Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with the latest developments on global trade.
Speaker 3: President Trump is threatening a thirty five percent tariff on
Speaker 3: some Canadian goods. That's an increase from the current twenty
Speaker 3: five percent rate and would take effect August first. But
Speaker 3: as Bloomberg's Bill Ferries reports, the increase would not affect
Speaker 3: goods that are shipped under the terms of the current
Speaker 3: US Mexico Canada agreement.
Speaker 4: That might be a little misleading as a headline number.
Speaker 4: I mean, our understanding of this is that it would
Speaker 4: not apply to products or goods and services that are
Speaker 4: already covered under this US MCA trade agreement with Mexico,
Speaker 4: Canada and the US. So that's the majority of goods
Speaker 4: traded between the US and Canada right there. So things
Speaker 4: like energy as well are subject to a lower ten
Speaker 4: percent tariff. In terms of thirty five percent, I think
Speaker 4: we're going to need a lot more details from the
Speaker 4: White House before that goes into place about which products,
Speaker 4: But it doesn't look like that kind of broad swath
Speaker 4: of tariffs across everything that comes south from Canada.
Speaker 5: And Bloomberg spil Ferries reports.
Speaker 3: President Trump's announcement on Canada came as he told NBC
Speaker 3: News he's also eyeing blanket tariffs of fifteen to twenty
Speaker 3: percent on most trading partners well Nathan.
Speaker 2: Vietnam is seeking to lower its tariff rate by the US.
Speaker 2: Sources say the country's leadership was caught off guard by
Speaker 2: President Trump's announcement last week of a twenty percent tariff.
Speaker 2: Vietnam is pushing for a tariff in the ten to
Speaker 2: fifteen percent range.
Speaker 3: And Karen Brazilian President Luis and Assio Lula de Silva
Speaker 3: says his country can survive without trade with the US
Speaker 3: and we'll look to other partners to replace America. In
Speaker 3: a broadcast interview, Lula said Brazil's trade with the US
Speaker 3: represents one point seven percent of its GDP and quoting here,
Speaker 3: it's not like we can't survive without the US. Earlier
Speaker 3: this week, President Trump threatened fifty percent tariffs against Brazilian imports.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Nathan tariffs on China remain in the spotlight. This morning,
Speaker 2: Secretary of State Margo Rubio met his Chinese Counterpartwang Yi
Speaker 2: and Malaysia. It's the first in person session between the
Speaker 2: CHIU and a possible prelude to a presidential summit. The
Speaker 2: US and China agreed in May to temporarily slash their
Speaker 2: high tariffs imposed on each other.
Speaker 3: Now, when it comes to the impact tariffs will have
Speaker 3: on inflation, Karen Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Louis President
Speaker 3: Albertomusalem says it's too soon to tell.
Speaker 5: He spoke at an event in Saint Louis yesterday.
Speaker 6: The outlook for inflation that I have, in accordance with
Speaker 6: what many private forecasters have, is for inflation to increase
Speaker 6: going forward, mostly owing to tariffs, which may settle somewhere
Speaker 6: between the low teens or the low twenties, depending entree Poulsy.
Speaker 3: Saint Louis FED President Alberto Mussalm says the tariff impact
Speaker 3: on inflation has been mild so far, but he expects
Speaker 3: it to show up more in data starting in June, July, August,
Speaker 3: or September.
Speaker 2: Nathan President Trump says he plans to make a major
Speaker 2: statement on Russia on Monday. In an interview with NBC News,
Speaker 2: the President repeated as criticisms of Russian President Vladimir Putin
Speaker 2: over his continued attacks in Ukraine. He says he expects
Speaker 2: to send it to pass a tougher sanctions bill sponsored
Speaker 2: by Republican Lindsey Grahm, though his option on whether to
Speaker 2: use it. It's his option, though, on whether to use it,
Speaker 2: and he says he's reached an agreement with NATO for
Speaker 2: allies to buy US weapons that would then be sent
Speaker 2: to Ukraine.
Speaker 3: To the latest Karen on the flood disaster in Texas,
Speaker 3: President Trump plans to visit Hill Country today, where at
Speaker 3: least one hundred and twenty people were killed in last
Speaker 3: weekend's flash floods and more than one hundred and seventy
Speaker 3: are still missing. Fredericksburg, Texas Fire Marshall Reagan Rapki says
Speaker 3: more than two thousand local, state, and federal workers are
Speaker 3: still searching for victims in Kerr County.
Speaker 7: And we have heavy e quest working and we're having
Speaker 7: to dig through it by hand as well, just because
Speaker 7: the machines can go through it.
Speaker 8: We have to be very methodical about what we're doing.
