Terrence Howardsaid last week that hecould have dated Beyoncé, but he passed and instead romanced another member of Destiny's Child.

Ahem, "there was a moment" between the futureIron Manactor and the music superstar, Howard recounted on thePBD Podcastepisode published March 5: "We had a conversation, you know, and I ended up talking to the other girl inside of Destiny['s Child]. The girl with the blue eyes. That was very, very long ago."

But that isn't exactly how Farrah Franklin, who identified herself as the woman in question, recalls it.

"I'm Farrah with the natural green eyes (not Blue lol), and I can confirm that Terrence and I had a few friendly outings—nothing romantic," Franklin toldPEOPLEin an article published Tuesday. "We went to the studio a few times, and I will say that Terrence is super talented! I won't speculate on anything else that was said, and as always, I wish everyone well and remain focused on my own journey."

Franklin was briefly part of the group, which eventually finalized its lineup with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. She joined at the same time as Williams, in 2000, after LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett parted ways with the singers, and she appears in the videos for popular songs "Say My Name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'."

"I remember Beyoncé looking over at me, and I think that's why she picked me to do that dance, when she did the kind of strip tease dance that we did at BET or whatever," he said, "to show me what I had lost."

The other two remaining members of the girl group brought famous men on stage, too. Rowland called up Nelly, while Williams paired up with Magic Johnson.

The Empire star clarified that this was before the music star coupled up with Jay-Z, whom she married in 2008. The Carters now share three kids: 14-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and their 8-year-old twins, daughter Rumi and son Sir.

A shooting at a U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico on Tuesday, March 17, left one person dead and another injured, military officials said.

The Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, a city in southern New Mexico, was put on lockdown at around 5:30 p.m. local time following reports of an active shooter, according to a statement released by the 49th Wing. The lockdown was lifted shortly after when security forces personnel confirmed that the area was safe.

Military officials did not provide further details on the incident but said one person was dead and another had been wounded. The person who was injured was transported for medical treatment, according to the 49th Wing.

"Emergency personnel are responding to the situation and there is no threat at this time," the 49th Wing said in the statement.

The Holloman Air Force Base was originally established in 1942 as an air field west of Alamogordo, about 90 miles north of El Paso, Texas. The base is primarily home to the 49th Wing, which supports national security work and provides "combat-ready airmen and guardians," according to its website.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jay Allen is a fan of PresidentDonald Trump, and voted for him on the belief that the Republican wouldcut taxesand trim regulations, helping his manufacturing business in northeast Arkansas.

But thetariffs at the core of Trump's economic agendahave wreaked havoc on his company, Allen Engineering Corp., which makes industrial equipment used to install, finish and pave concrete. Theimport taxeshave raised the costs of engines, steel, gearboxes and clutches made abroad that Allen needs to build power trowels that can sell for up to $100,000 each.

Allen's experience embodies a growing body of evidence that the tariffs that Trump said would help American factories are, in fact, squashing many of them. The problem could get worse as the administrationscrambles to craft new tariffsto replace theemergency import taxesthat theSupreme Court ruled illegal in February.

Allen said he ran his company at a loss in 2025 because of tariffs. His payroll has fallen to 140 workers from a peak of 205. To get by this year, he has hiked prices by 8% to 10%, even though that might mean fewer sales.

"What's really sad is the unintended consequences of his tariffs are hurting manufacturing in our country," said Allen. "Unfortunately, the working-class people are getting squeezed."

Manufacturing jobs have declined during Trump's first year back

Trump'score rationale for tariffshas been that they would force more factories to open in the U.S. and would generate enough revenue to close federal budget deficits. Butthat hasn't materializedso far.

Factories continue to shed workers, with98,000 manufacturing jobs lostduring Trump's first full 12 months back in the White House. American companies that foot the bill for tariffs are nowsuing the Trump administrationfor more than $130 billion in tariff refunds. Meanwhile, the federal deficit isprojected to climbover the next decade.

The White House maintains that construction spending is high, more workers are being hired to build factories, new investments are being made and labor productivity in manufacturing is increasing — which could eventually fuel a factory revival.

"It takes time to get production online, and therefore it will be some more time before we fully materialize the benefits of the president's policies," Pierre Yared, the acting chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said in an email.

