What new trade agreements has President Trump announced with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines?
Live from NPR News in Washington, on Korva Coleman, President Trump says the US has reached trade agreements with three nations Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The deals come ahead of Trump's deadline next week. If other nations don't strike independent trade agreements with the United States, Trump will impose significant new tariffs on them. Economists say the tariffs will prompt manufacturers to pass higher costs on to American consumers. Treasury Secretary Scott Bezins says that's not fully happening.
Who pays the tariffs is a choice, and what we've seen thus far is that the manufacturers are eating a substantial portion of the tariff and taking it into their profit margins.
He spoke to MSNBC. This week automakers Stellantis and General Motors reported sharply lower profits in their latest quarters, company officials cited the Trump terrorists. Russia and Ukraine are to meet for a third round of peace talks later today in Istanbul, Turkey.
How are the upcoming Russia‑Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul expected to impact the conflict?
The meeting marks the first since President Trump imposed a deadline. He threatened economic penalties on Russia if it doesn't sign on to a peace deal by early September. From Moscow, NPR's Charles Maines reports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initiated the talks with an appeal to Moscow to accelerate negotiations towards a ceasefire, yet expectations remained stubbornly low. Ahead of the talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned not to expect miracles or breakthroughs and said Russia remained committed to achieving its military goals. The spokesman also made clear that Kremlin was not ready to engage Zelensky's calls for a face-to-face meeting with President Vladimir. Primer Putin aimed at securing a lasting peace. Instead Russia is signaling it may agree to additional exchanges of prisoners and war dead, alone accomplishment from previous negotiations, and far less than the Trump administration is demanding.

The US OPC confirmed an update to its athlete safety policy in a letter sent to the governing bodies that oversees swimming, track and field, and other sports, saying that as a federally chartered organization, it has an obligation to comply with federal expectations.

It calls on all national governing bodies to follow suit. The NCAA took a similar step earlier this year. Supporters of excluding transgender women and girls say it's about athletic fairness. Critics argue Trump's order is discriminatory and affects only a small number of athletes.
