Tariff payments are NOT "paid by foreign countries" as President Trump claimed in his SOTU address. They are made by importers in the US, not foreign countries, and those importers often pass on some of their costs to consumers. Read more from CNN's Daniel Dale... www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

We’ve been witnessing solemn and moving scenes today… Hong Kong is holding a funeral with full honors for Ho Wai-ho, the 37-year-old firefighter who died saving lives in the devastating Tai Po blaze at Wang Fuk Court — a fire that has killed at least 160 people. 💔 🙏🏽
Here in Hong Kong, we're outside the court as we await the verdict in the National Security trial of former media mogul Jimmy Lai, one of the highest-profile critics of Beijing. Security is tight. Scores have turned out to bear witness to this moment, with some lining up overnight.
🐄🤖💡This was the moment we witnessed a *robot* herd cattle for the very first time. 🙌🏽 RESPECT for the farmers around the world who help sustain us... and the engineers who study their work, and find ways to support them through tech. From the latest CNN Tech for Good…
The photo of Mr. Wong has become a poignant symbol of Hong Kong's deadly fire. Reuters photojournalist Tyrone Siu captured the moment of anguish in the now viral photograph. Mr. Wong's family says they are reeling as the man’s wife remains missing. 🙏🏽🇭🇰😞 www.youtube.com/shorts/uDjDe...
🙏🏽🇭🇰😔 Thousands have turned out to pay tribute to the victims of the Tai Po fire by leaving flowers and messages of condolence. There's also a memorial for the pets who perished. Mourners have left toys and food for the dogs, cats and other companion animals who died in the fire.
