The exchange happened Monday in Washington, where Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara, the first time any Syrian leader has visited the White House. There was also a swearing-in ceremony for a new ambassador to India, Sergio Gor.

Speaking afterward, Trump told reporters, “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie — nice woman. She’s lost her way, I think,” he said.

Greene responded, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that “I haven’t lost my way. I’m 100% America first and only!” according to a post on X from Collins.

Trump also accused Greene of “catering to the other side” and said her criticism surprised him. She appeared on the liberal-leaning TV show, “The View,” last week.

Greene, who represents much of northwest Georgia, told NBC News last week that the president’s foreign policy focus isn’t helping people struggling with high prices.

“Watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans,” she said. “It’s not reducing the cost of living or fixing health insurance premiums. It’s not solving the problems plaguing vulnerable people, especially young people.

Trump defended his approach, saying being president means thinking globally. “We could have a world that’s on fire, where wars come to our shores very easily if you had a bad president,” he said.

The back-and-forth comes after recent elections where voters in several states leaned toward Democrats, citing frustration with the cost of living. Trump has continued to claim that inflation is easing under his leadership and has blamed the earlier spike in prices on former President Joe Biden.

Still, federal data shows consumer prices have crept up again since Trump reinstated tariffs earlier this year.

Despite this clash, Greene has long been one of Trump’s strongest allies, often appearing alongside him at rallies and campaign stops across the U.S. But recenly she has been making headlines lfor being critical of GOP leadership despite being a staunch supporter of Trump.

People waiting on UPS deliveries can check their tracking information online. It’s not yet clear whether customers with packages on the downed plane will need to file claims, though UPS is expected to contact affected customers soon.

The plane went down shortly after takeoff on Tuesday from UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. The flight was bound for Honolulu. At least 12 people were killed, according to officials.

Sorting operations at the company’s Worldport facility, which can process roughly 416,000 packages an hour, were suspended Tuesday night. UPS aid operations resumed Wedesday night for the Next Day Air (Night Sort) operation.

UPS has not said what types or how many packages were on board. Ed Anderson, who teaches supply chain and operations management at the University of Texas, said planes leaving Louisville typically carry between 10,000 and 13,000 packages each.

Tom Goldsby, a supply chain management professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, said UPS will likely increase flights through regional hubs while the main Louisville operation is offline.

Those regional hubs “are going to take on a greater burden until that critical operation in Louisville gets back to full capacity,” he said.

In a statement, UPS said it’s activating contingency plans to move shipments “as quickly as conditions permit,” though it did not release details.

Goldsby said the company will be under pressure to minimize disruptions ahead of the holiday rush.

“It’s an issue they quickly want to resolve,” he said. “But they are going to have to do their due diligence in resolving the current crisis.”

Goldsby added that he received notice a UPS package routed through Louisville would be delayed.

“I understand the circumstance and will gladly receive it when it arrives,” he said. “People and businesses don’t have a lot of understanding about the supply chain. We just don’t expect our logistics operations to have a calamity or even a bad day.”

The crash comes as UPS continues to restructure its operations, shifting focus away from Amazon deliveries and toward business-to-business shipping. In its most recent quarterly report, UPS said it has cut 48,000 jobs this year and closed some facilities as part of that effort. Its third-quarter results exceeded expectations.

The decision, made in a 4-3 vote, comes after a December ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals that disqualified Willis because of an “appearance of impropriety” stemming from her alleged romantic relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had appointed to lead the case.

“Willis’ misconduct during the investigation and prosecution of President Trump was egregious and she deserved nothing less than disqualification,” Steve Sadow, Trump’s attorney in the Georgia case, said.

Willis said she disagreed with the court’s decision, according to the Associated Press, but would direct her office to make the case file and evidence available to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia so it can appoint a new prosecutor to replace her.

“I hope that whoever is assigned to handle the case will have the courage to do what the evidence and the law demand,” Willis said in an emailed statement.

Even if a new prosecutor wants to continue with the case, it seems unlikely Trump could be prosecuted now that he’s the sitting president. Two federal prosecutions brought in 2023 were abandoned after Trump won the November election, according to the Associated Press.

Despite the disqualification of Willis, 14 other defendants still face charges in the case.

