The Plaistow Fire Department reported that at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, 911 calls were made regarding a collision at the intersection of Main Street and East and West Pine Street. Four vehicles were involved in the incident, with two of them overturned, as stated by the police.

Senator Peter Welch Joins Bipartisan Legislation Challenging Trump’s Tariffs on Brazil in filing bipartisan legislation to challenge President Trump’s tariffs on billions of dollars of goods from Brazil. The tariffs were illegally imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The Senators’ legislation would terminate the July 30 emergency declaration and eliminate the tariffs on Brazilian imports implemented as a result. Americans import more than $40 billion worth of goods annually from Brazil, including nearly $2 billion worth of coffee, a product that cannot be grown in most of the United States. Trade between the U.S. and Brazil supports nearly 130,000 jobs in the U.S., and the U.S. has a trade surplus with Brazil. A trade war with Brazil would raise costs for Americans, harm both the American and Brazilian economies, and drive Brazil closer to China.
