** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Tuesday, July 24th.

** Trade Aid
------------------------------------------------------------
The Trump administration today announced an emergency-aid package of $12 billion for farmers amid growing concerns that the U.S. agricultural sector could suffer from President Trump’s escalating trade dispute with some of America’s largest trading partners, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Vivian Salama reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-says-tariffs-are-the-greatest-1532437480?mod=hp_lead_pos1&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=760a6932e9-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_24_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-760a6932e9-145367789) .

** North Korean Test Site
------------------------------------------------------------
Reports that North Korea has started dismantling facilities at a rocket test site are consistent with a commitment Pyongyang made at a summit last month, but it must go further and fully denuclearize, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said today, as Reuters’ Alexandria Sage reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa/pompeo-says-north-korea-test-site-reports-consistent-with-commitments-idUSKBN1KE2IR?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=760a6932e9-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_24_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-760a6932e9-145367789) .

** Israel Shoots Down Syrian Fighter Jet
------------------------------------------------------------
The Israeli military shot down a Syrian fighter jet after it entered Israeli airspace today, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said, raising fears of further military escalation in the region, as CNN’s Oren Liebermann, Amir Tal and James Masters report (https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/24/middleeast/israel-syrian-fighter-jet-intl/index.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=760a6932e9-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_07_24_07_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-760a6932e9-145367789) .

** Critical Quote
------------------------------------------------------------

** “This trade war is cutting the legs out from under farmers and White House’s ‘plan’ is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches. This administration’s tariffs and bailouts aren’t going to make America great again, they’re just going to make it 1929 again.”
------------------------------------------------------------
— Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb)

Ahead of his meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Washington, President Trump tweeted, “Tariffs are the greatest!” as a warning that trade partners should negotiate a “fair deal.” In today's new episode, The Trade Guys discuss whether this is a harbinger of the president’s latest plan to slap 25 percent tariffs on foreign autos and auto parts. Who wins and who loses when tariffs are placed on imported cars and car parts?
