TODAY'S TOP STORY:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says tariff exemptions announced last week on electronics like smartphones and laptops are only a temporary reprieve until the Trump administration develops a new tariff approach specific to the semiconductor industry,
The Trump administration had said late Friday it will exclude electronics like smartphones and laptops from reciprocal tariffs, a move that could help keep the prices down for popular consumer electronics that aren’t usually made in the U.S.
But White House officials, including President Donald Trump himself, spent Sunday downplaying the significance of exemptions.
Trump says such goods still face a 20% tariff from China.

The Environmental Services Department on Monday will present its proposed plan to the City Council that could change how much San Diego residents pay to have their trash picked up.
As part of its proposal, the department will charge single-family homeowners as much as $48 per month to have their garbage hauled away.
Initially, the department recommended a $53 preliminary fee after voters overturned the "People's Ordinance." That early 1900's-law made the city pay for waste collection for single-family homes. Measure B in 2022 eliminated it and allowed the city to begin charging for services.
ABC 10News anchor Jared Aarons breaks down what San Diegans could eventually be paying for and what options residents will have.
