The day was dominated by the EU's decision to implement zero tariffs on US products, following Trump's ultimatum. Early morning headlines from FAZ, Zeit, and Spiegel reported the EU's agreement, with Spiegel noting the EU's reluctant acceptance. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to Trump's political dominance, as he ousted Republican critic Thomas Massie in Kentucky primaries (Sueddeutsche, FAZ). In the afternoon, Putin's visit to China took center stage, with multiple outlets (Welt, TAZ, Spiegel) highlighting Russia's subordinate position to Xi. The evening brought revelations of a Mossad plan to install a Holocaust denier as Iran's leader (Spiegel), and reports of Chinese spies targeting German professors (Spiegel, merkur.de). Domestic stories included the TU Berlin's closure due to dilapidation (Zeit) and Söder's push for German missile production (merkur.de).
