Trump’s steel tariffs could trigger broader trade war as EU threatens ‘proportionate countermeasures’

He has already ordered tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico. The Canada and Mexico tariffs have since been delayed one month.
Europe is not alone in pushing back against the U.S. tariffs. Last week, China announced new levies against select U.S. imports.

How to make/keep friends.


All goes well in the US. Make America Small Again (with a bulldozer).

The Department of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire Elon Musk, has moved quickly to curb government spending at federal agencies including the U.S. Agency for International Development and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Under Musk’s leadership, DOGE has launched plans to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development while also telling staffers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop work until further notice.

The next target may be the Department of Education, Van Hollen said, followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and then the Social Security Administration.


Tesla’s stock price has slid for five straight days, falling close to 17% over that stretch to $328.50, and wiping out over $200 billion in market cap.

Tesla shares dropped 6% on Tuesday after Chinese rival BYD announced plans to develop autonomous vehicle technology with DeepSeek, and said it would offer its Autopilot-like system in nearly all of its new cars, adding to fears that Elon Musk’s company is falling behind the competition.

There’s also growing concerns surrounding Musk’s distractions outside of Tesla, after news surfaced that the world’s richest person is offering to lead an investor group in purchasing OpenAI, while he steps up his work with President Donald Trump’s White House.

Gold prices edged higher on Thursday, as markets closely tracked developments in U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff plans, which could ignite a global trade war, while investors awaited crucial U.S. data due later in the day.

Trump said that he would impose reciprocal tariffs as soon as Wednesday evening on every country that charges duties on U.S. imports, in a move that ratchets up fears of a widening global trade war and threatens to accelerate U.S. inflation.

Bullion is considered a hedge against inflation, but higher interest rates dampen the non-yielding asset’s appeal.