Speaker 3: It's Fredericksburg Fire Marshall Reagan Rabkey. President Trump's expected to
Speaker 3: get an aerial tour of some of the hard hit
Speaker 3: areas and meet with first responders and relatives of flood victims.
Speaker 3: Texas's two Republican senators are expected to join the President
Speaker 3: to board Air Force One.
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the markets now, Nathan, where futures are
Speaker 2: lower as we close out the trading week. Yesterday, the
Speaker 2: S and P five hundred closed at a record as
Speaker 2: at nears the sixty three hundred level. Veronica Willis is
Speaker 2: global investment strategist at Wills Fargo Bank.
Speaker 9: The market's seen a really impressive rally from those lows
Speaker 9: earlier this year, maybe has gotten a little bit ahead
Speaker 9: of itself. There's still some uncertainties related to trade. We've got,
Speaker 9: you know, earning season coming up, which could start to
Speaker 9: see some of those impacts around that uncertainty around prices
Speaker 9: and uncertainty around tariffs.
Speaker 2: Wells Fargo Banks Veronica Willis. The S and P five
Speaker 2: hundred is up almost seven percent so far this year.
Speaker 3: Now, while stocks have been reaching new heights, Karen So
Speaker 3: has Bitcoin. It's trading at another all time high this
Speaker 3: morning at about one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars per token.
Speaker 3: Analysts say the rally's triggered a major unwinding of short positions,
Speaker 3: with more than a billion dollars worth of bets against
Speaker 3: bitcoin being liquidated. Investors have also poured a net one
Speaker 3: point two billion dollars into bitcoin ETFs Nathan.
Speaker 2: In Europe, the UK economy shrank for eight second straight
Speaker 2: month as companies and consumers struggle to bounce back from
Speaker 2: the blow dealt by US tariffs and a raft of
Speaker 2: tax increases grows. Domestic product declined one ten percent in May,
Speaker 2: after contracting three tenths percent the previous month.
Speaker 3: And staying in Europe Karen. Shares of BP are up
Speaker 3: two and a half percent. The oil giant says it
Speaker 3: expects to report rising production and a strong result from
Speaker 3: its oil trading business for the second quarter.
Speaker 2: Time. Now for look at some of the other stories
Speaker 2: making news in New York and around the world, and
Speaker 2: for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael Goodmore.
Speaker 10: Good Morning, Karen. A federal judge in New Hampshire has
Speaker 10: blocked President Trump to move forward with his ban on
Speaker 10: birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court determined federal judges could not
Speaker 10: issue sweeping nationwide injunctions against many of President Trump's policies,
Speaker 10: but the plaintiffs worked around that ruling by filing a
Speaker 10: class action lawsuit on behalf of all children born in
Speaker 10: the US after February twentieth. Cody Wafsei is the deputy
Speaker 10: director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project and the lead
Speaker 10: attorney on the class action lawsuit.
Speaker 7: So, no matter how much the Trump administration may dislike it,
Speaker 7: they cannot break it, they cannot ignore it. It is
Speaker 7: the right of every child born in this country.
Speaker 10: Palestinian activist Mackmoud Khalil's role in Columbia campus protests against
Speaker 10: Israel led to his detention for over three months in
Speaker 10: immigration jail. Now he's seeking twenty million dollars in damages
Speaker 10: from the Trump administration. His lawyers filed to claim a lledging,
Speaker 10: false imprisonment, and malicious prosecution after his March arrest by
Speaker 10: federal agents. Khalil, a legal US resident, said he suffered
Speaker 10: severe anguish in jail. The government has accused Khalil of
Speaker 10: leading protests aligned with a moss but has not provided
Speaker 10: any evidence of a link. New York City Mayor Eric
Speaker 10: Adams campaign says he has raised more than a million
Speaker 10: dollars for his re election effort in a single night
Speaker 10: at a fundraiser in Manhattan. According to a person familiar
Speaker 10: with the matter, Wednesday's fundraiser was attended by several hundred
Speaker 10: people and more than eight hundred donated. Adams said the
Speaker 10: passion against Zoron Memdani will ultimately propel him to win
Speaker 10: a second term. Heard on Bloomberg yesterday, Adams once again
Speaker 10: said that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is
Speaker 10: also running as an independent, should drop out of the race.
Speaker 8: We both interacted, and I said you should step aside
Speaker 8: for the good of this city.
Speaker 5: We both agreed the city.
Speaker 8: Were moving the wrong to deal direction under the primary winner,
Speaker 8: and I think he should do the right thing.

