Ruang Volcano Erupts Again in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi

The Indonesian Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG) reported that Ruang Volcano in North Sulawesi erupted, spewing lava and ash, prompting the escalation of the alert level from 3 to 4. This eruption led to the suspension of all operations at Sam Ratulangi International Airport, with the airport expected to remain closed until noon tomorrow. Additionally, thousands of residents were evacuated from their homes following the volcano’s previous eruption two weeks ago.

EU Warns US Tariffs Could Trigger De Facto Trade Ban

0

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.
