(2) President Donald Trump’s new tariff program will leave about €4.2 billion ($5 billion) of European Union exports facing levies above the 15% ceiling agreed in the EU-US trade accord.

(3) The UK’s top banks are resisting a regulatory initiative to boost lending by lowering their capital levels, people familiar with the matter said, casting doubt over an effort to boost growth.

(4) Cuban forces killed four people who had opened fire from a speedboat with Florida tags, an incident with the potential to escalate an already tense standoff with the US.
