from Make Me Smart · host Marketplace

But a court case brought by a group of small businesses could derail Trump’s tariff agenda. We’ll explain what’s at stake. Plus, a reminder to get outside and enjoy what nature has to offer. (But stay cool!)Here’s everything we talked about today:"EU-US tariffs: five key takeaways from the trade deal" from The Guardian"US and EU reach tariff agreement" from “Marketplace Morning Report” "EU's pledge for $250 billion of US energy imports is delusional" from Reuters "Japan Expects Only 1-2% of $550 Billion US Fund to Be Investment" from Bloomberg"Trump's economy faces historic week on interest rates, trade, jobs and more" from Axios"Trump's trade deals and tariffs are on the chopping block in court.
