Live updates: Texas barrels toward new district maps; White House details EU trade deal

Date: Category:US Views:1 Comment:0


The Texas House gave its seal of approval to new congressional district maps, and the state Senate takes up the effort on Thursday. President Trump is pushing for the new lines to give Republicans a boost of five seats in Congress.

California’s effort to counter Texas redistricting is full steam ahead, with both legislature chambers debating the issue Thursday. The California Supreme Court on Wednesday handed state Democrats a win, rejecting a petition filed by state Republican legislators seeking to halt Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) plan to redistrict California’s congressional map.

The Trump administration on Thursday morning rolled out details of its trade deal with the European Union, setting its exports tariff at 15 percent. The EU has agreed to eliminate all tariffs on industrial goods imported from the U.S. and to widen preferential market access to U.S. seafood and agricultural products.

At the White House, Trump will sign executive orders at 3 p.m.
