China Slaps Further Tariffs on US; Deadly NYC Helicopter Crash
On today's podcast:
1) China will raise tariffs on all US goods from 84% to 125% starting April 12 and will ignore any further US tariff increases. It comes as President Trump’s dramatic U-turn on tariff threats has isolated China as the primary target of his trade offensive, significantly narrowing Beijing’s options for immediate de-escalation. Areas of US-China trade that could be next in line for Chinese retaliation include education, travel, financial services, computing services, and films and entertainment.
2) Billionaire Ray Dalio tells Bloomberg the tariff turmoil has damaged the US reputation for reliability, but that's not one of his primary concerns about the US economy and outlook for a recession. While the Bridgewater founder considers a US recession likely, geopolitical tensions and potential for diplomatic breakdowns are a global threat in Dalio's eyes.
3) New York City officials investigate a deadly helicopter crash in the Hudson River. The sightseeing helicopter crashed into the Hudson River, killing all six people on board, including three children from Spain and the pilot. The crash is the latest in a string of incidents that has rattled confidence in US aviation safety, following a deadly midair collision last year and other helicopter crashes around New York City.

Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.239 Good morning, I'm Lisa Matteo and I'm Karen Moscow. Here 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.000 are the stories we're following today. Karen, we begin with 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.120 an escalation in the trade war. Just a few hours ago, 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.720 China announced it was once again increasing tariffs on US goods. 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:24.680 Let's go to Hong Kong get the very latest with 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:25.919 Bloomberg's Jill Desis. 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.200 Jill, Good morning, Lisa and Karen. Yes, So, the latest 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.760 we have from China is that they will raise tariffs 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.519 and all US goods from eighty four percent to one 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:38.440 hundred and twenty five percent. That's starting April twelfth, and 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.080 then they say that they ultimately plan to ignore any 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.880 further increases announced by Washington. The Chinese officials actually called 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.720 the latest the Trump's administration, the latest moves a joke. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.120 They said that have given that American goods are no 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.400 longer marketable in China under the curve teriff rates. If 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.960 the US further raises tariffs on Chinese exports, they are 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.000 just going to disregard those measures. Seem that, at least 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.840 in response to that move from Donald Trump overnight to 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.559 clarify actually that the terriff rights on Chinese goods flowing 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.960 into the United States were actually one hundred and forty 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.360 five percent if you were to take into account earlier measures. 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.240 They raise these rates this time around and then say 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.640 they are done at this point. You know, we saw 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.600 and five hundred futures fall further after this announcement. We 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.800 saw futures on the Hansang China Enterprises INEX in Hong 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.720 Kong pair gains that actually closed a little bit up 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.040 earlier today, just on bets that China would introduce more 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.080 stimulus to sort of help its economy. There's some speculation 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.720 that that may be coming down the pike at some point. 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.960 But ultimately, what we're really seeing here is this escalation 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.479 and tensions between Beijing and Washington. Neither side has really 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.800 blinked at this point. We'll have to see what ultimately 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.920 happens in Washington in response to this, but at least 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.880 from China's perspective, they're pretty much done here in Hong Kong. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.520 This is Jill deesis Bloomberg Radio. 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.240 All right, Jill, thank you about the latest news on China. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.400 Increasing tariffs comes after President Trump expressed optimism a deal 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.920 with Beijing. Will be reached. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.840 We're resetting the table, and I'm sure that we'll be 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.240 able to get along very well. I have great respect 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.600 for President She's been in a true sense, he's been 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.519 a friend of mine for a long period of time, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.280 and I think that we'll end up working on something 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.679 that's very good for both countries. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.680 The White House confirms China now faces a one hundred 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.760 and forty five percent levy on all goods it sends 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.760 to the US well. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.000 Karen Bloomberg News has learned top European officials are planning 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.960 to visit China later this year to discuss trade with 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.600 President Jijin Ping. A source to say European Commissioned President 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.640 Ursula Vonderline and European Council President Antonio Costa have agreed 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.680 to the summit in Beijing. The possible meeting. It comes 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.480 as Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited Beijing today, saying 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.160 he sees China as a partner of the EU. 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.880 Lisa Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio says the tariff turmoil 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.399 has damaged the US reputation for really liability. Dollehoe spoke 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.320 with the Bloomberg's Francine lackwall. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:04.880 I'm not the politician. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:06.320 I'm not the negotiator. 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.040 I'm not the person to say whether that style of 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.000 handling it was better or worse. I would say that 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:22.400 it dramatically affected psychology and attitude about the United States' reliability. