Tariff Economics And Tick-Borne Disease, This West Virginia Morning

On this West Virginia Morning, some supporters of President Donald Trump have expressed hope he would lower the cost of everyday goods through tariffs. For the Appalachia Mid-South Newsroom, Stan Ingold spoke with an economist about the economic impacts of a tariff.

In recent years, there has also been a rise in reports of tick-borne disease across Appalachia. John Skaggs of WMMT in eastern Kentucky reports on why cases are so high.
