Tariffs are back in the spotlight, and while they're often framed as a tool for tough trade policy, the real cost tends to fall on consumers. As new tariffs target not just China but also our North American neighbors and European allies, we're taking a look at whether public opinion is shifting.Then, we're joined by Marist University Assistant Professor Dr. Sergio Pinto-Handler to discuss Cuba, a country consistently caught in diplomatic limbo with the United States. With relations ebbing and flowing between the two nations, how do Americans feel about travel, trade, and engagement with the island nation? Finally, a leprechaun selected this week's Fun Fact! We're discussing the long-standing superstition of four-leaf clovers. Do people still believe in a bit of Irish luck?
