China reiterated its previous stance in a statement that came shortly after Mr. Trump said he would hold off on some of the tariffs, and just a day after one of Wall Street’s worst days of the year.

Analysis: Economists say Mr. Trump’s tariffs are causing damage unacknowledged by his administration.

They had planned to visit the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israel’s decision was widely criticized, including by prominent supporters of the country. But President Trump, who had urged Israel to bar the two lawmakers, welcomed the move, writing on Twitter, “Representatives Omar and Tlaib are the face of the Democrat Party, and they HATE Israel!” Context: Mr. Trump’s intervention was extraordinary. U.S. presidents have traditionally not enlisted the help of overseas allies to take action against domestic political adversaries.

Gibraltar impounded the ship six weeks ago, saying it was carrying oil to Syria in violation of the embargo. Iran gave no immediate signal about whether it would in turn release the British tanker it seized in retaliation, but Iranian officials had previously hinted at the possibility of a trade that would de-escalate a confrontation with the U.S. and Britain.

Bill de Blasio, one of the Democratic presidential candidates, and the butter cow statue in Iowa last week. Erin Schaff/The New York Times The tradition dates back to 1911, when J.K. Daniels created the first one using wood, metal, wire and steel mesh to give shape to 600 pounds of pure cream butter. The 8-foot-long, 5.5-foot-high creation — about the size of a real cow, and refrigerated against the late summer heat — became an annual fixture. Since then, four successors have carried on the tradition. The current sculptor, Sarah Pratt, took on the role in 2006 after a mere [15 years](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfOL28P4RGAWh0dHA6Ly93d3cuaW93YXN0YXRlZGFpbHkuY29tL25ld3MvZnJvbS1idXR0ZXItY293cy10by1idXR0ZXItY3ktc2FyYWgtcHJhdHQtaG9ub3JzLWRhaXJ5L2FydGljbGVfZmViMmI5ZDYtMWQ1OC0xMWUyLTk0NjAtMDAxYTRiY2Y4ODdhLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwODE2JnNlY3Rpb249YmFja1N0b3J5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNjgyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYyMTAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyb249YmFja1N0b3J5VwNueXRCCgAmvDhWXbBer9RSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) as an apprentice.
