US Fed expected to announce its first interest rate cut since 2020
==========
The Federal Reserve is set to announce its first interest rate cut since March 2020 on Wednesday, with discussions on whether to cut by 25 or 50 basis points. Fed chair Jerome Powell and senior officials have indicated a rate cut is likely as inflation approaches the 2% target and the labor market cools. The Fed's key lending rate has been held at 5.25-5.50% for 14 months. Analysts expect a 25 basis point cut, with Goldman Sachs forecasting three cuts of 25 basis points each in 2024. The decision comes less than two months before the US presidential election, with Donald Trump running against Kamala Harris.

Oklahoma Sees 69K International Tourists Last Year
==========
Oklahoma saw a total of 69,000 international tourists in 2023, a decrease of 14.8% compared to the previous year. The state had a visitor-to-resident ratio of 17 international tourists per 1,000 residents. Oklahoma accounted for 0.2% of the total overseas visitors to the United States in 2023. The total number of overseas visitors to the United States in 2023 was 31,468,000, with a visitor-to-resident ratio of 94 international tourists per 1,000 residents. The percentage change in visitors from 2022 to 2023 was +31.4% for the United States as a whole. Experts attribute America's slower recovery in international tourism to factors such as strict visa requirements and lengthy customs wait times. International tourism is a vital part of the U.S. economy, generating over $230 billion in exports in 2023. The most popular activities for international tourists in the U.S. are shopping and sightseeing. New York, Florida, and California are the top states for international tourism in the U.S.

Oklahoma Congressman Josh Brecheen votes against 'Status Quo" FISA Reauthorization
==========
Oklahoma Congressman Josh Brecheen voted against the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reauthorization, House Resolution 7888, which he described as a 'Status Quo reauthorization.' He stated that he could not support the reauthorization because it allows the federal government to unlawfully spy on Americans in violation of their Fourth Amendment rights. Brecheen voted in favor of an amendment that would require the government to obtain a warrant before conducting searches of American citizens, but the amendment failed on the House floor.
