China Trade War Causes 15% Drop in Nebraska Soybean Exports

In Nebraska, the ongoing trade war under President Donald Trump has severely impacted soybean exports, with China, the state's top buyer, shifting its purchases to South American countries due to high tariffs between the U.S. and China. This shift has caused soybean prices to plummet to near five-year lows and left Nebraska farmers struggling without buyers. Meanwhile, in Utah, The Other Side Village offers an innovative program to help chronically homeless individuals regain life skills, sobriety, and employment, eventually moving them into tiny cottages for permanent housing, highlighting a community-focused approach to ending long-term homelessness. In contrast, Barrie, Ontario, has declared a state of emergency to clear homeless encampments due to public safety concerns following violent incidents, but this move has been criticized for displacing vulnerable people without providing adequate permanent housing solutions, emphasizing the tension between safety measures and the need for sustained support for the homeless population.
