US agency releases trade barriers report, and more – Five stories you need to know | Reuters

From Reuters.

1. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration released an encyclopedic list of foreign countries’ policies and regulations it regards as trade barriers on Monday, two days before he proposed hitting global trading partners with reciprocal tariffs.

2. China staged military drills off Taiwan’s north, south and east coasts on Tuesday as a "stern warning" against separatism and called Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te a "parasite," as Taiwan sent warships to respond to China’s navy approaching its shores.

3. Aid groups in the worst-hit areas of Myanmar said there was an urgent need for shelter, food and water after an earthquake that killed more than 2,700 people, but said the country’s civil war could prevent help reaching those in need.

4. A French court on Monday barred French far-right leader Marine Le Pen from running in the 2027 presidential election after she was convicted of embezzlement, in a seismic ruling that could fuel global tensions over judicial efforts to police politics.

5. Fifteen emergency and aid workers from the Red Crescent, Palestinian Civil Defense and the United Nations have been recovered from a grave in the sand in the south of the Gaza Strip, U.N. officials said on Monday.
