The Trump administration's senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, Peter Navarro, suggested on Sunday that the tariffs on automobiles, which are set to go into effect "on or after April 2," would raise $100 billion, ostensibly in a year.Responding to a question from "Fox News Sunday" that the tariffs, according to Investopedia, would raise car prices for consumers, Navarro discounted the concern, offering instead that tariffs represent "tax cuts."

A proposed law in Florida, which aims to reduce restrictions on child labor, is making its way toward approval, but not without raising criticism. While the state administration seeks to fill the gap left by deported immigrants with an alternative workforce, opposing voices warn of the dangers associated with the exploitation of younger individuals.

Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “They’ll [the government]...
