Hey, this is Bailey at The Pore Over. And this is Joe at The Pore Over. Today we're talking about President Trump announcing fresh tariffs on the EU, Mexico, and Canada, a confusing preliminary report on last month's Air India crash, who won at Wimbledon, and other top news for Monday, July 14th. Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pour-over. Here's your quote of the day, The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Let's get started with some espresso shots. President Trump is giving August 1 the full tariff treatment. Over the weekend, Trump announced 30 percent tariffs on Mexico and the EU following Thursday's announcement of 35 percent tariffs for Canada, all set to take effect August 1. Trump acknowledged Mexico's help slowing fentanyl and illegal migration, but said it hasn't done enough to stop North America from becoming a quote, narco-trafficking playground. The EU called the tariffs unfair and promised it's quote, ready to take necessary countermeasures.

Though the White House warned any retaliatory tariffs would be matched and added on top of the 30% baseline. Meanwhile, Canada paused its promised retaliation of 50% tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum while negotiations continue. The U.S. Treasury posted a surprise $27 billion surplus in June, fueled partly by record tariff revenue, but it remains on track for a larger than last year deficit.

on track for a larger than last year deficit. Regardless of what happens in the global economy, God will remain in control. In the midst of uncertainty on earth, set your hope on the abundance we will enjoy with Christ when He comes. First Peter 1, 3-4 says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, unfading, kept in heaven for you.

New details from last month's Air India crash are raising eyebrows. A preliminary report indicates that both fuel switches in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner were flipped just three seconds after takeoff, immediately cutting engine power. In an audio recording from the cockpit, one pilot asks why the other, quote, did the cutoff, which the other pilot denies. Investigators say the switches are designed with added safety features to prevent accidental flipping and are typically used in the event of an engine fire or to turn off the engines once at an airport gate.

The report didn't mention any other emergencies or mechanical issues, but officials urged the public not to jump to conclusions and await the final report. The crash killed 260 people on board and on the ground, making it the deadliest aviation accident in over a decade. Here's a verse to consider when global news makes you feel like you're inside a spy movie. First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity." 1 Timothy 2, verses 1 through 2.

Iga Świętek and Janek Sinner are Wimbledon champions.

In team ball sports, tonight is the annual home run derby in Atlanta, where seven of the eight participants are first timers, and tomorrow is the MLB's 95th Midsummer Classic. Too often we let eternally insignificant things like sports control our mood and behavior. It's not wrong to enjoy these things, like sports, control our mood and behavior. It's not wrong to enjoy these things,

but remember, whether your team wins or loses, nothing of true importance has changed. Hebrews 12, two tells us to keep our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
