 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The US has now erected a tariff barrier around itself equivalent to that imposed, with disastrous consequences both economically and politically, during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The visit by Huckabee and Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff was aimed at providing cover for the ongoing genocide and forced starvation campaign. At the July 27 public hearing, WSWS labor editor Jerry White reviewed what the IWA-RFC investigation has uncovered so far about the death of the Stellantis autoworker. The family of Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent public accusers of financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, issued a statement Wednesday and gave an interview on Thursday suggesting that President Donald Trump was aware of the criminal actions of Epstein while he associated with the abuser of teenage girls. The Philadelphia municipal strike was not the end but the opening act in a rapid series of confrontations in Philadelphia and beyond. Hargrove was among the principal architects of the union-NDP-Liberal alliance, which has been used to politically suppress the working class for the past quarter-century. Trump's order represents an unprecedented escalation of US imperialist aggression against Latin America. Florida has carried out one-third of the 27 executions so far this year. With 10 more state killings planned, the US is on track to execute 37 people in 2025 compared to 25 in 2024. We are publishing some of the many protest emails and expressions of solidarity from our readers. The government's withdrawal of its wage increase offer, the banning of the Eti Maden strikes, and the complicity of the trade union apparatus indicate that the bourgeoisie's attack on the living conditions of the working class, particularly wages, is being stepped up. The protests erupted in response to austerity measures imposed by the long-ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) government at the behest of the International Monetary Fund. Increases in COVID, RSV, and influenza are the result of governments refusal to enact public health measures and address declining vaccination. Noticeably absent from the hearings Thursday and a previous such event held on July 23rd were Texas governor Greg Abbott and officials from either the Trump administration or the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), who bear the lion's share of blame for the disaster. The NZ population is being kept in the dark about the government's draconian revised anti-terror law that echoes the UK proscription of Palestine Action. The one-day strike by 36,000 nurses and other public healthcare workers is in response to the right-wing government's deepening austerity and privatisation agenda. India: Tamil Nadu middle school teachers demand equal pay; Bangladesh: Gazipur police attack ceramic factory workers; Australia: Queensland teachers demand better pay and conditions; South Australian public sector healthcare strike. The problems health workers sought to resolve through the unprecedented UK strike wave of 2022–24—low pay and the degradation of the National Health Service—are now posed at a more malignant level against a Labour government even less restrained in its hostility than its Conservative predecessor.