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.200 And Dolio said that while he is pleased about Trump's 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.840 decision to pivot, he cautioned that the volatility will have 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.119 lasting effects. Here the full conversation on the latest edition 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.240 of the Bloomberg in the City podcast. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.120 And futures are lower this morning as a turbulent week 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.080 to the markets comes to a close. Yesterday, stocks gate 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.920 back a chunk of Wednesday's massive rally. The S and 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.960 P five hundred fell three and a half percent. 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.480 Well, there's another worry for Wall Street this morning, Lisa, 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.520 as the safe haven status of US treasuries and the 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.240 dollar have come into question. We get the latest of 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.000 Bloomberg's John Tucker, John, Good morning, Good. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.040 Morning, Karen. Normally, in periods of stress, money flows into 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.480 the perceived safety of US treasuries. They rallied during the 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.560 global financial crisis nine to eleven and even when America's 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.600 own credit rating was cut. But now as President Trump 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.800 unleashes an all out of salt on global trade. Their 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.440 status is the world safe haven is increasingly coming into question, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.200 Henry Allen at Deutsche Bank, Whereas this could be the 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:20.839 start of a regime change. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.760 It's really striking that today we have seen US treasury 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.600 sell off quite severely in response to what's going on. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.920 So I think that does speaks that broad a confidence crisis. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.200 As US debts sold off, yields, especially on the longer 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.920 term debt, have surged in recent days. The dollar has 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.960 also plunged, and a disconcerting pattern has emerged investors dumping 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.880 treasuries at the same time they sold stocks and other 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.920 risky assets. As former Treasury Secretary Larry Summer says, they're 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.400 trading like the debt of an emerging market country, you know, Yorkome. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:52.720 John Tucker, Bloomberg. 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.000 Radio, All right, thanks John. It also remains to be 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.160 seen what impact the tariff turmoil we'll have on corporate earnings. 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.800 This morning, big banks begin to rep Let's get a 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.960 preview with Bloomberg's Shanali Bosick with JP Morgan. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.320 Kicking off big bank earnings in the middle of an 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.120 escalating tariff war, investors will be watching out for how 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.480 much money the big banks are making at their trading 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.720 desks in the middle of historic volatility. Investors will also 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.600 be keeping an eye on how much these banks are 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.640 able to lend as consumers are becoming more wary about 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.880 potential inflation on the heels of tariffs. I'm Shanali Basic 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.560 in New York for Bloomberg Radio. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.560 All right, Chanale, thank you well. In other news this morning, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.960 a New York City sight seeing helicopter broke apart in 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.479 midair and crashed into the Hudson River, killing the pilot 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.559 and a family of five Spanish tourists. New York Police 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.320 Commissioner Jessica Tish explained it was only in the air 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.320 for fifteen minutes when it reached the George Washington Bridge 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.280 before turning south, then crashing shortly thereafter. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.680 The aircraft lost control and hit the water just a 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.640 few feet off the coast of peer A. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.120 Park in Hoboke, and. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.000 The victims included Siemens executive August den Esco Barr. New 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.279 York City Mayor Eric Adams we. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:11.960 Loss of five family members and a pilot to an 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:17.799 incident was still investigating their many unknowns here, but without federal, state, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.120 and city partners. We'll find out exactly what happened. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.360 The helicopter, identified by the FAA as a Bell two 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.120 six helicopter, was on its sixth flight of the day. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.760 It was found upside down in the fifty degree water 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.040 when rescuers arrived at the scene, which was closer to 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.200 the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. The NTSB 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.640 and the FAA are investigating well. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.480 Looking at the nation's capital, the House narrowly passed a 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.880 framework for a budget proposal that President Trump supported, but 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.720 it's not a done deal. Bloomberg's Amy Morris is in 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.360 Washington with what comes next. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.920 House Speaker Mike Johnson celebrated the passage of the blueprint legislation. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.000 Big components of the One Big, Beautiful Bill is to 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.840 ensure that we don't have the largest tax increase in 0:06:59.000 --> 0:06:59.960 US history all at once. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.440 Johnson says this paves the way for Republicans to cut 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.359 one and a half trillion dollars from the budget. House 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.000 Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrey says that can't happen unless you 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:10.800 cut medicaid. 