Construction is up — but that's due to Biden's bill

Some of the bright spots in construction cited by the White House appear to be the result of programs launched by Joe Biden.

Factory construction spending began to accelerate in 2022 with the anticipation of government support fromBiden's CHIPS and Science Act, which included big subsidies for computer chip plants. The law was a primary contributor to a historic surge in the annualized rate of construction spending on manufacturing facilities, said Skanda Amarnath, executive director of the economic policy group Employ America.

Construction spending on factories has slipped during Trump's presidency, but the pace remains relatively high largely because of continuing work on Biden-era projects in Arizona, Texas and Idaho, Amarnath said.

Amarnath has also gone through the interviews regional Federal Reserve banks have held with businesses. Those comments show some companies might expand by taking advantage of Trump's tax breaks on investments in equipment and new buildings.

But while the pharmaceutical drug sector might be expanding, the comments show no overall uptick in manufacturing because of Trump's tariffs.

"You don't get the sense that there is this new manufacturing renaissance under way," Amarnath said.

Uncertainty in tariffs has deterred investments

Based on orders, proclamations and other statements, Trump has taken more than 50 actions on tariffs so far — and that tally doesn't include the tariffs threats he regularly makes on social media or in conversations with reporters, but hasn't formally put in place.

Theflurry of announcements, reversals, exemptions and legal challenges — as well as Trump's decision to bypass Congress to impose tariffs — has made it difficult for smaller manufacturing companies to plan.

For example, Allen Engineering imports its 75-horsepower diesel engines from Germany. Building them in the United States would require a $20 million investment — a huge risk if the status of the tariffs are unclear.

Are engine-makers "going to spend that kind of money to move production from Germany to the U.S. when they don't know what the landscape is going to be in three years?" Allen said. "I don't know who is going to be in the White House, and what the stance is going to be on these tariffs."

Joseph Steinberg, an economist at the University of Toronto, said research shows that under the best-case scenario "it would take a decade for manufacturing employment to rise above where it was before tariffs were enacted."

But Steinberg said "the current situation is nothing like the 'best case,'" since U.S. trade policy is unsettled and that leaves companies reluctant to expand.

Equipment makers have been hit hard by rising steel costs

About 98% of U.S. manufacturing establishments have fewer than 200 workers, according to Census Bureau data, and don't have the kind of name-brand recognition or lobbying heft to minimize the damage from tariffs that big players likeApple, General Motors and Ford possess.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers in February reported that America's share of global manufacturing severely lags China's. The group has urged tax credits to offset the expense of tariffs, and specifically called for tariff relief on raw materials, parts and components that cannot be acquired domestically at scale.

Steel tariffshave been a particular concern. Trump imposed them last March and hiked them to 50% in June. They were not affected by the Supreme Court decision.

Trump has credited the tariffs with restoring profits at American steel mills. But they have hurt companies that use that steel, like Calder Brothers in South Carolina, which makes equipment to pave asphalt.

"The steel tariffs were the first thing that got my attention," said Glen Calder, the company's president. "My steel pricing jumped 25% two weeks before the tariffs went into effect for domestic steel. The market price just jumped. It has stayed elevated."

Meanwhile, China's trade surplus has grown

Part of Trump's push to expand manufacturing was to help American companiescompete against China— a country heplans to visit this springfor talks with its leader, Xi Jinping.

But the U.S. manufacturing trade imbalance rose last year under Trump instead of narrowing. Meanwhile, China's trade surplus with the world climbed to a record $1.2 trillion.

This trend exposes one of the big problems with Trump's tariff strategy, said Lori Wallach, director of the Rethink Trade program at American Economic Liberties Project. She noted that he largely bypassed Congress and failed to address gaps in the World Trade Organization's rules for the trade frameworks that he negotiated with other countries.

Instead of working with partners to ensure there were penalties for foreign manufacturers with abusive labor practices and unfair subsidies, Trump chose against rallying partners to counter China as a unified group. American manufacturers are at a disadvantage, Wallach argued, because there is not a coalition of nations that can impose penalties for currency manipulation, subsidies and schemes to evade tariffs.

"The general revulsion of this administration to international cooperation means they're trying to do it alone," Wallach said.
