The US-EU tariff agreement dominated Italian newspaper coverage, evolving from initial confirmations of the 15% general tariff to intense debate over its implications. Throughout the day, specific details emerged regarding pharmaceuticals, chips, and ongoing wine exemptions, alongside the confirmed suspension of EU counter-tariffs from August 4. European reactions were sharply divided, with France and Germany strongly criticizing the deal as unbalanced and an 'act of submission' to the US, predicting substantial economic damage. Meanwhile, EU officials defended the accord as preventing a wider trade collapse. Concurrently, the Gaza crisis remained prominent, marked by reports of renewed Israeli attacks and fatalities. A significant development was the first-time accusation of genocide by Israeli NGOs. Separately, the Constitutional Court's decision to lift the 240,000 euro public sector salary cap emerged as a key domestic story in the afternoon. Later, President Trump issued a new ultimatum to Moscow for a Ukraine ceasefire.
