Now at Noon - 8/18

1. We are just minutes away from President Trump meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This is Zelensky's first time at the White House since that explosive meeting in the Oval Office back in February. President Trump says Zelenskyy can end the war there, almost immediately if he wants to. Several key European leaders from France, Germany, the U-K, Italy, Finland, and NATO are joining Zelensky. A reminder: It was Russia that started the war in 2022.

2. Hurricane Erin has intensified overnight, with powerful winds and heavy rain battering Puerto Rico. Authorities are warning swimmers along the entire East Coast of the United States to be cautious because of rough rip currents. Meanwhile, a Boy Scout Troop from Plymouth is stranded in the Virgin Islands. The direct path of the Hurricane is not expected to pass over the Virgin Islands, but several flights are canceled and now the group is running out of funds to pay for additional food and shelter. Troop 851 has tentative flights back to Wisconsin scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

3. A New York-based apparel company is suing Kohl's. PSK Collective claims the Menomonee Falls based company hasn't paid for about eight million dollars worth of merchandise. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee. PSK is accusing Kohl's of "breach of contract", "intentional misrepresentation", and "theft by fraud" among other things. The complaint states PSK sent Kohl's 15-hundred invoices over roughly a year and a half and never got paid for them. The PSK brand is an active-wear line, founded by two women, including World Rugby Hall of Famer Phaidra Knight. It's meant to appeal to all body shapes and sizes. We've reached out to Kohl's to see if the company would like to respond, but have not heard back yet.
