12.07.2025 ⇢ The Tariffs' Landing, The Bureau's Turmoil
⌨US media on July 12th prominently featured President Trump's announcement of new 30% tariffs against the European Union and Mexico, set to begin August 1, with later reports assessing corporate and Wall Street reactions. This economic policy became a major focus. Concurrently, the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files continued to dominate political headlines, revealing deep internal conflicts within the Justice Department and FBI, including a Deputy Director considering resignation, and sparking high-profile political disputes and personal attacks, notably concerning Pam Bondi and Rosie O'Donnell. Throughout the day, federal judges issued further orders limiting immigration enforcement, specifically halting indiscriminate arrests and raids in California following a farmworker's injury during an ICE operation. The devastating Texas floods remained a persistent background story, with updates on death tolls and the shift from rescue to recovery efforts.
