Trump rolls back some more tariffs as his ‘Liberation Day’ plans continue to face scrutiny: Live

Donald Trump said this week that tariffs will be announced in the pharmaceutical industry soon.

The policy may affect access to heparin, a widely used blood anti-coagulant made in China.

“If China refuted with restrictions on pharmaceutical exports, it would be a serious concern,” said Prashant Yadav, a senior fellow for global health at the foreign relations Council. The Washington Post.

The Trump administration pursued the aggressive tariff policy with the aim of bringing manufacturing opportunities that returned to the US overseas

However, some argue that this repetition will not be a positive development, and that the US should rather focus on supporting the kind of high-tech manufacturing that has entered to replace it.

“The textile industry is dead,” said Adolphus Jones, 71, a retired textile factory worker from Union, South Carolina. The New York Times.

The region was once a pivot for such manufacturing, where workers paid low wages and had lung conditions under the exposure of particles. After such work was outsourced, the state worked to attract businesses in the bioscientist and renewable energy industries, and credit a large BMW factory with the lifting of the area’s fate.

“Why would you want to bring it back here?” Jones said about the textile industry of the region, which moved to places like China and Vietnam. “Surely, why would the younger generation want to work there?”

Trump officials have spent much of the past week explaining and justifying the president’s ever-developing tariff policy.

They painted a photo of the blunt power measures that remain in their place without exception and bring back a high-tech manufacturing to the US

Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick has told Facing the nation The rates will turn back electronic factories from China and give work to American technicians and mechanics that would help these highly automatic assemblies.

“The army of millions and millions of people who screw small screws to make iPhones – the kind of thing is going to come to America, it’s going to be automatic,” he said.

US trade representative Jamieson Greer testified in the Senate this week that “the president was clear that he did not do exemptions or exceptions in the short term.”

By Friday, however, US officials announced that important electronics such as smartphones and semiconductors would be exempt from Trump’s rates.

New Jersey US Senate delegation is calling on Donald Trump to investigate the death of 14-year-old Amer Rabee, a teenager Israeli soldiers in New Jersey, who was shot in the West Bank last week.

“As New Jersey senators, we ask for a thorough and transparent accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the death of Amer Rabee and the actions of Israeli security forces,” Cory Booker and Andy Kim wrote in a letter to the president on Friday. “We appreciate the difficult and dynamic nature of the situation, but also underline our expectation that such an investigation is possible and should be chased when an American has died.”

Rabee’s family insists that he want to choose almonds with friends, while the Israeli army claims to be a ‘terrorist’ who threatens civilians.

Here are more details about what happened.

While Trump ordered the military to take control of land near the US and Mexico border, the details of how it will work have not yet been determined.

Officials are still working to determine how to execute the plan or how long troops can arrest migrants before transferring it to border agents, according to the New York Times.

Donald Trump entered into an art form to sell his failures as victories, and this week’s capitulation on rates was his Mona Lisa.

Trump has ordered the US military to take control of some federal countries. Most importantly, the army will take over the Roosevelt Reserve.

It is a piece of land running along the US border in California, Arizona and New Mexico.

It extends about 600 miles and is 60 feet wide.

The area was created in 1907 by Theodore Roosevelt to keep the stretch “free of obstruction as protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico.”

Businessman and Shark tank Kevin O’Leary panelist emerged as one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters in his trade war against China.

In an appearance on CNN tonight, he called on 400% tariffs at China to force President Xi Jinping to the negotiating table – and not just about trading.

He repeated the point and said it was a ‘game of chicken’ between the two countries, claiming that millions of workers could rise to XI if they lost their factory opportunities if the US stopped buying Chinese goods, without any market to replace it.

O’Leary further said that the US is not in a recession – no matter what others say.

Here is Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock who says we might be in one:

In response to the news that Donald Trump authorized the military to occupy and take jurisdiction on public land along the southern border, Rep. Greg Casar accuses the president of changing the dominant story of the week – that of the rates debacle.

In a presidential memorandum released on Friday night, Trump says it will be a ‘phased implementation’ that begins with a ‘limited federal countries’ selected by the Minister of Defense, Pete Hegseth, but it can be expanded at any time.

Casar, a Democrat of Texas, wrote on X: “Trump wants to shift the news of his tariff economic disaster, so he deploys the military in our own country and targets immigrants.”

He added: “Insane, an abuse of our army and faithful.”

When he left for Florida on Friday afternoon after a rainy Washington, DC, President Donald Trump climbed the stairs of Air Force One who held a very large umbrella.
