14 分钟President Trump ups the ante in talks with the EU and Mexico,
threatening 30 percent tariffs on America's first and second largest trading partners.
Plus, the president clears the way for Ukraine to receive Patriot air defense systems.
And women are falling behind as Americans return to the office.
Remote workers tend to get passed over for promotions more than people who do go to the office more.
So that obviously for economists is concerning when they look at these differential rates of office work for men and women.
It's Monday, July 14th.

And here is the a.m. edition of What's News,
the top headlines and business stories moving your world today.
Mexico and the European Union will face 30% U.S. tariffs starting August 1st unless they strike trade deals with Washington.
Those weekend warnings from President Trump come as both the EU and Mexico have been negotiating with the U.S.
While an EU spokesman has signaled that the bloc is ready to finalize the outline of a deal,
the European Commission is set to present members with a second package of retaliatory tariffs today that it could deploy
if negotiations fail.
Speaking yesterday, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen talked up those measures,
but stopped short of endorsing the EU's Anti-Coercion Instrument,
or ACI, that would let it impose levies on US services,
a move backed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The ACI is created for extraordinary situations.
