U.S. Automakers Hit With $10.6 Billion Tariff Burden Amid Trade Pressures

                                            A truck carries brand new cars on March 04, 2025 in Richmond, California.  U.S. automakers are facing mounting financial strain as tariffs on vehicles and auto parts imported from Canada and Mexico have surged past $10 billion in 2025, with estimates projecting the total to reach $10.6 billion by the end of October .

US to Repatriate Survivors of Caribbean Drug Vessel Strike to Ecuador and Colombia

                                            U.S. President Donald Trump     


The United States will return two survivors of a military strike on a suspected drug-carrying vessel in the Caribbean to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia, President Donald Trump announced on Saturday.

The strike, carried out Thursday, targeted what Trump described as a “drug-carrying submarine” believed to be transporting fentanyl and other narcotics toward the United States. Two people were killed in the attack, while the surviving pair were rescued by U.S. forces and later transferred to a Navy ship for medical treatment.

Trump said the decision to repatriate the survivors avoids a prolonged legal battle in the U.S. and ensures they face detention and prosecution in their countries of origin. “Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea,” he declared in a social media post.

The incident marks at least the sixth U.S. strike on suspected narcotics vessels in the Caribbean since early September, underscoring the administration’s intensified campaign against drug cartels operating in the region.
