US President Donald Trump says he intends to impose 30 per cent tariffs on goods imported to the US from the EU and Mexico, starting from the first of August. He blames both the US trade deficit with the EU for this announcement, alongside Mexico's failure to stop the flow of illicit drugs into the US. An economist gives us his thoughts. Also on the programme: We speak to a relative of a passenger killed in last month’s Air India plane crash after it emerged that fuel switches were cut off before the incident; two Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank according to the Palestinian health ministry; and Polish tennis player Iga Switek wins this year’s women’s Wimbledon title.

  • Hello, and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service.

  • Coming to you live from London, I'm Paul Henley.

  • Coming up later on the programme,

  • a preliminary investigation is released on last month's Air India crash,

  • which killed 260 people shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad.

  • We'll have reaction from the granddaughter of one of the victims.

  • For me, I can't sort of stop thinking about what my grandma's...

  • final moments must have must have looked like.

  • I guess it does bring us a little bit closer to understanding what happened.

  • But mostly the answers are really like incomplete.

  • And yeah, it doesn't help the grieving process.

  • But first, President Trump has made another tariff threat.

  • Does he mean it this time?

  • Mr Trump's published letters saying he intends to impose 30% tariffs on goods imported to the US from the EU and from Mexico,

  • starting from the 1st of August,

  • blaming both the US trade deficit with the EU and Mexico's role in the flow of illicit drugs into the US,

  • especially fentanyl.

  • The EU has been a frequent target of President Trump's criticism.

  • Here he is speaking on a live stream to the World Economic Forum back in January.

  • From the standpoint of America, the EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly.
