President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. will partner with Israel to run new food centers in Gaza to address the worsening humanitarian crisis there, but few details have been offered amid a growing outcry at home and abroad to do more to address starvation in Gaza. Trump said during his return from golfing in Scotland that Israel must 鈥渕ake sure the distribution is proper.鈥�

Meanwhile Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency has proposed revoking the scientific 鈥渆ndangerment finding鈥� that underpins U.S. regulations to fight climate change. The administration is pressing for a deal with Harvard University that would require the Ivy League school to pay far more than the $200 million fine agreed to by Columbia University. And Senate Republicans confirmed former Trump lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime appointment as a federal appeals court judge, dismissing whistleblower complaints that he encouraged Justice Department lawyers to ignore court orders.

Here’s the latest:

Trump says Epstein 鈥榮tole鈥� young women from Mar-a-Lago spa, including Virginia Giuffre

Trump said Tuesday that Jeffrey Epstein 鈥渟tole鈥� young women who worked for the spa at Mar-a-Lago, the latest evolution in his description of how their highly scrutinized relationship ended years ago.

One of the women, he acknowledged, was Virginia Giuffre, who was among Epstein鈥檚 most well-known sex trafficking accusers.

Trump鈥檚 comments expanded on remarks he had made a day earlier, when he said he had banned Epstein from his private club in Florida two decades ago because his one-time friend 鈥渟tole people that worked for me.鈥� At the time, he did not make clear who those workers were.

The Republican president has faced an outcry over his administration鈥檚 refusal to release more records about Epstein after promises of transparency, a rare example of strain within Trump鈥檚 tightly controlled political coalition. Trump has attempted to tamp down questions about the case, expressing annoyance that people are still talking about it six years after Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial, even though some of his own allies have promoted conspiracy theories about it.

A former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, Bove was on Trump鈥檚 legal team during his New York hush money trial and defended Trump in the two federal criminal cases. He will serve on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases from Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Democrats have vehemently opposed Bove鈥檚 nomination, citing his current position as a top Justice Department official and his role in the dismissal of the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. They have also criticized his efforts to investigate department officials who were involved in the prosecutions of hundreds of Trump supporters who were involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Bove has accused FBI officials of 鈥渋nsubordination鈥� for refusing to hand over the names of agents who investigated the attack and ordered the firing of a group of prosecutors involved in those Jan. 6 criminal cases.

Trump鈥檚 latest tariff deadline is approaching

The clock is ticking closer to Trump鈥檚 latest tariff deadline of Aug 1. And while several more deals 鈥� or at least frameworks for deals 鈥� have been reached since his last tariff deadline of July 9 came and went, trade talks with many countries are still in flux.

Trump unveiled sweeping import taxes on goods coming into the U.S. from nearly every country back in April. That included heightened so-called reciprocal rates for certain countries, the bulk of which have since been postponed twice.

The first 90-day pause arrived in an apparent effort to quell global market panic and facilitate country-by-country negotiations.

But three months later, only two deals emerged. And by early July, Trump began sending warning letters that higher tariffs would be imposed against dozens of countries on Aug. 1.

Since then, the U.S. has announced trade frameworks with the European Union, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia. But, key details remain sparse 鈥� or not immediately captured in writing.

Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. will partner with Israel to run new food centers in Gaza to address the worsening humanitarian crisis there, but he and U.S. officials offered few additional details about the plan or how it would differ from existing food distribution centers.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned from a trip to Scotland that Israel would preside over the new food centers 鈥渢o make sure the distribution is proper.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檙e going to be dealing with Israel, and we think they can do a good job of it,鈥� Trump said.

The opaque details come as the Trump administration is facing calls at home and abroad to do more to address the hunger crisis in Gaza. The U.S.鈥檚 close ally, Israel, is at the center of an international outcry as more images of emaciated children continue to emerge.

The White House described it as 鈥渁 new aid plan鈥� to help people in Gaza obtain access to food and promised that details would emerge. It did not elaborate.
