US consumer confidence improves slightly in July, but Americans remain concerned about tariffs
Americans' view of the U.S. economy improved this month, but Americans remain concerned about the impact of tariffs on their economic futures. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose two points to 97.2 in July, up from 95.2 the previous month. The increase in confidence was in line with analysts' forecasts. In April, American consumers' confidence in the economy sank to its lowest reading since May 2020, largely due to anxiety over the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs. A measure of Americans' short-term expectations for their income, business conditions and the job market rose 4.5 points to 74.4, however that's still well below 80, the marker that can signal a recession ahead. Consumers' assessments of their current economic situation inched down by 1.5 points to 131.5.

Trump promoting Scotland a good thing regardless of politics, says Sarwar
But on Tuesday Mr Sarwar was in a grandstand at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire as an invited guest of the US president, who opened a second course at the club. Donald Trump opened the second course at his Aberdeenshire club on Tuesday (Jane Barlow/PA) Speaking to the PA news agency after the event, the Scottish Labour leader said it was not about politics. 'I disagree with the politics of Donald Trump, I will continue to disagree with much of the politics of Donald Trump, I'll continue to press on issues that I care about both here at home and right across the globe,' he said. 'But what we're doing here today is not endorsing a politician – I have strong political disagreements with the politics of Donald Trump, just as the prime minister has different politics to the president. 'What we're doing here today is recognising the significant investment in Scotland. 'This is a great facility here in Scotland which we want to attract people from right across the globe to come and visit, as well as other parts of the country. 'And we want to demonstrate to people that Scotland's a great place to do business. 'If the most powerful man in the world and possibly the most famous man in the world is helping project Scotland as a good place to do business, then that can only be a good thing, regardless of what people think of the politics.' Pushed on whether an accusation of racism can be described as a 'disagreement', Mr Sarwar did not answer. He said: 'When you have big political disagreements, particularly when you have two countries who share so much in common in terms of heritage, culture, then you still have to have strong person-to-person relationships, strong community-to-community relationships, you've still got to have business-to-business relationships and you've still got to maintain strong ties, even if you disagree on politics, because that's in the national interest.'

Trump breaks silence on NYC shooting
President Donald Trump on Tuesday reacted to the shooting in Midtown Manhattan that resulted in the deaths of four people at Blackstone's New York headquarters on Monday evening. 'I trust our law enforcement agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence,' Trump wrote on social media about the deadliest mass shooting in his 'beloved' native city in 25 years. Shane Tamura, 27, walked into the 345 Park Avenue office building and opened fire with an M4 rifle, killing a security guard and a woman in the lobby, according to reports. He also shot and killed NYPD officer Didarul Islam and Wesley LePatner, a 43 year-old senior managing director at Blackstone. NYPD police officer Islam, 36, had two young sons, and his wife is pregnant with their third child. The president issued his statement on social media as he is currently in Scotland opening a new golf course and holding meetings on trade deals in Europe. After opening fire in the lobby, Tamura traveled on an elevator to the building's 33rd floor offices. 'From our preliminary investigation, he took the wrong elevator bank up to the NFL headquarters,' New York City Eric Adams told CBS. 'Instead, it took him to Rudin Management, and that is where he carried out additional shootings and took the lives of additional employees.' The shooting rampage ended when Tamura turned the gun on himself, committing suicide. Tamura was found with a letter on his body that ranted against the NFL and its handling of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). 'Study my brain please I'm sorry Tell Rick I'm sorry for everything,' the note read. The NFL has offices on the fifth floor of the office building, which Tamura did not reach during his rampage. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed to employees, however, that a staff member was 'seriously injured,' in the attack. Tamura was a standout football player in High School but had a 'documented mental health history' according to New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. He played football high school in Southern California as he attended Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita and Granada Hills Charter High School. Tamura then moved to Las Vegas where he earned his Nevada concealed carry permit. He was also issued a work card by the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board. He drove from Las Vegas to New York last weekend to execute his premeditated attack, law enforcement officials confirmed.
