A 60-year-old woman named Lisa Edwards died in a police van in Tennessee after being forced to leave the hospital despite feeling unwell and having difficulty breathing. The incident occurred after Edwards was discharged from the hospital and refused to leave. Police were called, and they attempted to force her into a van. When she couldn’t get in, they brought a police van, and Edwards died soon after from a heart attack. The police were not charged.
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.
