As Trump's tariff deadline nears, the U.S. is seeking trade proposals from global partners, including the EU and Japan, focused on industrial and agricultural products.

The draft letter, from the office of the United States Trade Representative, suggests an urgency within the administration to complete deals against its own tight deadline.

The Trump administration on Monday asked a U.S. appeals court to pause a second court ruling that found the president had exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on imports, saying the decision jeopardizes trade negotiations with other nations.
