New York won’t rescind Native American mascot ban, despite Trump’s threat of cutting federal funds
SUMMARY: New York education officials refuse to rescind the state’s ban on Native American mascots and team names despite threats from the Trump administration over potential federal funding loss. The state suggested expanding the ban to include offensive mascots from other racial or ethnic groups. The U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office found the ban discriminatory since other ethnic-based mascots like “Dutchmen” remain allowed. New York legal counsel highlighted the federal government’s conflicting stance, noting previous rulings deeming Native American mascots harmful. School districts must comply by June 30 or risk losing state funding, with some granted extensions.

Flurry of trade deals offers relief for some Asian countries, while others wait
SUMMARY: U.S. President Donald Trump has secured trade deals with Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia, reducing threatened tariffs to ease pressure on exports. A deal with China is still under negotiation, with the August 12 deadline likely extended. Despite some tariff relief, steep tariffs on steel and aluminum remain, and other Asian countries, including South Korea and Thailand, have yet to reach agreements. Economists warn these tariffs will slow growth in Asia and globally. The Asian Development Bank lowered growth forecasts for developing Asia, citing risks like trade tensions, geopolitical conflicts, and China’s struggling property market. Uncertainty continues to challenge regional economies.
