Trump Insists US Steel Must Remain American-Owned, Challenging $15B Nippon Deal

President Donald Trump reaffirmed his opposition to foreign ownership of U.S. Steel on Sunday, stating he doesn't believe a foreign company should control the iconic American manufacturer. This repeated stance further dampens prospects for Japan's Nippon Steel's $15 billion acquisition bid. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning to Washington from Florida, Trump maintained his position first expressed last Wednesday when he said he didn't want to see U.S. Steel "go to Japan"โ€”comments" that triggered a 7% drop in the company's share price. Following Trump's initial remarks, both companies stated they were working closely with the Trump administration to "secure a significant investment." Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba revealed that he and Trump had discussed the deal during their February meeting. "The difference between acquisition and investment must be carefully examined in light of the U.S. law, but […]

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating an arson attack that caused significant damage to Governor Josh Shapiro's official residence in Harrisburg. In a social media statement, Shapiro recounted that his family was awakened at 2 a.m. Sunday by state police banging on their door.

Woman Freed in US-Russia Prisoner Exchange After Jailing Over Small Ukraine Donation

A Russian-American citizen has been released in a prisoner swap between Moscow and Washington after spending more than a year in a Russian prison. Ksenia Karelina, an amateur ballerina and Los Angeles resident, was arrested in early 2024 while visiting family in Yekaterinburg. Russia's FSB security service accused her of fundraising for a Ukrainian organization that allegedly provided arms to the Ukrainian military. She pleaded guilty last August and received a 12-year prison sentence. According to Russian human rights activists, Karelina had made a single $51 (ยฃ39) donation to a Ukrainian charity on February 22, 2022โ€”the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The charity in question has denied raising money for weapons or ammunition, stating that its focus is humanitarian aid and disaster relief. The FSB reportedly discovered the transaction on Karelina's phone. In exchange for her release, […]

Investors Bet Big on European Resurgence: $11 Billion Flood into ETFs in ‘MEGA’ Trend

U.S. investors poured a record $10.6 billion into exchange-traded funds focused on European stocks in the first quarter, seven times the inflows recorded a year earlier, according to data from BlackRock. As U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and economic policies fuel uncertainty across markets, European equities have emerged as a bright spot. Tim Seymour, founder and chief investment officer of Seymour Asset Management, dubbed the burgeoning trend Make Europe Great Again, or MEGA. The resurgent interest in European ETFs reflects a sharp reversal in sentiment. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the funds had seen net outflows of $6.4 billion. "It's a really massive swing," said Kristy Akullian, head of iShares Investment Strategy at BlackRock. In three of the last five calendar years, investors steered money out of European ETFs that trade in U.S. markets and into domestic […]

Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Imported Vehicles and Auto Parts

President Donald Trump has announced a new 25% tariff on all vehicles and auto parts imported into the United States, a move that could significantly impact the automotive industry and consumer prices. The tariffs are expected to have wide-ranging consequences for automakers and consumers. Nearly half of all cars sold in the U.S. last year were imported, according to research firm GlobalData. The announcement immediately affected stock markets, with shares of major automotive companies experiencing notable declines. General Motors saw an 8% drop in after-market trading, while Ford and Stellantis experienced approximately 4.5% falls. International manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai also saw their shares drop between 3% and 4%. The economic impact could be substantial. Cox Automotive predicts the tariffs could add $3,000 to the cost of a U.S.-made vehicle and $6,000 to vehicles manufactured in Canada or Mexico. […]

Leaked Signal Chat Reveals Military Communication Controversy

A recent incident involving a Signal group chat has sparked significant debate about communication protocols among high-level government officials. The Atlantic magazine published transcripts of text messages detailing potential U.S. military strike plans in Yemen, which were inadvertently shared in a group chat that included the magazine's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. The messages, reportedly sent by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, included technical details about military aircraft and strike timing, specifically mentioning F-18 fighter jets and MQ-9 drones. While the texts did not specify exact targets, they provided insights into potential military operations against Houthi militias. Multiple administration officials, including President Trump, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, have characterized the messages as non-classified. They emphasized that the communication did not involve sensitive strategic information. The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the message thread and initiated a […]

US Business Activity Increases in March While Business Sentiment Declines

U.S. business activity improved in March, though increasing concerns about import tariffs and government spending reductions continued to negatively impact sentiment and outlook for the remainder of the year. According to Monday's S&P Global survey, a measure of input prices paid by businesses reached its highest level in nearly two years this month, with increases across both manufacturing and services sectors. The data also indicated companies were hesitant to expand their workforce. The activity improvement likely won't ease concerns that the economy faces a period of sluggish growth combined with high inflation. Consumer sentiment has also weakened as households worry about future conditions. Since returning to office, President Donald Trump has implemented numerous tariffs on imported goods, with some duties postponed until next month. The administration has also launched an aggressive initiative to reduce government spending, terminating thousands of federal […]
