The Volusia Sheriff’s Office in Florida, USA, responded to the scene after the Ormond Beach Police Department reported a jet ski theft. Police asked for assistance from a family preparing to sail out on a boat to apprehend Ronald Williams, 48, who escaped on the jet ski. The police took the family’s boat and pursued the suspect, after getting family’s permission. Soon after, a police officer who saw the suspect called out, “Put your hands up! Come over here!” and requested that the suspect swim to the boat. Police approached the jet ski and detained Williams after he stated that he couldn’t swim.

After apprehending the suspect, the police returned the boat to the family waiting at the pier. The stolen jet skin was also returned to its owner.

EU Warns US Tariffs Could Trigger De Facto Trade Ban

On Jul 14, 2025

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.
