Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Jeanine Herbst. The European Union is demanding an explanation for President Trump's decision to impose a 15% tariff on imports to the US after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping global import duties.

A deal is a deal, the European Commission says in a written response to President Trump's announcement of new tariffs. It adds that as the U.S. s largest trading partner, the European Union wants full clarity on Washington's next steps and expects an agreement the two sides made last August to be respected. That accord set a 15% import duty on most EU goods other than those which are already covered by other U.S. tariffs, such as steel and aluminum. Some products even have zero tariffs in the agreement. In exchange, the EU agreed to remove many tariffs on U.S. imports. The European Parliament was due to vote on the U S. EU trade deal Tuesday, but the head of the trade committee says he now wants to delay it. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz in Brussels.

You're listening to NPR News from Washington. It was the hockey matchup. Fans in North America were hoping for the United States and Canada for the gold medal, and it lived up to expectations as the U.S. won in a dramatic overtime 2 to 1. Steve Futterman reports. It was the U.S. men's first gold in hockey since 1980.

It was an emotional, hard fought match with everything on the line. The U.S. scored first six minutes into the game. Canada tied it one to one at the end of the second. Neither team scored in the third, sending the game into overtime. And just a minute 42 into the extra period, the U.S. s Jack Hughes had an open shot to the left of the net. He calmly put it through, setting off a wild celebration. Here's Hughes after the game.