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:16.360 Republicans can run from their proposal, which is the largest 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.240 Medicaid cut in American history, but we will never allow 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.400 them to hide. 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.520 Johnson has set a target of the end of May 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.760 to enact the bill. Senate Republicans talked about getting it 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:33.680 done by august in Washington. Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio, It's time. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.400 Now for a look at some of their stories making 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.160 news in New York and around the world, and for 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.840 that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael, Good Morning, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:40.800 Good Morning, Karen. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.720 The Supreme Court says the Trump administration must work to 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.000 bring back a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.800 El Salvador. Kilar Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran citizen who 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.640 had an immigration court order preventing his deportation to his 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.600 native country over fears he would face persecution from local games. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.120 The administration has conceded that it made a mistake in 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.880 sending him to El Salvador, where he is being held 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.280 in a notorious prison, but also argued that it no 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.000 longer could do anything about it. Former federal prosecutor and 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.480 Loyola Law School professor Lori Levinson. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.480 This has been the first big pushback on the administration 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.320 by the Supreme Court, and it took the administration basically 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.080 taking a hard line that they didn't have to do 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.720 anything to bring back somebody, even though they wrongfully sent 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.360 them to a foreign country. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.680 Loyola Law School professor Lori Levinson, a Russian American woman 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.360 freed by Moscow, has arrived back in the US as 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.160 part of a prisoner swap. A plane carrying Cassenna Carolina 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.480 landed late last night at Joint Bass Andrews, where she 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.839 was greeted by her fiancee. She was released earlier in 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.840 the day in exchange for a Russian German Man who 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.320 had been jailed in the US on smuggling charges. Carolina 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.800 was arrested last year, convicted of treason on charges stemming 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.959 from a donation of just fifty two dollars to a 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.520 charity aiding Ukraine.

In fact, no one has had 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.360 the first round we need more often. This is the 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.599 fifth time, one more than Jack Nicholas, who won the 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.760 Masters six times. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.040 Rose has never won the green jacket. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.480 Will this be the year for the forty four year 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.000 old from England who's plenty the Masters for the twentieth time. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.000 He had a brilliant opening round a seven under sixty five. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.880 He needed only twenty two plucks. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.560 It was a really good day's golf on a golf 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.360 course that was a stern test. I think if you 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.920 look at the overall leaderboard, not many low scores out there, 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.360 so you had to take got a quality shots and 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:29.960 the light over the way played. 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.000 Three golfers trail by three, led the oberg the Canadian 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.840 Cory Connors and the defendee champion Scottie Sheffler. Rory McElroy 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.800 was four under with four roles to play, then had 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.559 two double bogies. The next in Detroit, gave three of 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.760 their top players the night off, lost one to fifteen 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.319 to one oh six Cade Cunningham thirty six points for 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.719 the Pistons, who've gone from fourteen wins last season to 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.280 forty four this year, and as the now they'd played 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.040 the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs. Although 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.880 the Knicks lead over Indiana for third in the East 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.160 is down to one game, the Rangers took out some 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.160 frustration for their disappointing season, lasting the Islanders at Ubs 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.800 Arena nine to two. Rangers scored four goals in the 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.720 first period, four more than the third. Red Sox salvaged 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.480 the game with the Blue Jays at Fenway four to three, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.040 and Tenames the Yankees back home Tonight's Bay the Giant 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.160 Semester and Sacramento taking on the Aids. The Jets brought 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.800 in Allen Lazar because of his history catching passages from 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.000 Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.280 Rogers has gone. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.480 Lazards stayed, but his salary was cut from eleven million 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.240 to two minds. John Stanshy, I were Bloomberg Sports. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:34.880 Kenny Coast to Coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.120 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.640 Bloomberg Business Ad. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.840 Hey, it's about thirteen on Wall Street. Well, some more 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.280 volatility thrust into the market. Yesterday President Trump's tariffs on 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:53.360 China actually higher than previously announced, and now China retaliating again. