Trump's steel tariff raise misses real target, says EU
PARIS — President Donald Trump's decision to double steel import tariffs to 50 percent is a misguided blow to America's allies, the European Union's chief trade negotiator said Wednesday, warning the real threat lies in global overcapacity rather than in the bloc's steel exports. Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, speaking after talks with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Paris, said that Europe was not the source of the problem — which is global overcapacity — that the Trump administration was seeking to address with the tariff. 'We are not bringing problems,' Šefčovič told reporters, pointing to the fact that the EU exports only about 4 million tons of highly specialized steel.

The Daily T: Why it matters that Britain is becoming less white
A stark new report suggests the white British population could become a minority in the UK within the next 40 years. 73 per cent of the British population is white, but is predicted to drop to 57 per cent by 2050. Camilla and Gordon are joined by Professor Matt Goodwin, who led the research, to unpack what the data tells us about the UK's changing demographics, why these shifts are happening, and what they could mean for the country's future. Elsewhere, Donald Trump's administration has renewed their attacks on the BBC over its coverage of Gaza, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing the corporation taking 'the word of Hamas with total truth', an allegation the broadcaster denies. Camilla and Gordon speak to former BBC director of television Danny Cohen, who agrees with the US President, saying that the broadcaster's coverage is 'driving hate' towards Israel and Jews, and that there are 'two tiers of racism at the BBC'.
