An armed attack has carried out by an unknown person or persons to the vehicle of the casino manager Halil Falyalı in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Falyalı’s vehicle was shot multiple times with an automatic firearm near his house in Çatalköy. According to the local officials Falyalı was seriously injured in the attack, and he transferred to the Near East University Hospital by ambulance after the first intervention in Kyrenia Akçiçek Hospital. It’s been stated that Falyalı and his driver lost their lives as a result of the armed attack. Officials said, Falyalı’s wife and child were in another vehicle during the attack and escaped unharmed. Meanwhile, a large number of police teams were dispatched to the scene, and an investigation was launched regarding the attack.
EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.
Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”
The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.
Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
