What new trade deal did President Trump announce with the European Union?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. President Trump says he's reached a new trade deal with the European Union. And Piers Franco-Ordonez says it comes just days before a deadline that would have kicked off new tariffs.
President Trump met with European Union President Ursula von der Leyen at his golf club in Scotland. The two sides talked for just over an hour when Trump called the press back. So we have good news.
We've reached a deal.
Under the agreement, Trump says most European Union exports to the US will face a 15% tariff. Down from the 30% tariff that Trump threatened would go into effect on Friday, the U.S. would pay no tariffs.

We're wearing our flak jacket and our helmets. I can hear shooting like tank fire and small gun fire in the distance. This is a desolate place that feels like the end of the earth. There's rotting oil, beans, baby formula, diapers just stacked up, rotting in the sun. There are birds picking at it. It's a seascape of barbed wire.

Brazil, Eleanor Beardsley. The U.N. and other groups have criticized how Israel handles the flow of aid into Gaza. Police in Michigan continue to look for a motive in the stabbing of 11 people at a Walmart in Traverse City last night. Claire Keegan Kurgan of Interlochen Public Radio has more.
42-year-old Michigan resident Bradford James Gilley is facing one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder. During the attack, multiple citizen bystanders, including one with a handgun, confronted the suspect in the parking lot and prevented him from harming more people. That's according to Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea. He declined to name those bystanders. If they choose to make a public statement, they will.
