Speaker 1: round of President Donald Trump's tariffs is poised to be
Speaker 1: more measured than previously suggest it. We get more from
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Markets reporter Valerie Titel.
Speaker 3: The thing that the market is picking up on is
Speaker 3: in the headlines both from Bloomberg and in the Wall
Speaker 3: Street Journal. They use this word targeted and narrow, and
Speaker 3: I think that's the positivity the market is reacting too.
Speaker 3: But honestly, you read the gut of both of those
Speaker 3: articles and it still sounds quite hawkish when it comes
Speaker 3: to what Trump can announce on April second. Yes, they
Speaker 3: say that it might be targeted to fifteen nations, but
Speaker 3: those top fifteen nations with the big trade deficits with
Speaker 3: the US make up most of the US's trade imbalances
Speaker 3: and most of the US's foreign trade.
Speaker 1: It's Bloomberg's Valarie Titel official say President Trump will announce
Speaker 1: widespread reciprocal tariffs on nations or blocks, but is set
Speaker 1: to exclude some, and as of now, the administration is

Speaker 5: Cases and litigation through the Alien Enemies Act, and we'll

Speaker 5: despite what he thinks, We're gonna keep targeting the worst
Speaker 5: of the worst, which we've been doing since day one

Speaker 1: a ceasefire.
Speaker 7: This started with President Trump talking to both leaders back
Speaker 7: to back. We then Secretary of State Rubio and I
Speaker 7: engage the Russians, engaged the Ukrainians at our level, and
Speaker 7: now we have technical teams actually with Ukrainians and Russians
Speaker 7: in the same facility conducting proximity talks.

Speaker 2: flow of fentanyl ingredients into the US before any trade negotiations.
Speaker 8: It'll be difficult to have any conversation about tariffs and
Speaker 8: non tariff barriers until the FEMO precursor.
Speaker 2: Issue is resolved. Republican Montana Senator Steve Danes, who met
Speaker 2: with Chinese officials over the weekend, made the comments in
Speaker 2: an interview with Bloomberg on Sunday.
Speaker 1: In Canada, Karen Prime Minister Mark Carney has called foreign
Speaker 1: election on April twenty eighth. Polls show a close contest
Speaker 1: between Carney's Liberal party and the Conservatives, as Canada faces
Speaker 1: a trade war and taunts about its sovereignty from President Trump.
Speaker 9: President Trump claims the Canada isn't a real country. He
Speaker 9: wants to break us, so America can own us. We
Speaker 9: will not let that happen. We're over the shock of
Speaker 9: the betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons.
Speaker 1: It's been only ten days since Mark Karney became Canada's
Speaker 1: Prime minister. The sixty year old took over the governing
Speaker 1: Liberals after winning the race to succeed Justin Trudeau.

Speaker 4: And around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Speaker 4: Bloomberg Business app.
Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 6: Good morning.
Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager. Liberation Day. It is a phrase we
Speaker 1: have heard a lot from President Donald Trump when it
Speaker 1: comes to his promise of reciprocal tariffs across the board.
Speaker 6: April second is liberation Day for our country because we're
Speaker 6: going to finally be taking in money.
Speaker 11: We're already doing it.
Speaker 1: And that was the President speaking just a week ago.
Speaker 1: But this morning Bloomberg News has learned the across the
Speaker 1: board tariffs that Trump's talked about maybe more targeted than
Speaker 1: previously thought and for more. We're joined now by Bloomberg
Speaker 1: News Senior editor Derek Wallbank. Derek, good morning. What have
Speaker 1: we heard when it comes to the President's tariff plans
Speaker 1: at this point, Well, Nathan, you and I.
Speaker 8: Have talked at some length in prior conversations on how
Speaker 8: there kind of is an arbitrage moment between Donald Trump's
Speaker 8: maximalist threats and what actually gets done now. We have
Speaker 8: talked also about that a maximalist reading of what Trump
Speaker 8: has talked about with reciprocal tariffs would be an absolute
Speaker 8: administrative chore right to go through on thousands of product
Speaker 8: lines across more than one hundred countries and try and
Speaker 8: figure out who gets what and where all things are
Speaker 8: going for for not just reciprocal on tariffs but also
Speaker 8: non tariff things. It would be an absolute ton And
Speaker 8: so what we're given to understand is that Trump's coming
Speaker 8: wave of tariffs may be more targeted than what he
Speaker 8: had previously threatened. And we're still waiting for what details
Speaker 8: of that will look like. But you're already seeing a
Speaker 8: positive market.
Speaker 1: Response absolutely, with futures firmly in the green this morning.
Speaker 1: So what could this mean when it comes to future negotiation.
Speaker 1: We've seen Senator Danes of Montana in China over the
Speaker 1: weekend word that there are going to be negotiations all
Speaker 1: week long between the Assistant Trade Representative and Indian officials
Speaker 1: as well. Is it going to be a scramble ahead
Speaker 1: of this April second announcement?
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I do think that every country is
Speaker 8: looking forward to see what they can do and who
Speaker 8: they can meet with and where they can go. You know,
Speaker 8: I'm sat here in Asia right now, and Australia is
Speaker 8: trying to find a way forward to see how they
Speaker 8: can leverage their investments, including in planes and other things,
Speaker 8: to try and offset some other tariffs that would be
Speaker 8: you know, potentially considered. You know, so we're seeing a
Speaker 8: lot of those. I mean, I would note as well.
Speaker 8: You know, we pushed a story overnight Your Time about
Speaker 8: Christy Nome is going to Central and South America. One
Speaker 8: of those stops, she's going to meet with President of Mexico.
Speaker 8: I would imagine something like this will come up, not
Speaker 8: just talk about deportations and border security. So every single
Speaker 8: one of these opportunities that world leaders have is going
Speaker 8: to be a moment for them to press their case.
Speaker 8: We're seeing still a lot of uncertainty from those world
Speaker 8: leaders on how to engage the Trump administration. They go
Speaker 8: from a sort of elbows up mentality that comes from
Speaker 8: ice hockey that Canada is using, to a more kind
Speaker 8: of conversational, non confrontational push that Mexico is using. Everyone's
Speaker 8: trying to take notes from each other and see what
Speaker 8: might work best.
Speaker 1: So what could this mean when it comes to the
Speaker 1: idea of tariff's being a major revenue raiser. If we
Speaker 1: have a more targeted approach, will it be able to
Speaker 1: replace income taxes like President Trump has talked about in
Speaker 1: the past. Got about a minute left.
Speaker 8: Well, that is a bit of a catch twenty two,
Speaker 8: isn't it. Because the simple math says that the fewer
Speaker 8: tariffs that you actually levy, the less tariff revenue you're
Speaker 8: going to get. And so if Trump levy's less in
Speaker 8: the way of tariffs, he's going to get less revenue.
Speaker 8: That will give less revenue available for his domestic priorities.
Speaker 8: And remember, Republicans in Congress are already trying to figure
Speaker 8: out how to craft a big, beautiful bill, as the
Speaker 8: President has said, for some of his domestic priorities, as
Speaker 8: well as to extend his tax cuts as well as
Speaker 8: additional tax cuts that he has promised, all without exploding
Speaker 8: the deficit anymore. And that is a very very tall
Speaker 8: order indeed. So it's a lot of difficult decisions. We've
Speaker 8: had a lot of rhetoric, but there's going to be
Speaker 8: a lot of difficult decisions that have cost offsets attached
Speaker 8: to them.
