SUMMARY: The U.S. and the European Union have reached a major trade deal in Scotland just before President Trump’s August 1 deadline. The agreement lowers threatened tariffs from 30% to 15% on most goods, including automobiles. The EU will purchase \$750 billion in U.S. energy and invest \$600 billion more in America. All EU countries will trade with the U.S. at zero tariffs, and the EU will buy significant U.S. military equipment. The EU, the world’s second-largest economy, avoided retaliatory tariffs on American products. President Trump is also negotiating with other countries and will meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to finalize a previous trade deal.

SUMMARY: Keith Holland, a South Carolina veteran, joined Texas flood search efforts with his dog through Heroes for Humanity. After a two-day trip, he found strong community support in Texas, with locals providing meals, supplies, and lodging for search teams. The built-up area allowed for easy coordination and assistance. The search was mentally challenging, especially due to the high number of missing children and fatalities. The extreme heat, debris, and dirty water affected the dogs’ stamina, limiting searches to two hours and two missions daily.

Powell disputed Trump’s figures, noting Trump included costs from a separate, already completed building. The renovation, budgeted at $1.9 billion in 2022, has increased due to higher security requirements, historic preservation, tariffs, and rising materials costs. The project includes modern security features and underground expansions, making it costly. Trump emphasized lowering interest rates to boost the economy but softened his stance on firing Powell.
