Overview

  • Trump told steel workers he will raise US import duties on steel from 25% to 50%, marking an escalation in his trade pressure strategy.
  • A US appeals court lifted an injunction that had blocked nearly all of Trump’s tariffs while it reviews the case, clearing the way for broader implementation.
  • In Switzerland’s Lötschental, a glacier collapse unleashed a landslide that buried the village of Blatten under meters of debris and threatens a Lonza river flood.
  • Poland will hold a Sunday runoff between PiS candidate Karol Nawrocki and former Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski in an election that has shifted the debate rightward.
  • FC Schalke 04 has hired 42-year-old Miron Muslic, the former Plymouth Argyle coach, to steer the club’s second-division campaign.
