The US and European Union agreed a hard-fought deal that will see the bloc face 15% tariffs on most of its exports, including cars. And there may be more progress ahead: Chinese and American officials meet today in Sweden, hoping to extend their current tariff truce. And UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet with Donald Trump in Scotland.

What the EU's Trade Deal With Trump Means

Stock futures gained as the EU deal eased investor fears about a damaging trade war if tensions escalated. The renewed meme stock frenzy shows no sign of dying down either, leaving the pros in a quandary: jump on board or back away?

Chips Ahoy! Tesla tapped Samsung to produce its next-gen AI chips in a $16.5 billion pact that will see it build a new plant in Taylor, Texas. A Tesla engineering executive said the company is in a "big swing moment" with its new products, but investors will be hoping for some big hits as sales continue to slide.

Boeing headed for yet more turbulence. It's preparing for a strike at its St. Louis defense hub after factory workers rejected a contract that would've boosted their wages by 20% over four years. The plane maker is still recovering from a two-month strike that crippled manufacturing at its commercial jet factories last year. Here's how it all went wrong.

Israel increased aid distribution to Gaza over the weekend in an effort to defuse a growing international outcry over hunger after scores of aid groups warned that starvation is spreading. Houthi militants ramped up the pressure, pledging to target ships of any company that deals with Israeli ports.

The Big Take

As Trump announces new trade deals, US protectionism is slowing investment and rewiring supply chains at the expense of the economy, at home as well as around the world.

Trump is winning the trade war with a Hulk Hogan-style strategy of turning staged bravado into real-world wins, John Authers writes. The stock market loves this, but it will be months before we know whether the economy delivers a fall or a knockout.
