What is the latest on the U.S.‑EU tariff dispute and Macron’s response?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. French President Emmanuel Macron called on European countries to remain firm and united as President Trump calls for 30 percent tariffs on EU products. The tariffs go into effect if no deal is reached by August 1st. And PR's Eleanor Beardsley reports the tariff threat came as a surprise.
Europeans were hoping to keep the tariffs at 10% in ongoing negotiations. Trump announced the increase in a letter to European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen, then published it on social media. Analysts say Trump is trying to increase pressure and divide the continent. Some countries want to make a quick deal as the uncertainty is hurting businesses and costing hundreds of millions. In a written response, the commission said it was committed to working towards an agreement, but also said it would take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required.
How are the new U.S. military aid shipments affecting Ukraine’s war effort?
Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
This weekend, Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles against Ukraine, intensifying its bombing campaign. Keefe says at least six people were killed across multiple regions and several people were injured. This says North Korea and Russia have been increasing military cooperation with the North, supplying Russia with troops and weapons. The U.S. has restored military aid shipments to Ukraine. NPR's Hanna Palomarenko reports Ukraine's president announced more work on agreements with the American side in the coming
week. President Zelensky said in an evening address that Ukraine is working with the partners on new supplies, increased weapons production in the country, and equipping the army. He emphasized that amid a previous pause in weapons deliveries from the U.S., Ukraine received a positive signal.
What is Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s plan for immigration policy under Trump?
According
to all reports, aid shipments have been restored, he said. Zelensky also added that they will continue to discuss military aid with the U.S. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg,
who is
coming to Ukraine on Monday with a week-long visit. Hanna Palomarenko, NPR News, Kyiv.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says that as long as Donald Trump is president and she heads the Department of Homeland Security, amnesty for immigrants in the U.S. without legal status
is off the table. It should be state managed, which means the state makes the decisions on how they're going to universally handle this disaster. And the federal government, our role should be to support.
She spoke in Tampa, Florida to the conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA Student Action Summit.
Why are parts of Grand Canyon National Park being evacuated due to wildfires?
Addressing the Central Texas flooding disaster, Noem said that from this point forward, it will be Trump administration policy everywhere for crisis situations like the flooding disaster in Central Texas to be handled primarily by the states. This is NPR News in Washington. Palestinian hospital officials say at least 31 Palestinians were fatally shot Saturday as they headed to an aid distribution site near Rafah in the Gaza Strip. The Red Cross says its field hospital saw its largest influx of dead in over a year there. Elsewhere, Palestinian health officials say Israeli airstrikes killed at least 28 Palestinians, including four children. Parts of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona are under evacuation orders,
as two nearby wildfires burn uncontained. No major injuries have been reported, but NPR's Matt Bloom reports the fires have scorched at least 25,000 acres so far.
Hot, dry, and windy conditions have fueled both fires and prompted evacuations in parts of the park and nearby communities.

In a statement posted to social media, the park said staff on the north rim had to evacuate after one of the fires quickly doubled in size and damaged some facilities. Some trails remain closed to visitor use, but the south rim remains open. Hundreds of firefighting personnel have deployed to both the Dragon Bravo and White Sage fires. But containment remains low, and the forecast is calling for more hot and dry weather in the near term.
