WEBVTT - US & Canada Race Against Clock, Roberts Allows Ballroom Work, More

0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>made kellegi. US and Canadian negotiators haggled froddy over terms

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>of a trade deal that would cut tariffs and retaliatory

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>measures between the two major trading partners, with signs of

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 1>optimism that a pact would be finalized before a midnight

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>deadline in Washington. Under the terms being discussed, the US

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>would reduce tariffs on autos from Canada to fifteen percent

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and lower some steel and aluminum tariffs to twenty five percent,

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>subject to a quota for the medals. This according to

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>people familiar with the matter who asked not to be

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>identified discussing private deliberations. Potential exclusions and other measures also

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>could change the scope of any steel and aluminum levies.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>US Chief Justice John Roberts says President Trump can keep

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>building his new White House ballroom while the Supreme Court

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>considers a longer term order. Bloomberg legal analyst June Grosso

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>weighs in.

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>It takes five justices to issue a stay, so that

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 2>will be coming up, and I anticipate that the Chief

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Justice wouldn't have issued this if he didn't think that

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 2>let the ballroom go ahead. I mean, there have been

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>two times I can think of, in big cases where

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>they've stopped President Trump, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Really.

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>You can listen to June Grosso's full analysis on the

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg BusinessWeek Daily Podcast. The Trump administration argues the President

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>has total authority to renovate the White House and the

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>ballroom project must be complete because it is considered a

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>national security concern. The White House is threatening new sanctions

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>against other countries that trade with Iran. China is Iran's

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.559
<v Speaker 1>major buyer of oil, but former National Security advisor John

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Bolton does not see that as a cause for concern.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Bolton talked about it on Bloomberg's Balance of Power.

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Our blockade against Iranian exports or imports through the straight

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 4>or form moves is extremely effective. They could shift some

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 4>through the CASPI into Russia, but by and large, Iran's

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 4>root is through the strait of horror Moones, and if

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 4>we cut that off, it really doesn't matter what China

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 4>thinks about it. There's just no oil coming out from Iran.

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Former National Security advisor John Bolton. California Governor Gavin Newsom

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>says he'd prefer a settlement of the state Attorney General's

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit opposing Paramount Sky Dances one hundred and ten billion

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>dollar acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery, if it's a good deal.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Earlier this week you heard the Attorney General himself say

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 3>he'd prefer this settled in the boardroom, not the courtroom.

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 3>So I think there's some universal sentiment there if that's possible.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 3>The question is is that possible, and what's the best deal?

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 3>What's the lanning that has to be worked through, And

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 3>that's a process that's unfolding, I assure you in real time.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>As of last week, Paramount had won regulatory clearance from

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight jurisdictions around the world for the deal, leaving

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a group of states led by California Attorney General Rob

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Bonta as the final impediment to a closing. They argue

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the merger would hurt film and television distribution and result

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>in fewer jobs in the entertainment industry. TikTok and Chinese

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>parent by Dance agreed to pay four hundred billion dollars

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to resolve a Biden era lawsuit by the Justice Department

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>accusing the popular social media app of collecting data on

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Choulden and violation of an online privacy law. The settlement

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>comes several months after by Dance closed along the Way

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to deal to transfer parts of its US operations to

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>American investors to resolve national security concerns. Apple is cutting

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>jobs across teams responsible for the Serie Digital Assistant and

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the Vision Pro headset, part of an effort to focus

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on new devices and artificial intelligence. Apple is also laying

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>off employees and its Intelligence Systems Experience, a team within

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>its software engineering organization responsible for some of the AI

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>features on its devices. As part of the changes, the

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>company is largely shutting down a Vision Pro team focused

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>on gaming for the headset, and reducing the size of

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a unit responsible for producing the device's immersive video content.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says she will return

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to MAGA Incorporated, the President's super Political Action Committee when

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>she leaves her post later this month. Levit announced earlier

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this month that she would step down from her role

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>as Press secretary, one of a number of high profile

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>White House departures ahead of November's mid term elections. The

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon Friday fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes,

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.679
<v Speaker 1>as well as its publisher and a reporter. The editor

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>said this. He said he was dismissed for insubordination after

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>an interview he gave that objected to potential censorship by

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the US military. Eric Slaven, editor in chief of the

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 1>military newspaper that is partly funded by the Pentagon but

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>has a long legacy of editorial independence, told the Associated

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Press that he and the others had received notices of separation.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>The Friday number is on Wall Street. The Dow gained

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>five seventeen, NASDAK added one thirteen. The S and P

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>five hundred was up thirty three. The tenure Treasury yield

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is at four point seven three percent. The two year

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>is at four point two three percent. That's news when

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I made Keleggie.

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:02.960
