Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Doug Prisner. South Korea's Constitutional Court has dismissed the impeachment

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: motion against Prime Minister Han Duksu, and Han has now

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: been immediately restored to the acting presidency. You may recall

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: back in late December, Han was suspended from office when

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: he resisted pressure from the opposition party to immediately appoint

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: three judges to the Constitutional Court. Interestingly, this decision comes

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: right before the same court will decide on the impeachment

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: of President Yunsukyol. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney has called

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: an election for April twenty eighth, and polls are showing

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: a close contest between his Liberal party and the Conservatives.

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Carney's election campaign has been dominated by President Trump's tariffs

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: and the threat to make Canada a US state. Here

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: is Carney speaking earlier with reporters. We needed to act

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: to fix our economy.

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: We needed to act to fight the Americans.

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 3: We needed to act to deal with Donald Trump's tariffs.

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: That was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speaking there. He

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: will be facing off against Conservative leader Pierre Poliev. Both

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: have promised tax cuts, although they do have different versions

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: for Canada's economy and the relationship with the United States.

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Talks to end the war between Ukraine and Russia are underway.

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: US and Ukrainian officials met in Riot on Sunday and

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: on Monday, talks are expected between US and Russia. White

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: News Sunday.

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: The agenda is stop the killing, stop the carnage. Let's

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 4: end this thing. You can end things without communicating with

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: both sides, understanding what each of them need, and then

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: trying to bring them together.

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: As Steve Whitcoff, speaking earlier on Fox News Sunday, now,

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said that talks will

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: focus on a potential Black Sea maritime ceasefire. It's unclear

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: how far discussion will advance and whether more meetings will

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: be scheduled or what concessions Russia is prepared to offer.

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is firing back at his critics.

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: We get the latest from Bloomberg Stan Schwartzmann.

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: Schumer said he would not step down as minority leader,

39
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: despite calls from some Senate Democrats that he do so

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: after ending a blockade against the Republican spending plan to

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: keep the government from shutting down. On NBC's Meet the Press,

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: Schumer said he did so because a shutdown would have

43
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: handed President Trump an opportunity to quote eviscerate the government.

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: The minority leader also said he believed the American people

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: would rise up against Trump if he defied courts that

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 3: challenged his policies. Dan Schwartzman Bloomberg Radio.

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Wall Straight is looking ahead to key economic releases on

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: inflation and global manufacturing, along with a smattering of earnings.

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: We have more from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,080

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 6: One of the things I'm worried about and slash watching

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: as we go into this next earning season is not

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 6: just whether or not companies take down their guidance, but

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 6: whether or not they pull guidance altogether.

59
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: Congress is back, and one of the items on the

60
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: agenda this week the next steps for abolishing the Department

61
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: of Education. Here's Bloomberg's Amy Morris from Washington.

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Republicans have long pushed for a Holy State led approach

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: to education, but passing a lot of clothes the agency

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: would require many swing district GOP lawmakers in the House

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: to take a politically risky position. Sixty House Republicans voted

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: last year against an amendment that would have terminated major

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: functions of the department. Even if Speaker Mike Johnson does

68
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: pull out a GOP only vote to shutter the department,

69
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: the Senate could still be a roadblock. Even as lawsuits

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: are pending from teachers and parents and state officials. The

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: administration has already laid off nearly half the workforce through

72
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: executive action. In Washington, Amymorris Bloomberg Radio.

73
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: A US Republican senator says that Beijing needs to take

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: action on stopping the flow of fentanyl precursors to the

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: US before talks can happen on trade. Senator Steve Danes

76
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: of Montana met recently with leaders in China, including Premier

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: Lee Chung Danes told Bloomberg, China understands the US is

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: requesting not to just slow but to stop the flow

79
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: of fentanyl precursors to the US. Here is Danes speaking

80
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: exclusively to Bloomberg.

81
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 7: That it'll be difficult to have any conversation about tariffs and

82
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 7: non tariff barriers until the FEMO precursor issue is resolved.

83
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 7: President trump position was heard loud and clear, and the

84
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 7: Chinese received that. They understood it, and we're hopeful that

85
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 7: we'll see decisive actions taken to stop the flow these precursors.

86
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: That was Montana GOP Senator Steve Daines speaking earlier to Bloomberg. Now,

87
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: the next step will be conversations between the two administrations

88
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: and a potential meeting between Chinese President Chi and President

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: Trump before the end of the year. And that is

90
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm
