A train crashed into a 32-year-old man who went down to the railroad tracks to pick up cigarette butts, at the Kuřim train station in Brno, Czech Republic. The man could not realize that the train was coming and was thrown from the rails to the platform. He was taken to the hospital by the medical team, and police have confirmed that he survived.
It was determined that the man was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, during health checks.
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.
