What new trade deal did President Trump announce in Scotland and how will it affect EU imports?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. President Trump has announced a trade deal that includes new tariffs on goods from the European Union. Trump announced the agreement during his visit to Scotland today. NPR's Lauren Frere reports the White House says that other countries will face similar tariffs.
The deal announced here in Scotland means European cars and other goods will face fifteen percent tariffs coming into the US. And President Trump says he's planning a single global tariff for other countries that have not yet negotiated separate trade agreements.
I would say in the range of fifteen to twenty percent.
Those numbers are higher than the baseline 10% tariff Trump announced back in April. Trump says a single blanket tariff is, quote, what they're going to pay if they want to do business in the United States, because he can't, quote, sit down and make 200 deals. Lauren Freyer and Pierre
How does the federal judge's ruling protect Planned Parenthood and what services are at stake?
News Aberdeen. The new trade deal with the European Union is drawing mixed reviews. France is calling it unbalanced, and Hungary's Prime Minister, an ally of President Trump's, describes it as a failure for Europe. Germany and Italy, meanwhile, say it prevents further escalation.

What caused the recent Thailand‑Cambodia ceasefire and what role did the U.S. play?
But it is already illegal to use federal funds to pay for abortions. Essentially, the change in law would have prevented clinics from providing basic health care. care, like cancer screenings and access to contraception. The judge on Monday wrote in her decision that the law unfairly targeted Planned Parenthood and called it, quote, legislative punishment. Katie Reddell, NPR News.
The ceasefire is now in effect between Thailand and Cambodia. The five day conflict marked the worst fighting between the two countries in more than a decade. Michael Sullivan reports the dispute claimed more than thirty lives on both sides of the border, with more than two hundred thousand people displaced.
Both Thailand and Cambodia accuse each other of starting the fighting, which began on Thursday after months of simmering tension over the disputed border between the two countries. President Trump called the prime ministers of both countries this weekend, urging a swift end to the fighting, warning both they would not secure a favorable trade deal with the US by his august first deadline without one.
When and how can listeners view the Perseids and other meteor showers this summer?
That's Michael Sullivan reporting from Chiang Rai, Thailand. At the close on Wall Street today, the Dow was down sixty four points. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of a small plane that left three people dead in Central California this weekend. The plane took off from San Carlos Airport on Saturday night and crashed on the southwestern edge of Monterey Bay. Fans of shooting stars or meteors might want to look for them Tuesday night going into Wednesday morning. NPR's Nell Greenfield Boys report.
The summertime meteor shower that gets the most attention is the Perseids. But this year, when the Perseid meteor shower peaks in mid-August, the moon will be almost full, and that bright glare will make it really hard to see shooting stars. The moon isn't as much of a problem, though, this month, for these two minor meteor showers, the southern delta aquarids and the alpha capricornids.
