What are the details of the EU‑US trade agreement and its tariff implications?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The European Union is hailing its new trade agreement with President Trump as a good deal, even though it will mean fifteen percent tariffs on EU exports to the US. Terry Schultz.
Has more. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledges she didn't succeed in getting President Trump to entirely drop the plan to add import duties on European products, but only to cut his original threat in half. Fifteen percent is not to be underestimated, but it is the best we could get. Von der Leyen says there will be some zero tariff items, among them aircraft, some agricultural products, and critical raw materials. Other parts of the deal. We will replace Russian gas and oil by significant purchases of US LNG oil and nuclear fuels.
How is the U.S. federal government converting public land into military defense zones along the Southwest border?
Von der Leyen says while tariffs will still be a challenge for some, at least now the destabilizing uncertainty is over. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz in Brussels. The
federal government is transferring more public land to the U.S. military as the Trump administration moves to establish a military zone along a one hundred seventy mile stretch of border in New Mexico. From Member Station KJZZ, Elisa Resnick has more.
These so-called national defense areas now span hundreds of miles of borderland in Texas, New Mexico, and soon, Arizona. The Department of Interior says it'll include a portion of the Roosevelt Reservation, which is a 60-foot wide strip running the length of the border here in Arizona and in New Mexico and California. Miles Trapagan with the Wildlands Network says he expects the zones to spread further from the border.
I'd be very surprised if it stays within the Roosevelt Reservation because the federal government already had access to that and a lot of this land in Western Arizona already interfaces with DOD controlled lands.
What sparked the latest exchange of fire between Thailand and Cambodia and how is President Trump involved?
People caught crossing the areas could be subject to federal charges for trespassing on military property. For NPR News, I'm Elisa Resnick in Tucson.
Thailand and Cambodia exchanged fire across their disputed border for a fourth straight day today. Michael Sullivan has more from Thailand.
Cambodia and Thailand both say the other opened fire first early Sunday morning, the Cambodians insisting Thai forces were massing for attacks across the border, while the Thai said they were simply responding to attacks from Cambodia. Cambodia's Prime Minister said he agreed with President Trump's proposal for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Thailand's acting prime minister Puntam Wechaya Chai said he was grateful for President Trump's efforts. But said he preferred bilateral talks between the two countries. In a statement, Puntam's office now says he will travel to Malaysia Monday for negotiations with his Cambodian counterpart to work towards a ceasefire.
What are the circumstances and legal charges surrounding the mass stabbing at a Michigan Walmart?
For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Shang Rai, Thailand.
And you're listening to NPR News from Washington. In Michigan, authorities continue to search for the motive in a mass stabbing attack at a Walmart near Travis City yesterday that left eleven people injured. Police say a suspect is in custody and that several people, including one who was armed with a gun, helped apprehend the forty two year old man. Authorities say the suspect had a folding knife and that the attack appears to have been random. He faces charges of terrorism in connection with the attack, along with eleven counts of assault with intent to murder. Slovenian champion Tade Pogachar has secured his fourth Tour de France title despite rain slicked roads. Rebecca Rossman reports from Paris his victory came amid a dramatic and historic final stage.
There were steep hills,
slick cobblestones, and a surprise downpour in the final leg of the twenty-three day race.
