Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: made Kleggi. President Trump's ten percent baseline tariffs on US

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: trading partners around the world came into effect on Saturday

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: as he plowed ahead with his strategy to encourage domestic

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: investment by companies eager to avoid import taxes. While the

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: baseline charge has kicked in, higher duties on some countries,

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: which replace rather than add to, the ten percent rate,

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: are due to start on April ninth. Countries are weighing

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: how to respond to Trump's latest levees, which raised US

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: tariffs to their highest level in more than a century

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: and battered the post World War II world trading system,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: as he has long decried as unfair. Elon Musk says

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: he hopes for a zero tariff system between the US

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: and Europe that would effectively create a free trade zone.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: We get more in this from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Musk says ideally Europe and the United States should move

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: zone between Europe and North America. He told Italy's deputy

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: Prime minister that's what he hopes occurs. The CEO of

Speaker 2: commented at a gathering of the right wing League Party

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: in Florence, where he also said he hoped for a

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: deeper partnership between the US and Europe and greater mobility

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: for those wishing to work in either region. Denise Pellgritty

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Radio.

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans took a major step toward enacting President Trump's

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 1: tax cut agenda and increasing the US debt ceiling, potentially

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: injecting a small degree of certainty into financial markets royaled

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: by the President's tariff policies. The Senate early Saturday morning

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: passed the budget resolution by a fifty one forty eight

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: March and after an overnight marathon of votes on amendments

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: An Israeli official says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Monday with President Trump in Washington to seek a better

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: tariff deal for Israel and to discuss the war in Gaza,

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: the situation in Syria, and the Iranian nuclear Netanyahu was

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, where he was warmly

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: welcomed by Prime Minister Victor Orbon in defiance of an

40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: arrest warrant issued against Natanyahu by the International Criminal Court

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: in November over Israel's conducting Gaza. The Israeli official, who

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: spoke on condition of anonymity, said Orban and Netanyaho jointly

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: phone Trump and on the call, the Israeli later raised

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: the seventeen percent tariff the US is due to impose

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: in some Israeli goods. Israel hope to escape tariffs by

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: announcing it in to all remaining tariffs some of the

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: US in advance, but that failed to work. Diane Swank,

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: chief economists at kpmgtails Bloomberg that they've adjusted their economic

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: forecast call.

50
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: We have. In fact, we have now moved to a

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: little bit worse in our worst case scenario, and that's

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: because the tariffs now are likely if they even with

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: some rollback and some negotiation, they could easily hit the

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: highest level since the early nineteen hundreds that with more retaliation,

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: would get us into a recession.

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,600

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: the US following the introduction of tariffs by Donald Trump's government.

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: The company is putting these exports on hold this month

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: as it looks at ways to address the new trading terms.

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: The US government introduced a twenty five percent tariff on

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: imported cars, which went into effect on Thursday. The Jaguar

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: land Rover move is the latest example of the global

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: fallout from the policy, with other automakers also rethinking their

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: business strategies. Elon Musk's DOGE government cost cutting effort maybe

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: giving big tech companies a way to get even bigger.

67

Speaker 4: Amazon and Google may be using IT to break Microsoft's

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: long running stranglehold on the government software business. DOGE has

70
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: identified software as a potential source of waste in the

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: federal government. Now, Bloomberg News has learned lobbyists for Amazon

72
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: and Google are working through trade groups it's like net

73
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: Choice to make the case to Congress and federal agencies

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Maryland Representative Jimmy Raskin spoke about attempts to prevent judges

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: from stopping President Trump's executive orders.

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,480