A grand jury in Atlanta indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023, accusing them of attempting to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia using the state’s anti-racketeering law.

The alleged scheme included a call from Trump to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, urging him to find enough votes to secure a victory over Joe Biden. Four people have pleaded guilty.

Willis had argued the lower court’s decision was based solely on an appearance of impropriety without evidence of an actual conflict of interest or forensic misconduct. She contended no Georgia court had previously disqualified a district attorney under such circumstances.

However, Trump’s legal team maintained that disqualification was necessary to eliminate any taint of impropriety.

“We can treat my symptoms, but we can’t resolve the problem. So it’s crippling,” Jessica Hirsch said.

“Getting the diagnosis was validating, but I had to fight to get the diagnosis, like I had to advocate for myself,” Hirsch said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Alpha-gal is a molecule found in the saliva of some ticks.

“It’s typically after a tick, tick borne disease, the lone star tick,” said Jordan Morrison, pharmacist at Access Pharmacy in Tennessee. It can develop after certain tick bites, leading to a wide range of symptoms.

“Some of the people can have mild cases, and we have seen some patients that have extreme cases where a little bit of magnesium stearate in a tablet can ruin a day and cause a lot of unwanted complications,” Morrison said.

AGS is typically known as a red meat allergy, but Hirsch says it is much more than that.

“My symptoms came in forms of different kinds of rashes, bites that looked like massive spider bites or just really itchy after any kind of bites, nausea, chronic vomiting, chronic diarrhea, diverticulitis, wounds that took weeks and months to heal, if ever,” Hirsch said.

Along with the mental toll Hirsch says has taken over her life.

“Nobody is talking about the complexities and the mental health stuff that’s going on, I mean, my whole life had to change,” she said.

As far as treatment goes, Morrison says it looks different for everyone.

“A lot of what we see most often is usually just avoidance of triggers, so where we specialize in compounding and we can make a product where we are able to control all of the ingredients that go into it,” he said.

Morrison says the number of AGS cases they treat has increased in the past decade.

“It is much, much more common in a lot of the increasing frequency of people being diagnosed with this also comes with increasing awareness that it exists. If you don’t know that a condition exists, you’re not going to have many people diagnosed,” he said.

The most recent CDC data shows that the highest number of AGS cases are in the Southern, Midwestern, and Mid-Atlantic U.S., including Tennessee.

If you’re struggling to understand the diagnosis, Hirsch says there is healing.

“If you don’t feel well, I believe you,” she said. “And if you don’t have people that believe you, go find the people that believe you, that you’re not feeling well and and don’t give up, because there is for me. There had because I haven’t given up. There is healing.”

Hirsch also says there are several Facebook groups for people with AGS for support.

Ximena Arias-Cristobal’s immigration bond hearing was Wednesday. The judge granted a $1,500 bond. .

“The family will pay the bond ASAP and Ximena will be home with her family tomorrow [Thursday] afternoon at the latest,” her attorney, Dustin Baxter, said.

The hearing was originally set for Tuesday, but had to be rescheduled for Wednesday because of an outage at Stewart Detention Center in Columbus, Tennessee.

Baxter said he doesn’t expect Arias-Cristobal to be assigned another court date until 2026.

“The important thing is their case will no longer be on the rocket docket or the detained docket. We’re kind of got a few things in the pipeline,” he said. “We’re trying to develop ways that we can keep her here long term. We’ll see what happens.”

Arias-Cristobal said her time in ICE detention has been difficult, but she is thankful to God and her community for getting her through.

“I’m feeling super happy, joyful, excited, blessed. I’m really I’m really happy that everything’s coming out the way it is,” Arias-Cristobal said.

She said she felt the support from her communuty.

“I want to thank them so much. Without them, I feel none of this would have been possible, their support has helped me, not only personally, but it has helped my family as well, and I’m thankful for them, and may God bless all of them,” Arias-Cristobal said.

But after review of dash cam footage, the Dalton city attorney said the officer had pulled over the wrong vehicle. Dalton Police dropped the traffic charges on May 12.

However, that traffic stop revealed Arias-Cristobal was driving without a license and was not a U.S. citizen. She was taken into ICE custody at the Stuart Detention Center. Her father recently bonded out of that same facility.

“We’ll continue to finish the transition so we can be in the country and continue working hard. She’s studying at her college and working hard to come out ahead,” Arias-Tovar said Wednesday.

