn sharp criticism from JPMorgan Chase's chief economist, who warned it could push the economy toward recession. The tariffs represent the largest tax increase since 1968, with potential impacts on consumer spending and inflation.
UBS economists predict a technical recession, projecting GDP could shrink for two consecutive quarters, and unemployment may rise to 5.5%. The tariffs are expected to significantly increase the average effective tariff rate on U.S. imports, raising concerns about economic stability.
Fox News: Some countries targeted by Trump tariffs seek negotiations, China says 'no winners in trade wars'
President Trump announced a baseline tariff of 10% on imports, with additional reciprocal tariffs based on foreign nations' tariffs on U.S. goods. While some world leaders expressed disappointment, many preferred negotiation over retaliation.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the tariffs a "major blow" to the global economy, while Japan and Australia indicated they would seek to negotiate. Canada and Mexico are currently exempt from reciprocal tariffs but face significant tariffs on goods.

The Western Journal: Never Pick a Blossom If You Visit Washington DC’s Cherry Trees
The cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. are currently in bloom, attracting many tourists. However, laws prohibit picking the blossoms, with penalties including fines and possible imprisonment for harming the trees. Visitors are advised to enjoy the beauty without touching the trees.
These cherry blossoms, a gift from Japan over a century ago, symbolize friendship between the two nations. In 2026, Japan plans to donate 250 new trees to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The Federalist: Smithsonian Exhibits Need Great Storytelling, Not More Politics
The Smithsonian's "Entertainment Nation" exhibit has been criticized for its lack of representation of country music, with notable artists like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash receiving minimal attention. Instead, the exhibit focused on themes of social justice and diversity, which some believe overshadow the cultural significance of country music.
President Trump's recent executive order aims to shift museum narratives towards celebrating American history and culture without ideological bias. Critics argue that the current approach fails to connect with visitors emotionally, advocating for a storytelling focus that honors the richness of American music and history.

On The Water: What's Biting in April in Connecticut?
April marks the peak of trout fishing season in Connecticut, with rivers flowing well due to snowmelt. Fly fishing is popular, especially with the anticipated Hendrickson hatch, and various rod types are recommended for different fishing styles. Anglers can also target pike and smallmouth bass in local waters.
As the month progresses, striped bass begin to appear in estuaries and along Long Island Sound. While river smallmouth bass fishing is promising, the decline in river herring numbers poses challenges for anglers targeting stripers. Observations of herring runs are encouraged to aid in monitoring their populations.
