Is het de „best mogelijke deal”, of een „akkoord waarbij grote concessies zijn afgedwongen bij de EU”? Brussel hijst de vlag omdat een handelsoorlog met de VS is afgewend, critici zien dat Trump zich opmaakt voor nieuwe handelsconflicten.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with whom the president was meeting, said he thinks the British public is 'revolted' by the pictures being broadcast from the Gaza Strip. Trump added that the U.S. will set up 'food centers' without fences to ease access

De Verenigde Staten gaan 15% heffen op alle invoer uit de EU. ‘Het grootste van alle akkoorden’, noemde Trump de overeenkomst.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he had reached a trade agreement with European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen. “We have reached a deal. It’s a good deal for everybody,” Trump told reporters after talks with von der Leyen at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland. The EU chief also hailed it as a “good deal”. Earlier, the US president told reporters he felt the two sides had a 50-50 chance of a deal with the European Union. The bloc faces an across-the-board US levy of 30 per cent unless it strikes a trade pact by August 1. Washington warned on Sunday there would be “no extensions” and Trump confirmed “the deals all start on August 1”. Von der Leyen’s European Commission, negotiating on behalf of EU countries, is pushing hard for a deal to salvage a trading relationship worth an annual $1.9 trillion in goods and services. The EU chief said at the start of the talks at Trump’s luxury golf resort in southwestern Turnberry that if they reached a deal, “I think it would be the biggest deal each of ...

După o serie de succese militare care i-au consolidat poziția ca putere dominantă în Orientul Mijlociu, Israelul pare să acționeze aproape fără constrângeri, iar administrația Trump începe să resimtă tensiunea acestei noi realități strategice, scrie The Wall Street Journal.

United States President Donald Trump’s superpowers as a public figure have long included the ability to redirect, evade and deny. But the Republican’s well-worn methods of changing the subject when a tough topic stings politically are not working as his White House fends off persistent unrest from his usually loyal base about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Trump has scolded reporters, claimed ignorance and offered distractions in an effort to quash questions about Epstein and the suspicions still swirling around the disgraced financier’s case years after his 2019 death in prison. The demand for answers has only grown. “For a president and an administration that’s very good at controlling a narrative, this is one that’s been harder,” said Republican strategist Erin Maguire, a former Trump campaign spokeswoman. Unlike political crises that dogged Trump’s first term, including two impeachments and a probe into alleged campaign collusion with Russia, the people propelling the push for ...

US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand had agreed to meet immediately to quickly work out a ceasefire, as he sought to broker peace after three days of fighting along their border left at least 33 people dead. In a series of social media posts during a visit to Scotland, Trump said he had spoken to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand’s acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, warning them that he would not make trade deals with either of their governments if the border conflict continued. Following calls for restraint on both sides from Trump’s senior aides, he became directly involved on Saturday, speaking to each leader and saying he relayed messages back and forth. “Just spoke to the prime minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the war with Thailand,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network. “I have just spoken to the acting prime minister of Thailand, and it was a very good conversation,” he said soon after in a new post. “Thailand,...

Trump made the comments to reporters at the White House one day after envoy Steve Witkoff announced that the U.S. is recalling its team from Israel-Hamas cease-fire negotiations following what he described as a 'selfish' and unconstructive response from Hamas

Leeghoofd, absolute idioot, erg dom mens met laag IQ, of wat vriendelijker: meneer te weinig, te laat. Trump is bijzonder creatief in het bedenken van scheldwoorden voor Jerome Powell, de president van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Maar waarom ligt Trump op ramkoers met de man die hij nota bene zelf heeft benoemd in zijn vorige ambtstermijn?

Small business owners used the festive backdrop of Comic-Con on Thursday to discuss a sobering topic: the negative impact that US President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs are having on the toy industry. “Not the most sexy topic,” Jonathan Cathey, chief executive of collectibles company The Loyal Subjects, admitted at a panel titled “Toys, Tariffs, and Trade Wars” at the four-day convention in San Diego, California. “But this ultimately affects you guys, it affects the end user,” he said. “Prices will go up, and our rate of sales will go down.” Toy companies have been fretting about the impact of Trump’s global tariff blitz on the industry, particularly when it comes to China. Of over $17 billion worth of toys imported to the United States last year, more than $13bn came from China. But a rollercoaster tariff row between Washington and Beijing has caused havoc for US businesses and their Chinese suppliers. Panel moderator Daniel Pickett argued that the Trump administration is “imposing truly exaggerated, some...

A coalition of crypto, fintech, and retail trade groups has urged President Donald Trump to take a firm stance in defending the nation’s open banking framework, warning that legal challenges by major banks threaten consumer data rights and could derail the administration’s innovation agenda. In a July 23 letter, the Financial Technology Association, Blockchain Association, […] The post Crypto, fintech lobbies urge Trump to defend open banking amid big banks’ legal challenge appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Crypto and fintech groups are urging Trump to defend open banking rules, warning the case could affect access to wallets, DeFi apps, and stablecoins. A coalition of trade groups representing the crypto, fintech, retail, and restaurant industries is urging President Donald Trump to defend open banking rules under a so-called legal attack by the nation’s largest banks. In a letter sent July 23, organizations including the Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation, and the Financial Technology Association claim that the US’s most powerful banks are undermining innovation by suing to block the implementation of new open banking rules and imposing “stunning” new data fees on fintech and crypto apps. On July 11, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan plans to start charging fintech firms fees for access to their customers’ bank account data. According to pricing sheets sent to customers, the fees vary based on how the information is used, with higher charges applied to payments companies. Read more

Columbia says most of its suspended federal funds will be restored as part of deal; Trump administration had suspended funds in March

U.S. President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of “treason” on Tuesday, accusing him, without providing evidence, of leading an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign. A spokesperson for Obama denounced Trump’s claims, saying “these bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.” While Trump has frequently […]

The university has issued suspensions and expulsions in response to disruptive pro-Palestinian protests. 'Disruptions to academic activities violate University policies,' Columbia said, as it faces pressure from the Trump administration to tighten protest rules and curb campus dissent

US President Donald Trump has announced a “massive” trade deal with Japan, as China said it will send its vice premier to US trade talks next week to secure its own agreement ahead of a looming deadline. In an attempt to slash his country’s colossal trade deficit, the US president has vowed to hit dozens of countries with punitive “reciprocal” tariffs if they do not hammer out a pact with Washington by August 1. The Japan agreement, along with another pact with the Philippines also announced on Tuesday, means Trump has now secured five agreements since his administration promised in April “90 deals in 90 days”. The others are with Britain, Vietnam and Indonesia, which the White House said Tuesday would ease critical mineral export restrictions. Negotiations are still ongoing with much larger US trading partners China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union. Representatives from China and the United States will meet next week in the Swedish capital Stockholm to try and hammer out a deal before an August 12 dead...
