EU foreign policy chief skeptical on sanctions against Israel
COPENHAGEN — The European Union’s foreign policy chief expressed doubt Saturday that member states could reach consensus on imposing sanctions against Israel, as EU foreign ministers gathered in Denmark’s capital for an informal meeting on international crises.“I’m not very optimistic,” said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, speaking to reporters before the talks.“Even the option we propose, which is quite a lenient one regarding their participation in the Horizon program, we don’t have a qualified majority together.”Ireland and a handful of other member states have urged the bloc to act quickly, calling for “immediate and concrete measures” in response to what they describe as Israel’s genocidal actions and breaches of human rights obligations under the...

US president Donald Trump.
Appeals court strikes down Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs, leaving fate to Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court has dealt a major blow to President Donald Trump’s trade agenda, ruling that he exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners under emergency powers.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday upheld most of a May decision by the Court of International Trade in New York, which found Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs unlawful.The appeals court concluded in a 7-4 ruling that Congress never intended to grant the president “unlimited authority to impose tariffs” under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.The judges, however, stopped short of immediately striking down the tariffs, allowing them to remain in place while Trump appeals to the U.S. Supreme...
