The Trump administration announced this week that it will not renew the U-S-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA. Houston Public Media’s Andrew Schneider reports that, while the three countries will continue to negotiate in hopes of extending the agreement, the prospects of failure could have consequences for Texas’ businesses, as well as consumers. Lubbock will be celebrating Independence Day tomorrow with its annual 4th on Broadway celebration. The parade will begin at 9:45 a.m. from Avenue M and move east on Broadway towards MLK Blvd. A picnic and evening concert will take place at the South Plains Fairground, with fireworks beginning at 10 p.m. You can find maps of the parade route, parking information, and vendor locations at CivicLubbock.org.
