How about them tariffs?

July 28, 2025

The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade.

U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the deal at Trump's luxury golf course in western Scotland after an hour-long meeting that pushed the hard-fought deal over the line, following months of negotiations.

Von der Leyen, describing Trump as a tough negotiator, said the 15% tariff applied "across the board", later telling reporters it was "the best we could get."

The baseline 15% tariff will still be seen by many in Europe as too high, compared with Europe's initial hopes to secure a zero-for-zero tariff deal.

Bernd Lange, the German Social Democrat who heads the European Parliament's trade committee, said the tariffs were imbalanced and the hefty EU investment earmarked for the U.S. would likely come at the bloc's own expense.

The deal will be sold as a triumph for Trump, who is seeking to reorder the global economy and reduce decades-old U.S. trade deficits, and has already reached similar framework accords with Britain, Japan, Indonesia and Vietnam

Bill Maher Says He Was Wrong About Trump Tariffs: ‘I Gotta Own It’

Bill Maher said he has been proven wrong about his belief that President Trump’s tariff plan was going to wreck the economy.

The veteran comic, during the latest episode of his “Club Random” podcast on Monday, said he agreed with those who projected the president’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which were announced in early April, would result in the economy being “tanked” by the Fourth of July.

“I would have thought — and I gotta own it — that these tariffs were going to f–king sink this economy by this time — and they didn’t,” Maher said.

A Reporter: You’re saying Epstein poached two of your staffers?
Trump: . . . Yeah, he took people and because he took people, I said don’t do it anymore—they work for me. Beyond that, he took some others and once he did that, that was the end of him.

A reporter : “Were some of the workers taken from you, were some of them young women?”
Trump: “Well I don’t want to say.” “Everyone knows the people who were taken.” , “the answer is yes, they were.”
“People were taken out of the spa . . .’”

A reporter asked: “Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?”
Trump: “I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her.”

Brown University strikes agreement with Trump administration to restore lost federal funding

Brown University will pay $50 million to Rhode Island workforce development organizations in a deal with the Trump administration that restores lost federal research funding and ends investigations into alleged discrimination, officials said Wednesday.

The university also agreed to several concessions in line with President Donald Trump's political agenda. Brown will adopt the government's definition of “male” and “female,” for example, and must remove any consideration of race from the admissions process.
