US Cuts Tariffs on UK Cars and Planesโ€”But Steel Industry Left Behind

Tariff reductions for UK automotive and aerospace sectors have taken effect following Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's completion of negotiations for relief from US import duties. UK car manufacturers exporting to America now face a reduced 10% tariff quota, down from the previous 27.5%, while aerospace companies will see a 10% levy eliminated completely. Sir Keir described the agreement as a "historic trade deal" with the US, secured after President Donald Trump implemented import taxes as part of his "liberation day" tariffs affecting countries globally. The Prime Minister and US President finalized the sectoral agreement during the G7 summit, though steel tariffs remain at 25% instead of being reduced to zero as initially negotiated. Discussions continue regarding securing 0% tariffs on core UK steel products destined for US markets. Trump's executive order indicates the US seeks guarantees regarding UK steel […]

US Launches Air Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Facilities Amid International Calls for Restraint

The United States conducted military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting varied international responses and raising concerns about regional escalation. President Donald Trump authorized the strikes using B-2 stealth bombers and submarine-launched missiles, targeting facilities at Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz linked to Iran's nuclear program. Trump stated the action had "completely and fully obliterated" key nuclear installations. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged Iran's nuclear program as a "grave threat to international security" while calling for diplomatic solutions. The UK government was informed of the strikes in advance but did not participate in the military action. Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy had previously attempted to persuade the Trump administration to pursue de-escalation and diplomatic processes rather than military action alongside Israel. "Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, and the US has taken action to […]

Trump Calls Iran’s Leader ‘Easy Target’ After Shocking Early G7 Exit

President Donald Trump departed the G7 summit in Canada ahead of schedule, citing urgent matters requiring his attention as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate. His early departure came as world leaders worked to address the developing Middle East crisis. Following his departure, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform regarding Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating that the United States knows his location and describing him as an "easy target." However, Trump clarified that the US was "not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now," while expressing concerns about missiles being fired at civilians and American soldiers. The president also wrote "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" on the platform and claimed the US had "complete and total control of the skies over Iran."

Republican Leaders Call for End to Trump-Musk Dispute

Republican officials are expressing concern over the public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with party leaders urging both men to resolve their differences amid fears the conflict could impact legislative priorities. The dispute between the president and the world's richest man has raised questions about potential effects on Republican tax and border spending legislation, which Trump has promoted but Musk has criticized. Vice President JD Vance characterized Musk's actions as a "huge mistake" in going after Trump. In a Friday interview following the public confrontation, Vance described Musk as an "emotional guy" who became frustrated while expressing hope for reconciliation. "I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear," Vance stated. The vice president's remarks reflect broader Republican concerns about the rift between two figures who […]

SpaceX’s $3 Billion Starship Explodes Mid-Flight

SpaceX Starship Experiences In-Flight Breakup During Ninth Test Flight SpaceX conducted its ninth Starship demonstration flight on Tuesday evening from Starbase, the company's launch facility in southern Texas, where residents recently voted to incorporate as an official city. The 403-foot rocket successfully lifted off but did not achieve its primary mission objectives when the spacecraft lost control and broke apart during flight. Following two previous test flights that ended in explosions, SpaceX aimed to deploy mock satellites after liftoff. This objective was not completed due to a malfunction in the payload bay door that prevented it from fully opening. The spacecraft subsequently entered an uncontrolled spin while traveling toward a planned landing zone in the Indian Ocean. SpaceX confirmed the spacecraft experienced what the company terms "rapid unscheduled disassembly," meaning it broke apart in flight. "Teams will continue to review […]

Elon Musk Makes Surprise Capitol Hill Appearance

Elon Musk visited Capitol Hill on Wednesday afternoon, meeting with senators to discuss energy policy, artificial intelligence, and strategic competition with China. The Tesla CEO and head of the Department of Government Efficiency arrived at a meeting room on the Senate side of the Capitol complex in what appeared to be an unexpected visit for most lawmakers and staff members. Musk has reduced his involvement in official White House activities recently, following his role in significant changes to federal operations during the early months of the current administration. Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska confirmed that Musk participated in discussions covering artificial intelligence, energy matters, and broader strategic concerns. "It was a really good discussion," Sullivan stated. "He's got incredible insights on the broader strategic competition and stuff. That's what we were talking about." Sullivan indicated that the attendees were primarily […]

Explosion at California Fertility Clinic Linked to “Anti-Pro-Life” Extremist

A 25-year-old California man identified as the suspect in a devastating explosion at a Palm Springs fertility clinic left behind writings expressing "anti-pro-life" views before the attack, which authorities are investigating as terrorism. The FBI identified Guy Edward Bartkus of Twentynine Palms as the suspect who died in the Saturday blast that severely damaged the American Reproductive Centers clinic in Palm Springs, an upscale desert city east of Los Angeles. Investigators revealed that Bartkus attempted to livestream the explosion and left writings containing "nihilistic ideations" that suggested anti-natalist viewsโ€”a philosophy opposing human reproduction. U.S. Attorney Bilal "Bill" Essayli characterized the message as "anti-pro-life." "This was a targeted attack against the IVF facility," said Akil Davis, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office. "Make no mistake: we are treating this as an intentional act of terrorism." The explosion, which […]

Sterling Maintains Position Against Dollar and Euro as Manufacturing Activity Contracts

Britain's pound held steady against the dollar on Thursday, remaining close to a three-year high reached earlier in the week as investors moved away from the U.S. currency following President Donald Trump's tariff policies. A Thursday survey confirmed British manufacturing activity contracted for the seventh consecutive month in April, highlighting the impact of Trump's tariffs and Britain's employer tax increases on business activity. The pound traded at $1.3327, down less than 0.1% for the day. It reached its highest level since February 2022 on Monday, having gained 3.2% last month - its largest monthly increase against the dollar since November 2023. The U.S. currency has suffered significantly from Trump's trade policies, with inconsistent tariff decisions undermining confidence and reducing growth forecasts. "We expect the pound to remain firm against the U.S. dollar over the course of the year, though some […]
