Trump news at a glance: president on tariff blitz ahead of August deadline
Donald Trump's administration has imposed sanctions against the judge overseeing the prosecution of his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro and hit Brazil with huge tariffs amid accusations from the country's president that Trump has launched 'a direct attack on Brazilian democracy'. The US president has partly attributed his 50% tariff to his outrage at the supposed political 'witch-hunt' against Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian president, who is on trial over an alleged coup attempt after the 2022 election. Amid a blitz of tariff announcements, Trump also hit India with a 25% levy and an extra 'penalty' because it buys arms and energy from Russia, while imposing a 15% rate on South Korea as part of a trade deal that avoids even higher levies. Domestically, experts say they have 'enormous concerns' with a Trump administration initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data and medical records on new apps and systems run by private tech companies. Here are the key stories. Trump accused of attack on Brazil's democracy over Bolsonaro judge sanctions Allies of Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva have accused Donald Trump of launching 'a direct attack on Brazilian democracy' after the US treasury slapped sanctions on Alexandre de Moraes, the supreme court judge widely credited with helping save Brazilian democracy from a 2022 rightwing coup. The controversial US move was announced on Wednesday by the secretary of the treasury, Scott Bessent, shortly before Trump followed through on a threat to hit Brazilian imports with 50% tariffs by signing an executive order 'to deal with the recent policies, practices and actions by the government of Brazil'. Read the full story Brazilian president hits back as US tariffs threaten trade showdown Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has said he does not fear getting on the wrong side of Donald Trump as South America's largest economy braces for the introduction of 50% tariffs.

Read the full story US to impose 15% tariffs on South Korea as part of trade deal, Trump says The president has said the US will charge a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea as part of an agreement with the key Asian trading partner and ally that avoids even higher levies. The arrangement – announced shortly after Trump met with Korean officials at the White House – came during a blizzard of trade policy announcements ahead of a self-imposed 1 August deadline, when the president has promised higher tariffs will kick in on US imports from a range of countries. Read the full story Trump administration launching health tracking system with big tech's help The US government is pushing an initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data and medical records on new apps and systems run by private tech companies, promising easier to access health records and wellness monitoring. 'There are enormous ethical and legal concerns,' said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor who specialises in public health.

The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, later announced his country also planned to formally recognise Palestine in September.
