Trump announces outline of deal on tariffs with European Union
Trump said he would impose a 15 percent duty on imports from the European Union, down from his previous threats. The White House did not immediately release specific details of the trade agreement, which are traditionally hundreds of pages long and take years to negotiate.
'I don't think there are too many other factors, other than we're going to get along great,' Trump said.
U.S. importers will be paying the tariffs, whose costs are often passed along to consumers or businesses that buy the imported products.
Trump met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at Trump Turnberry, one of several golf courses that the president owns in Scotland.
Leaders from around the world are rushing to strike trade agreements with Trump ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline, when the White House is expected to begin collecting new tariffs on imports from dozens of countries.
Ahead of the meeting with von der Leyen, Trump told reporters he was not in a good mood and said there were about four sticking points holding up a deal with the 27-nation bloc.
Earlier, he and von der Leyen both put the odds of reaching an agreement at about 50-50, but the head of the E.U. executive branch appeared eager to appeal to Trump's vision of himself as a tough negotiator and dealmaker.
For the E.U., a 15 percent blanket tariff is far worse than previous ambitions of European officials, who had offered 'zero-for-zero' tariffs with the U.S. on industrial goods at the start of Trump's trade blitz. But the bloc has sought to avoid an all-out trade war with its traditionally closest commercial and military ally.

Dave Ramsey Caller Says Her Husband Who Earns 3 Times More Accuses Her Of 'Financial Abuse' And Has Her Mother-In-Law Plotting Their Divorce
A woman named Quinn from Houston called into 'The Ramsey Show' with a direct and emotionally charged question: 'Am I the financial abuser in my marriage, or is it actually my husband?' She explained to co-hosts Dave Ramsey and George Kamel that her husband earns about $140,000 a year and is applying for a position that could pay up to $200,000 with bonuses. Quinn, on the other hand, earns $50,000 and is currently in graduate school. Despite the wide income gap, her husband accuses her of financial abuse. Separate Finances, Growing Tensions Quinn said the couple keeps separate bank accounts, something she claims was her husband's idea from the start of their relationship. 'I wanted joint even before we got married,' she said. 'But he insisted on having separate for the time being.'

'The reason that I have more money in my bank account is because I actually sold my vehicle,' Quinn explained, adding that he has about $10,000 in savings and makes around $7,000 a month. Kamel wasn't having it. 'So if you transferred all of your money to his account, now he's the abuser because he has more than you?' he asked sarcastically. He later cut to the heart of the matter: 'There's no abuse here. It's just stupidity.' 'You guys are like Venmoing each other, going tit for tat and scoreboards, and you have more than me this month,' he said with Ramsey adding, 'This is not abuse by either one of you, and that is not a word you should use about your spouse.'

Deeper Marital Problems And A Meddling Mother-in-Law As the conversation progressed, it became transparent that the financial tension was just one layer. Quinn revealed her husband is secretly planning a divorce with his mother. 'I found emails that were between his mother and he where he was claiming that I am coercively controlling him, that I'm financially abusing him,' she said. 'And she was talking to him about how she's going to pay for his retainer for his lawyer.' Quinn also shared that her husband gave her access to his phone due to a past porn addiction, which is how she discovered the emails. 'He claims that he only does that because he's upset,' she said, but Ramsey wasn't buying it: 'He's a child. He's being a little boy and he ran to his mommy.' She added that the couple had agreed to cut contact with his mother after some prior issues, but her husband violated that This Isn't About Money, It's About A Failing Marriage Ramsey stressed the importance of joint budgeting and shared goals in a marriage. 'You do a combined budget to reach towards the goals that we both believe we want our future to look like,' he said. 'Because you are no longer roommates.' Ultimately, the hosts agreed that what started as a financial question revealed much deeper marital problems. As Ramsey put it, 'The whole discussion started out as a separate account discussion and turns out that wasn't the problem. It was masking the real problem. The real problem is mother-in-law.'

Tesla awards CEO Musk millions of shares valued at about 29 billion dollars
Tesla is awarding CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares of restricted stock valued at approximately 29 billion US dollars (£22 billion), just six months after a judge ordered the company to revoke his massive pay package. The electric vehicle maker said in a regulatory filing on Monday that Mr Musk must first pay Tesla 23.34 dollars per share of restricted stock that vests, which is equal to the exercise price per share of the 2018 pay package that was awarded to the company's CEO. In December, Delaware chancellor Kathaleen St Jude McCormick reaffirmed her earlier ruling that Tesla must revoke Mr Musk's multibillion-dollar pay package. She found that Mr Musk engineered the landmark pay package in sham negotiations with directors who were not independent. At the time, Ms McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys, who argued that they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than five billion dollars. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of 345 million dollars. The rulings came in a lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder who challenged Mr Musk's 2018 compensation package. That pay package carried a potential maximum value of about 56 billion dollars, but that sum has fluctuated over the years based on Tesla's stock price. Mr Musk appealed against the order in March. A month later Tesla said in a regulatory filing that it was creating a special committee to look at Mr Musk's compensation as CEO. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives feels Mr Musk's stock award may alleviate some Tesla shareholder concerns. 'We believe this grant will now keep Musk as CEO of Tesla at least until 2030 and removes an overhang on the stock,' Mr Ives wrote in a client note. 'Musk remains Tesla's big asset and this comp issue has been a constant concern of shareholders once the Delaware soap opera began.' Tesla shares have plunged 25% this year, largely due to blowback over Mr Musk's affiliation with President Donald Trump. But Tesla also faces intensifying competition from both the big Detroit car makers, and from China. In its most recent quarter, Tesla reported that quarterly profits plunged from 1.39 billion dollars to 409 million dollars. Revenue also fell and the company fell short of even the lowered expectations on Wall Street. Under pressure from shareholders last month, Tesla scheduled an annual shareholders meeting for November to comply with Texas state law. A group of more than 20 Tesla shareholders, which have watched Tesla shares plummet, said in a letter to the company that it needed to at least provide public notice of the annual meeting.
