Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jeanine Herbst. President Trump visited the Park Police headquarters in Washington, D.C. tonight, giving a pep speech outside the building to National Guard troops and police. This after he deployed National Guard troops along with federal law enforcement officers to D.C. saying crime and hopeless homelessness rather were out of control even as federal and local stats show violent crime has been going down. Trump says they're working on sprucing up the nation's capital.

Under the deal, the U.S. will impose 15% tariffs on most EU imports as previously announced, but the U.S. will also charge higher tariff European made cars until the EU lowers tariffs on US Goods. The new information is not a formal agreement, but rather comes from a fact sheet released by the White House this morning. And there are still big questions. The fact sheet acknowledges that the two parties will still need to negotiate topics like cybersecurity and rules of origin. In addition, while Trump has touted an expected $600 billion EU investment in the U.S. it it's not clear that investment will actually hit those levels. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.

In the heart of Gaza City, hundreds of Palestinians chant in unison, the people want to end the war. Many carry signs, some wave Palestinian flags and others simply raise their voices in protest. Among them, young girls hold up a large empty plate with the word Gaza written in the center, a quiet but powerful symbol of the hunger gripping the population. The demonstration was organized by the Palestinian Journalist association to protest the Israeli military planned advance. And what many here fear is is Israel's intention to push them out of their city for good. Gaza City officials say the city currently hosts around 1.2 million displaced residents. Israel says its plans to order them to move to the southern Gaza. Anis Baba and Pyoron use Gaza City.
