- The US struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade. Philip Blenkinsop joins the Reuters World News podcast to share insights on the deal.
- Trump will host British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his golf resort in western Scotland. On the agenda: their recent bilateral trade deal and the war in Gaza. Follow our live updates.

For months, Ukraine has picked off Russian soldiers by the thousand around the frontline city of Pokrovsk, using small drones armed with bombs to tie down a numerically superior force. Now though, Russian troops are creeping forward in a summer offensive that has probed weak spots in Ukraine's defences and last week saw some Russian soldiers enter the city for the first time, according to footage on Ukrainian and Russian Telegram channels and geolocated by Reuters. |
