President Donald Trump will announce a trade deal with the UK this morning.

That's where we're starting the seven from the Washington Post.

Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

This deal with the U.K. is the first of many the administration hopes to sign with dozens of trading partners in the wake of Trump's tariff blitz.

African country or to Saudi Arabia or any other country where they are not citizens.

The judge said such a move would violate standing court orders intended to shield people from being
