8 分钟I'm Jonathan Swan. I'm a White House reporter for the New York Times.
Our job as reporters is to dig out information that powerful people don't want published,
to take you into rooms that you would not otherwise have access to.
There's no robot that can go and talk to someone who was in the Situation Room and find out what was really said.
In order to get original information that's not public, we actually need journalists to do that.
I'm asking you to consider subscribing to the New York Times.
Independent journalism is important.
And without you, we simply can't do it.
From the New York Times, it's the headlines.
I'm Tracy Mumford.
Today's Thursday, July 31st.
Here's what we're covering.
There's less than 24 hours to go until President Trump's trade deadline.
Earlier this month, he threatened more than a dozen countries,
including some of the US's closest allies,
with steep tariffs if they didn't strike a deal before August 1st.
And with time running out, multiple countries have agreed to new trade terms,
some in just the last few hours.
US officials said Thailand and Cambodia came in under the wire,
though the details haven't been made public.
