Europe News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now ·

2026/07/24

The U.S. just slapped a 10% tariff on EU goods — citing forced labor concerns — even though the EU’s own rules won’t take effect until 2027. Surprisingly, this move stays within last year’s trade truce, which capped EU tariffs at 15%. The EU is cautiously accepting it but watching closely as other investigations into industrial overcapacity and drug pricing loom. Some EU officials are unhappy, arguing their labor laws are already strong — with paid vacations and decent conditions — making the

The White House is revving up tariffs on Canada and generic drugs in a high-stakes political gamble—aimed at forcing trade concessions and reshoring drug production—but risking voter backlash as everyday prices climb. With elections looming and the economy under pressure, the move could backfire if Americans feel the pinch on bacon and heart meds. While exemptions on energy and groceries are offered, experts doubt they’ll shield consumers. Canada’s warning of economic fallout, especially in key

France’s Prime Minister’s office is pushing for a fair, bank-backed campaign financing system to level the playing field for all political parties — especially amid reluctance from lenders to fund far-right groups like the National Rally. With candidates relying on bank loans (partially backed by the state), the goal is to prevent foreign interference and ensure no party is blocked by financial gatekeepers. While some claim this isn’t targeted at the National Rally, the initiative aims to

British retail sales surged in June with a 1% jump—way better than the predicted 0.3% drop—driven by heatwave shoppers buying ACs and gear, plus World Cup hype. This follows a rebound in May and April’s numbers, with year-over-year growth hitting 4.2% (vs. expected 2.3%). Inflation cooled slightly on gas and food, and jobs held steady, sparking optimism—but analysts caution that energy costs could soon dampen this momentum.

Voters across France are abandoning the political center in droves, turning to the far-right not because of ideology, but because mainstream parties offer no real answers to societal crises. New research reveals a deep sense of moral and political disorder, with many seeing Marine Le Pen’s party as the only viable option — not for its platform, but for its perceived clarity amid chaos.

While nearly all imports are targeted, oil, gas, fertilizer, and key foods are exempt. Legal footing is stronger this time, using a trade law precedent that’s held up in court.
