The Business News Headlines 13 August 2026

Today we'll share two tariff related stories but this first one you might want to pay attention to...think refunds. This is The Business News Headlines for Thursday the 13th day of August, thanks for being with us. In other news, the editor of Forbes has been fired…and it’s a big story. The White House says the nation is losing billions of dollars as countries dodge the tariffs. The story is national as license plate reader Flock says it is changing some policies. A massive toy recall happened today and the story behind it. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and Netflix shutters some gaming studios and it was sudden.
