										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>​Good morning. This is <strong>Mared Gwyn</strong>, writing in the early hours from Brussels.</p>
<p>Even earlier this morning, EU lawmakers and diplomats agreed to implement the controversial trade agreement concluded last summer with the US, after hours of late-night talks in Strasbourg.</p>
<p>Our trade reporter <strong>Peggy Corlin</strong> writes that despite the breakthrough, which is set to soothe soaring transatlantic tensions, the deal remains fragile as long as US President Donald Trump continues to use tariffs as a tool of political pressure.</p>
<p>The negotiations concluded two weeks after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on EU cars if Europeans did not implement the agreement by 4 July. The deal is also considered heavily tilted towards the US, slashing tariffs on US industrial exports to 0% while keeping a baseline tariff on most EU exports at 15%.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>U.S. invited all NATO allies to join Washington-led maritime security initiative</strong></em></p>
<p>The U.S. has invited all NATO allies to join a Washington-led maritime security initiative in the Strait of Hormuz as Britain and France move ahead with their own effort to secure the chokepoint, statements provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation show.</p>
<p>The dueling efforts show Western governments are moving on separate but overlapping tracks to restore freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, where disrupted shipping threatens global energy markets and raises the risk of direct military confrontation with Iran. The U.K. and France have emphasized that their efforts are distinct from the proposed U.S. calls for broader participation in a separate initiative tied to maritime security in the strait.</p>
