We’ll hear about those opportunities as well as some concerns about balancing financial and traditional environmental well-being being discussed at the Arctic Encounter Symposium in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Trump administration set August 1 as the deadline for countries to strike new trade agreements with the U.S. Some met the deadline, and others did not. The administration says it's about trading away some efficiency in commerce for a new trade system that is "fair and balanced." Mentioned less often is the role tariffs play in raising taxes to fund government spending. Plus, what is the difference between fine art and the art market? Art critic Blake Gopnik joins us to discuss the evolving world of art and commerce.
President Trump announces new tariffs on dozens of countries. Northeast flooding. Anguish over Texas flood response. CBS News Correspondent Cami McCormick has today's World News Roundup.
From the BBC World Service: President Trump’s long-delayed tariff deadline has finally passed and for countries without a deal, the import taxes are steep — the highest in almost a century. But some countries, including Thailand, are breathing a sigh of relief that the revised duties aren’t as high as feared. Meanwhile, automakers are already counting the cost of tariffs which were imposed on vehicles and vehicle parts earlier in the process.
We hear the story of a local woman, “Maria,” who fled war-torn Syria for the United States more than 10 years ago. While her request for asylum languished in the courts for the last seven years, she carried on the work of creating a new life, forming a community, and working as an immigration advocate. Just this week, she found out that her request for asylum has been denied. She now finds herself in a state of limbo, unable to return to her own country out of fear of persecution, uncertain of a future here.
In the final installment of our weeklong series looking into what it’s like to be an immigrant without permanent status in the U.S., we focus on the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees.
We speak with “Maria” from Syria; Maya Oyarbide-Sanchez, Refugee One Wellness Director; Heena Musabji, Legal Director at CAIR-Chicago; and Maketh Mabior, a former refugee from Sudan and lay leader of the South Sudanese congregation at St Paul's Church. All of today’s guests work on representing, resettling, and supporting refugees and other displaced people under a cloud of uncertainty created by the current administration.
