WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican senators are declaring deep opposition to President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S. from Mexico. But it's unclear they have the votes to stop him, and Trump says they'd be "foolish" to try. Still, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says, "There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure."

HOUSTON (AP) — Representatives of a top leader of the U.S. Catholic Church say he acted "swiftly and justly" to the allegations made by a woman who says his former deputy lured her into a sexual relationship. The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston issued a statement Tuesday in response to an Associated Press investigation of Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, who is leading the U.S. church's response to its sex abuse scandal.

MIAMI (AP) — The inaction of a Florida deputy at the scene of the 2018 Parkland high school shooting that killed 17 people has resulted in his arrest on 11 criminal charges. Scott Peterson was the school resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School but surveillance video shows he never entered the building during the shooting. Peterson has been charged with child neglect, culpable negligence and perjury. The charges follow a 14-month investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has ended the most popular forms of U.S. travel to Cuba, banning cruise ships and a heavily used category of educational travel in an attempt to cut off cash to the island's communist government. The new restrictions are part of a broader effort by the administration of President Donald Trump to roll back Obama-era efforts to restore normal relations between the United States and Cuba.

UNDATED (AP) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 500 points Tuesday as investors welcomed signals that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates to help buttress U.S. economic growth in the face of escalating trade wars. Technology companies led broad gains for U.S. stocks as the benchmark S&P 500 index notched its best day since early January. The Federal Reserve chairman signaled the central bank could cut rates if multiple U.S. trade conflicts threaten the nation's economic expansion.