Arias-Cristobal’s parents came to the Dalton area from Mexico City in 2010, when she was a toddler. When they came to the U.S., Arias-Cristobal was not eligible to register in the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program because it had ended.

A petition was also started asking a judge to grant Arias-Cristobal bond. It has more than 8,000 signatures.

The attorney for 19-year-old Ximena Arias-Cristobal said in an email on Monday that her bond hearing has been set for May 20.

At that hearing, there is a chance Arias-Cristobal could be released on bond. Her case would then be transferred to a non-detained immigration court, and a new hearing date would be set, according to Dustin Baxter of Kuck Baxter Immigration attorneys.

Baxter says that hearing would likely happen “a year or two from now.”

A GoFundMe page reportedly has been set up for Arias-Cristobal by a woman she babysits for to help pay her legal expenses.

Her arrest comes at a time when immigration officials are taking a hard look at college and universities for those who could be in the country illegally. Several high-profile Columbia University (New York) students have been detained and the federal government is looking to have them deported. Both allegedly participated in pro-Palestinian protests.

A Turkish student at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, was recently released pending a hearing after spending six weeks at a detention facility in Louisiana.

A police report says the officer discovered Arias-Cristobal did not have a U.S. driver’s license.

Not only that, the police learned Arias-Cristobal is not a U.S. citizen. She came to this country with her parents when she was 4 years old, and has lived her life in the Dalton area since.

She graduated from Dalton High School, and was attending Dalton State Community College at the time of her arrest.

Two days after her arrest, she was shackled and transported to a detention facility for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in southwest Georgia.

Arias-Cristobal’s father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar, 43, is also at that detention facility. A traffic stop led authorities to detain and arrest him two weeks ago.

Arias-Cristobal’s attorneys told us they did not have any updates on her father’s case, as another firm is working to represent him. But Baxter did tell us “Ximena and her father have very different cases.”

Last Thursday on its X social media page, the Department of Homeland Security said of Tovar’s and Arias-Cristobal’s cases, “The family will be able to return to Mexico together. Mr. Tovar had ample opportunity to seek a legal pathway to citizenship. He chose not to. We are not ignoring the rule of law,” DHS said.

DHS also said in the same post, “Through the CBP Home App — the Trump administration is giving parents illegally in the country a chance to take full control of their departure and self-deport, with the potential ability to return the legal, right way and come back to live the American dream.”

The move by Trump comes amid escalating trade tensions between the U.S., Mexico, China and Canada.

Officials say the new tariffs will apply to foreign-made cars and car parts, including engines and transmissions. Fain says the new tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing and grow the American workforce.

“They got to be standard-setting jobs, jobs that people can raise a family on and don’t have to work two jobs or three jobs or work seven days a week just to scrape to get by,” said Fain, whose union supported Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Fain credited the Trump administration “for stepping up to end the free-trade disaster that has devastated working-class communities for decades.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that the president’s new tariffs “are a big deal for auto workers in the industry.”

White House officials say the new tariffs will apply to sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, cargo vans and light trucks.

Auto Drives America, a trade association that represents Volkswagen, said in a statement that tariffs will increase production costs for cars in the U.S.

“The tariffs imposed today will make it more expensive to produce and sell cars in the United States, ultimately leading to higher prices, fewer options for consumers and fewer manufacturing jobs in the U.S.,” the statement said.

The new tariffs are set to take effect on April 3 at 12:01 am ET.

About 200 VW Chattanooga employees will be affected by the furlough, which starts on Sept. 23.

Volkswagen said it will support these employees by supplementing their state unemployment benefits, ensuring they receive 80% of their base compensation. The employees will also continue to receive all current benefits during this period.

The company said it is working on a remedy for the issue.

“While we address the issue, we are focused on doing right by our employees, dealers, and consumers through this disruption,” Volkswagen said. “We are also exploring ways to support our dealers while we determine a remedy for our customers.

Volkswagen emphasized that this disruption does not alter its commitment to the ID.4 and its growing portfolio of battery electric vehicles. The ID.4 remains one of America’s best-selling electric vehicles, the company said.

Starting Thursday, Volkswagen enters contract negotiations with the United Auto Workers, whom employees voted into the plant earlier this year.
