Global markets are submerged as Trump formalizes new rates
President Donald Trump formalized on Thursday a series of high rates and recent commercial agreements, an escalation that occurred only a few hours before a self -imposed deadline on August 1.

It also establishes unilateral rates for partners who did not reach agreements for the deadline of Friday, such as Israel, Switzerland and Taiwan. The Switzerland rate will be established higher than the previously threatened, with 39%, while Taiwan will establish lower, with 20%.
According to the order, the new duties will not enter into force until August 7. The goods sent by Vessel, which represent more than half of the imports of the USA, will not be affected by the new tariff rates until October 5.
The movements effectively restore the commercial relations of the world, apparently to benefit the US with expensive rates that are not seen in almost a century. Stock markets worldwide fell early Friday in response to agitation, from modest dives in the United Kingdom and Germany to larger falls in Japan and the most dramatic, South Korea, almost 4% since its opening.
Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was “disappointed” that Trump would have decided to increase rates from 25% to 35% in all goods not covered by the Canada-Mexico trade agreement.
Triumph He told NBC News in an exclusive interview which is “too late” for other countries to avoid rates in place next week. However, he also said that his door will always be open to convincing offers: “It does not mean that someone does not come in four weeks and says we can make some kind of treatment.”
On Thursday, Trump agreed a 90 -day extension in conversations with Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. Mexico is the largest individual business partner in the United States.
In the midst of all changes, uncertainty is likely to remain for consumers and companies. The economy will be nervous until tariffs are really established.

The family of Virginia Giuffre, who faced years of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and died for suicide earlier this year, wanted the archives related to him to be launched, his family said.

Ice recruitment movements alien some local law leaders of the law
A new ICE tactic to aggressively recruit local police officers is angry at some leaders, including sheriff that support the Trump administration.
ICE sent a recruitment email to the agencies involved in its 287 (G) program, by virtue of which local agencies are associated to help with the application of immigration. The email tries to recruit staff for mass deportation efforts and includes a possible signing bonus of $ 50,000 as an incentive to join ICE.
“ICE actively trying to use our association to recruit our staff is wrong and we have expressed our concern for ICE leadership,” said the Sheriff’s office, from Pinellas County, of the Sheriff in a statement.
Jonathan Thompson, executive director and CEO of the National Association of the Sheriffs, also addressed the situation in an interview with NBC News. “It was a bad judgment that will cause an erosion of a relationship that has improved in recent times,” he said.
Thompson said the association has heard more than a dozen agencies for application of the law on electronic recruitment emails. He also said that the group has not had news of the DHS since the emails were marked.
“This is an inappropriate behavior of an associated organization,” said Thompson. “We are all on the same ship. And you just don’t treat friends or colleagues like this.”

Franco’s recent article paints a detailed and sobering image of work and the money that occurs to be a caregiver, as well as the demography of caregivers in the United States that depend on Medicaid to financially support their families.
