By ELAINE KURTENBACH, AP Business Writer BANGKOK (AP) — The U.S. and China have signed an agreement on trade, President Donald Trump said, adding he expects to soon have a deal with India. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Bloomberg TV that the deal was signed earlier this week. Neither Lutnick nor Trump provided any details about the agreement. “We just signed with China the other day,” Trump said late Thursday. Lutnick said the deal was “signed and sealed” two days earlier. It was unclear if the latest agreement was different from the one Trump announced two weeks earlier that he…
Q: I have vanity license plates on one of my vehicles, and after paying the registration fee for another year I’m contemplating on giving them up next year. I had transferred the plates from a car I sold. Can I keep the vanity plates, or do I have to turn them in? I’m assuming the plates will be deactivated when I switch to regular plates. What is the procedure for doing this according to the Department of Motor Vehicles? – Helen Nees, Dove Canyon A: Yes, you can hang them up in your living room, if you choose, or nail…
Even now, six months into President Trump’s second term, there’s a tendency to disregard President Trump’s sometimes fiery rhetoric as mere big talk. Americans ought to know better by now. Iranians certainly do, after Trump sent bunker bombs into their most secure nuclear facility. Similarly, when he ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents into Southern California and told them to “do all in their power to…deliver the single largest mass deportation program in history,” he wasn’t kidding. His order led to weeks of protests in affected areas, demonstrations that made no discernible dent in the president’s plans. This suggests…

Dixon, a 6-foot-8, 255-pound forward, signed with the Lakers shortly after going undrafted. The Lakers selected Arkansas forward Adou Thiero with the No. 36 pick after twice trading up in the second round on Thursday.

He shot 45.1% from the field and 40.7% from 3-point range (7.2…
It was a devastating accident — and a rare one. Last month in Laguna Beach, while a 15-year-old girl was out on a driving lesson with her father, their car rolled through a fence and down an embankment from a closed grocery store parking lot to Coast Highway below. She was seriously injured but expected to survive. Her father, a passenger in the car, did not. The crash appears to have been caused by the teen confusing the gas and brake pedals, Laguna Beach police Lt. Jesse Schmidt said. Crashes involving teen drivers are not uncommon. In 2022, 12% of…
By MATT BROWN and MICHELLE L. PRICE, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans on the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena Thursday to Anthony Bernal, a senior aide to former first lady Jill Biden, as part of their rapidly expanding investigation into former President Joe Biden’s mental fitness while in office.

It came after several weeks of back-and-forth with Bernal’s lawyer over the timing of a voluntary interview. “Given your close connection with both former President Biden…
With the conclusion of this year’s NBA draft, Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank turned his attention to securing future Hall of Famer James Harden for the foreseeable future. The 16-year veteran point guard can opt in to the final year of his contract for $36.3 million or opt out and seek a new longer-term deal or test free agency. The two sides formally opened talks after the NBA Finals. “He’s our No. 1 priority,” Frank said. “We are super hopeful that James is here and he’s here for a long time. Yet, at the same time, we always…
A 59-year-old Corona man who filed income tax returns without declaring hundreds of thousands of dollars that he had pocketed from selling memorabilia signed by Stan Lee — a major figure in the world of super heroes — was sentenced on Thursday, June 26, to a year in federal prison. Mac Martin Anderson pleaded guilty in March to two counts of willfully subscribing to a false tax return under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. During a hearing at U.S. District Court in downtown Riverside on Thursday, Judge Kenly Kiya Kato sentenced Anderson to the one-year term and…
