And in An exclusive interview yesterday With the moderator “Meet The Press” of NBC News, Kristen Welker, Trump said he plans to impose tariffs from 15% to 20% in most commercial partners. He dismissed the concerns that the most tariffs could negatively affect the stock market or boost inflation. “I think the tariffs have been very well received,” Trump added.
So far this week, Trump has published letters to 22 countries, not counting Canada, establishing tariff rates. The most pronounced rate is 50% in Brazilian imports. He also announced a 50% rate on copper imports. Trump said the European Union would also receive a letter.
In the broad conversation, Trump also addressed the state of war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump, who has expressed his frustration towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, again echoed that feeling and said he would have “an important statement to do in Russia on Monday,” although he did not explain. Trump also talked about what he said it was a new agreement between the United States and NATO to send more weapons to Ukraine from the United States: “And NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%.”
Less than a week after signing his “great and beautiful bill,” Trump said he would travel “a little” to sell the mass internal policy package to voters. “But honestly,” he said, “it has been so well that I don’t think I have to do it.”

US sees four floods of 1 in 1,000 years in less than a week
President Donald Trump You are ready to visit Kerville, Texas, With the first lady Melania Trump today to meet with the lifeguards and review the damage of the mortal floods that arrived in the region last weekend. At least 120 people have died and more than 170 people are missing, although search and rescue efforts have been transferred to a recovery phase, authorities said.
In her phone call with the “Meet The Press” Kristen Welker, Trump praised the response to the flood, saying “everyone is doing a great job.” But, he said, “I imagine you would put alarms somehow.” The Trump administration has faced a violent reaction from local, state and federal officials that argued that employment cuts to the National Meteorological Service and NOAA, along with the plans to close FEMA, worsened the impact of the storm.
The floods in Texas were notable, with the water levels along the Guadalupe that emerged at almost 30 feet in Hunt on July 4. However, the disaster was only one of at least four rain events of 1 every 1,000 years in the United States to occur during a week.
Last Sunday, the tropical chantal storm caused extensive floods in the central part of North Carolina. On Tuesday in New Mexico, at least three people were killed by devastating sudden floods that swept the town of Roude. That same day in Chicago, 5 inches of rain fell in just 90 minutes on Garfield Park, which caused multiple bailouts on the western side of the city.
A flood of 1 in 1,000 years refers to the probability of 0.1% that its location experiences such an intense flood, an expert explained. But that does not mean that some of those events will not happen every year, and it is likely that climate change also makes them more common. Read the full story here.

Staff selection: A NBC News report helped her recognize liver damage
A report published last year found that 15 million Americans take a certain type of supplement that could be harmful to their liver. Some of the main liver researchers in the United States told us that as more people take herbal and dietary supplements, doctors have been dealing with more cases of liver damage associated with them.
Our first segment in “Nightly News” in May had a 54 -year -old healthy man who experienced liver damage linked to high doses of turmeric he was taking. That’s what Katie Mohan’s attention caught.
Mohan had begun to take daily pills of turmeric and realized that he had the same symptoms of stomach pain, nausea and fatigue. His skin had also become yellow, a distinctive sign of liver damage. He immediately looked for medical help, and it turns out that right in time. “Katie was actually a step before the complete liver damage, liver failure, which required a liver transplant,” said his doctor. Mohan then contacted NBC News to let us know what happened, And we share your experience in a follow -up story. – Marina Kopf, associated producer
