EXC: The Trump administration cancelled the announcement of a global declaration on free speech after failing to bring in enough countries to sign it

Event announcing the declaration was scheduled to take place on UNGA sidelines scrapped with days to go

[Max Kendix @MaxKendix]

“A few eastern European countries signed up, and that was about it,” one US official said. Another added: “It’s been botched from the beginning.”

NEW: Andy Burnham is set to meet President Trump for the first time next week in New York, The Times understands

The meeting is expected to take place at the United Nations general assembly, which both leaders will attend on Tuesday.

EXC: US set to launch tariff investigations into EU and other countries over tech policies this month.

Trump's threats in July are coming through. But negotiators involved say UK likely *not* to be included amid warmer relationship with the administration

[Max Kendix @MaxKendix]

Would be the latest of several rounds of tariff threats dodged by UK, whose trade deal last year still stands, freezing levels at 10% tariffs

UK also has new anti-competition law targeted at big tech, but EU has been using theirs a lot more forcefully
