Show Notes
Philadelphia is home to one of the largest Ukrainian populations in the United States. How did the community respond and rally in the aftermath of the explosive White House exchange between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Zelenskyy? We also get an expert’s take on the potential local ramifications of Trump’s tariff policies. Plus, three years after sponsoring a bill designed to curb a disproportionate number of Black traffic stops, a Councilmember weighs in on the law’s successes and failures. KYW Newsradio’s Matt Leon dives into these stories and other big headlines making news in the Philadelphia region this week.