Speaker 1: Nathan Coast to Coast on Bloomberg Radio nationwide on Serious
Speaker 1: Exam and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 5: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 3: On a morning of trade threats rippling through the market
Speaker 3: once again, President Trump says he could slap thirty five
Speaker 3: percent tariffs on some Canadian goods, fifteen to twenty for
Speaker 3: everyone else. And now Vietnam is saying it was caught
Speaker 3: off guard with the twenty percent announcement that President Trump
Speaker 3: made last week and is still working to get that
Speaker 3: teriff right down. Here to work us through all the
Speaker 3: latest trade headlines this morning, Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries, Bill,
Speaker 3: where to start? I guess with the Canada announcement on
Speaker 3: social media last night, how to take thirty five percent
Speaker 3: tariff given that we are under a USMCA agreement still
Speaker 3: good morning.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Nathan. Yeah, the thirty five percent number from
Speaker 4: President Trump, that's a big headline number, but we still
Speaker 4: aren't sure what the reality.
Speaker 5: Of that means.
Speaker 4: I mean, it does seem like from our reporting that
Speaker 4: a lot of the products or the products that are
Speaker 4: covered under that US MCA trade agreement are not going
Speaker 4: to face that thirty five percent tariff. And frankly, that's
Speaker 4: the that's the majority of goods that Canada is exporting
Speaker 4: to the US. There's also just the big ticket items
Speaker 4: like energy, for instance, is facing a ten percent tariff
Speaker 4: that's likely to not change under this regime. So there's
Speaker 4: a big question about exactly how many products will really
Speaker 4: face that thirty five percent, but it is you know,
Speaker 4: it's not good news for Canada at all, and it's
Speaker 4: not good news for all these other countries out there
Speaker 4: that are still waiting to get letters or still you know,
Speaker 4: hurriedly trying to negotiate deals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to wonder now what those negotiations are
Speaker 3: going to look like when we've heard the report from
Speaker 3: NBC News that the president's thinking about a fifteen to
Speaker 3: twenty percent blanket tariff anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 4: And fifteen to twenty percent, you know, in comparison to
Speaker 4: some of the numbers we saw on April second Liberation Day,
Speaker 4: that might seem like relatively low numbers, but when you
Speaker 4: keep in mind that, you know, the average US tariff
Speaker 4: for years up till January was about two percent. You know,
Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty percent is a significant increase and would
Speaker 4: have a big impact on trading partners and the US economy.
Speaker 4: So it remains to be seen if that's really what's
Speaker 4: going to happen. But we have seen the President rolling
Speaker 4: out these sometimes more than a dozen at a time,
Speaker 4: these letters just going out naming a tariff rate. Now
Speaker 4: they have till August first to perhaps try to work
Speaker 4: that down, but that's a lot of work that would
Speaker 4: have to get done in just less than three weeks.
Speaker 3: And along with the letters, we've seen the rollout so
Speaker 3: far of just two framework agreements with the UK and Vietnam,
Speaker 3: and now it seems like there are questions about whether
Speaker 3: the Vietnam framework was really agreed to by both sides
Speaker 3: the way they thought it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is an exclusive from Bloomberg, but you know,
Speaker 4: people who are familiar with how the negotiations were going
Speaker 4: say Vietnamese officials were surprised by Trump's public announcement about
Speaker 4: the deal and the twenty percent tariff. They had been
Speaker 4: looking for something lower than that. And it was interesting
Speaker 4: to note after Trump came out and said twenty percent
Speaker 4: for Vietnam, the Vietnamese government really never confirmed that agreement
Speaker 4: at all, and they basically deflected a lot of the
Speaker 4: questions that got raised about it. So now it turns
Speaker 4: that maybe they thought they were getting something else, or
Speaker 4: we're still in talks for a better deal. So it'll
Speaker 4: be interesting to see how that plays out after August
Speaker 4: first as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: But what does this tell you about all the negotiations
Speaker 3: that have been going on, not just with Vietnam but
Speaker 3: with Canada as well. They've been working for literally months
Speaker 3: now to try to come to some kind of middle
Speaker 3: between the US and Canada, and now we've got this
Speaker 3: thirty five percent announcement.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, at one point we were promised ninety deals
Speaker 4: in ninety days, and we're so far off the mark
Speaker 4: when it comes to that at this point, as you mentioned,
Speaker 4: just two framework deals. It does seem that the President
Speaker 4: doesn't have a lot of patience for maybe the complexity
Speaker 4: of these trade agreements. Even Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen was
Speaker 4: actually asked at a forum this week what the how
Speaker 4: we would compare his two big bosses in his life,
Speaker 4: George Soros and Donald Trump, and he said, well, they're
Speaker 4: both very impatient when it comes to a high stakes deal.
Speaker 4: I think we're seeing how that plays out with the
Speaker 4: White House. Now.
