    European officials have a little over a month to hammer out the terms of a trade agreement with the mercurial Trump administration, or risk steep tariffs from the bloc’s largest trading partner. The July 9 deadline for a U.S.-EU trade deal comes at a chaotic time for U.S. trade policy, as courts challenge the legality of Trump’s use of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, a 1977 law that allows the president to bypass Congress during an economic emergency, to impose steep tariffs.

    By the time you read this, I’ll be OOO, taking a ritual vacation with a group of my favorite people. I wrote a little essay for Lazo Magazine about the long weekend that this group and I spent together in November 2023. That weekend ultimately led to significant life changes for several of us.

NEW for @nationaljournal: I wrote about Trump’s plans to build a "Golden Dome” missile defense system over the United States and how it could upend decades of U.S. nuclear deterrence. https://t.co/OOtREqG6Sb