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.120 You're here to break it down for us. As Bloomberg 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.680 Senior editor Bill Farries. Bill, it's hard to keep up 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.440 with his news flow constantly changing. So now the White 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.760 House says the total tariffs and post on China now 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.000 add up to one hundred and forty five percent. And 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.240 now we're learning China is going to raise tariffs on 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.480 all US codes from eighty four percent to one hundred 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.760 and twenty five percent. I mean, how long is this 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:15.800 back and forth going to go on? 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.000 You know, yes, what we've been talking about all day. 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.640 Thanks for having me. There's a real question at what 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.120 point do these tariffs kind of start becoming meaningless numbers. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.760 I mean, we know an analysis by Bloomberg Economics showed 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.200 that once you get over one hundred percent tariffs, at 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.640 least in the medium term, you basically bring an end 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.960 to bilateral trade. It's basically a complete decoupling. But even 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.160 in the short term, you know, the big question is 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.360 when do you start seeing the impacts from this, And 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.840 we're seeing it now with some companies already cutting back 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.120 on purchase orders from China. US companies cutting back on 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.439 purchase orders and a lot of uncertainty, CEOs tossing out 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.559 full your guidance, and no one really knows where this 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.600 is except that it's headed to a place we haven't 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.920 been before. But China's saying they're raising US tariffs on 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.000 the US goods till one hundred and twenty five percent, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.200 and they added to that that they are not going 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.559 to go any further. They said they won't respond to 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.120 additional US moves because they said what the Trump administration 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.080 is doing now has quote become a joke. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.559 Yeah, And they said they are going to ignore it. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.040 I mean, can they do that? Can you just ignore it? 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.199 I think, you know, at some level it becomes it's 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.440 not clear that it really makes a difference. Right Once, 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.840 once you have one hundred and thirty percent or one 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.440 hundred and forty percent tariffs on something, doesn't really matter 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.040 if you go to one hundred and sixty percent. Maybe 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.640 for some companies it does, but for the vast majority 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.400 of products, if you're talking about more than a doubling 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.480 of their costs, you're probably starting to wipe out that 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:46.400 market for them. 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.360 Okay, Now you talked about briefly some of the corporation's 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.240 businesses how it's affecting them. Dig more into the global 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.199 impact of all of this back and forth. 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.800 Well, it's you know, it's it's obviously the biggest trading 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.960 relationship in the world, the US China trade relationship seven 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.160 hundred billion dollars in annual trade back in normal times. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.640 But it's really it's bigger than that, because we're talking 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:17.719 about American companies that have supply chains that maybe go 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.760 from China into Vietnam, into another country, maybe even into 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.120 Europe than over to the US. We've already seen as 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.360 of several days ago, eleven hundred requests from American companies 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.600 seeking exemptions from some of these teriffs, because they're saying, 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.960 even if we want to produce more in the United States, 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.400 the goods we need to make that production possible to 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.520 build up that capacity are getting tariffed, so we would 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.920 like to have some of these exemptions. But you're also 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.280 seeing Europe now, European leaders planning to go to China. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.840 You have the Spanish Prime Minister saying that the EU 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.920 may need to shift more of its attention to better 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.960 relations with China. So China is potentially going to become 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.560 a big beneficiary of all this. They have things they 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.920 can do to at least cushion the shock from the 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.080 US measures, but they certainly can't overcome. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:12.080 All of it. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.000 So we're really in a place uncharted waters we've never 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:16.560 been before. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.760 This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.280 stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.080 Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.200 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.280 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.960 am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.920 in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.920 Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.680 XM Channel one twenty one. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:45.360 Plus. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.160 Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business App now 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.000 with Applecarplay and Android auto interfaces. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.480 And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
