Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day

On today's podcast:

(1) Senior US officials said President Donald Trump’s tariff defeat at the Supreme Court won’t unravel deals negotiated with US partners as they sought to defend the administration’s assertive trade policies. 

(2) The European Parliament’s trade chief will propose freezing the ratification process of the European Union’s trade deal with the US until they’ve received details from President Donald Trump’s administration on its trade policy.

(3) After boasting for months about its preferential trade deal with US President Donald Trump, the UK is at risk of becoming the biggest loser in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his global tariffs.

(4) Oil fell as investors weighed the odds of a nuclear deal between the US and Iran, with more negotiations on the issue expected later this week as American forces mass in the Middle East.

(5) Hungary plans to block every European Union decision concerning Ukraine, including a new sanctions package against Russia and key loans, until oil starts flowing again through the Druzhba pipeline in western Ukraine.

(6) Berlin dentists entrusted €2.2 billion ($2.6 billion) in retirement savings to a group of colleagues with more experience filling cavities than managing money. Now half of it is gone.
