Harris to tell forum that 10% US tariffs are 'new normal'
Tánaiste Simon Harris will tell a trade forum today that US tariffs of 10% on exports from Ireland will be the "new normal" but that efforts are continuing to agree zero for zero taxes in some key areas. The meeting takes place a week before the scheduled lifting of a pause on higher tariffs by the US president Donald Trump. The Government's forum is comprised of State agencies, business groups, unions and senior ministers. At present most Irish exports to the US now have tariffs of 10%. But there are significant exceptions including Ireland's pharmaceuticals sector and computer chip manufacturers. Those arrangements were in place temporarily pending a trade deal between the US and EU but they could now become permanent. The EU is reportedly negotiating to keep some sectors free of tariffs and accepting 10% duties on other goods. Today's meeting will also hear an update on the new strategy for the computer chip industry. The forum will also receive an economic assessment of impact of tariffs from Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe. There will also be discussion about how Irish companies can diversify into new markets. Ahead of the meeting, the Tánaiste said Ireland needed an agreement "that has zero-for-zero or as near as possible in as many areas as possible". "We cannot ignore the fact that every single day the trading relationship between the EU and the US is worth more than €4 billion," Mr Harris said.

Trump says Israel has agreed on terms for 60-day ceasefire in Gaza
US President Donald Trump said that Israel has agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and warned Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. Mr Trump announced the development on Tuesday as he prepares to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House next week. The US leader has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war in Gaza. 'My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War,' Mr Trump wrote on social media, saying the Qataris and Egyptians would deliver the final proposal. 'I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.' Displaced Palestinians flee Jabalia (Jehad Alshrafi/AP) Israeli minister for strategic affairs Ron Dermer was in Washington on Tuesday for talks with senior administration officials to discuss a potential Gaza ceasefire, Iran and other matters. Me Dermer was expected to meet vice president JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff. The development came as more than 150 international charities and humanitarian groups called for the disbanding of a controversial Israeli and US-backed system to distribute aid in Gaza because of chaos and deadly violence against Palestinians seeking food at its sites. The joint statement by groups including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty International followed the killings of at least 10 Palestinians who were seeking desperately needed food, witnesses and health officials said. Meanwhile, Israeli air strikes killed at least 37 in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, according to Nasser Hospital. Before Mr Trump's announcement, Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, had warned that his country would respond forcefully to the firing of a missile the military said originated from Yemen. Sirens sounded across parts of Israel, alerting residents to the attack and the launch of two projectiles from Gaza. All were intercepted by Israeli defence systems. The missile launch marked the first attack by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels since the end of the 12-day war initiated by Israel with Iran. Mr Katz said Yemen could face the same fate as Tehran.
