00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: Good morning.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 3: stories we're following today.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin with copper trading at a record, as

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News has learned US tariffs on copper imports could

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: be coming within weeks. That would be months earlier that expected.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: The news comes as President Trump told Newsmax there could

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: be limited exceptions to his tariff.

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 4: Push, not too many exceptions.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 5: Now.

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 4: I don't want to have too many exceptions. Look, we've

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 4: been ripped off for forty five years by other countries,

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 4: fifty years more. We always were soft and weak. It's

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 4: almost like we had people that didn't know what they

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 4: were doing. We were just ripped as a country like

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 4: nobody has ever seen before.

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: It was President Trump speaking on Newsmax. Analysts to Goldman,

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: Sachs and City Group and Notes have said they expect

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: the US will impose a twenty five percent copper tariff

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: by year's end.

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: Well, Nathan, President Trump is also saying more about the

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 3: signal chat that Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was allowed into

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: as top officials discussed plans to bomb Yemen in the

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: Newsmax interview, the President suggested a lower level stafford, a

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: national security advisor Mike Waltz, invited Goldberg into the chain.

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: Somehow this guy ended up on the call. Now it

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: wasn't classified, as I understand that there was no classified information.

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: There was no problem, and the attack was a tremendous success.

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: President Trump says his administration is investigating how Goldberg was added,

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: but Mike Waltz says the mistake is on him.

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 6: I take responsibility.

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 7: I built the I built the group.

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: Okay, So.

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 6: But look, that's the part that we have to figure out,

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 6: and that's the part that we were embarrassing.

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Yes, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz tells Fox News he's

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: spoken with Elon Musk about the incident. Jeffrey Goldberg did

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: not reveal actual attack plans in his article about the

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: apparent breach, but did say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: one point shared operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen.

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of forthcoming, Karen, the US Treasury Department is the

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: latest target of Elon Musk's forthcoming do JE effort. Let's

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: get the very latest one that from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John,

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: I assume we're talking about job cuts.

46
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 8: Yes, we are, and.

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 9: The Treasury says it's planning to lay off what it calls, quote,

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 9: a substantial number of employees. The Treasuries finalizing the plans

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 9: in response to President Trump's executive order implementing the Department

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 9: of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire Elon Musk. The Treasury

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 9: has more than one hundred thousand employees across several different viewers,

52
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 9: including the Internal Revenue Service. The disclosure comes from a

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 9: Treasury human resources official as part of a collection of

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 9: sworn affidavits filed in court. The Trump administration has been

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 9: required to certify to a federal judge that's complying with

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 9: a temporary restraining order. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: All right, John, thank you. Meanwhile, Republican leaders say they

58
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: are getting close to agreeing on a plan to pass

59
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: an extension of President Trump's twenty seventeen tax cuts and

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: an increase to the death ceiling.

61
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 6: The plan is to approve.

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: An economic package by the end of May, with House

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: lawmakers aiming to move even quicker before the Memorial Day weekend.

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: Well, caeren Now we get to the latest developments in

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: the war in Ukraine. The US says Russia and Ukraine

66
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: have agreed to a cease fire in the Black Sea.

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: The Kremlin has confirmed the agreement but says it's conditional

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: on lifting sanctions on banks and companies involved in agricultural exports.

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: Ukraine's president Vladimir Lenski says his forces will observe the

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: partial truth immediately, but in a video post on x

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: he also sounded this warning, Alik, sure if.

72
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 7: This agreement fails, if Russia does not fulfill the terms

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 7: of today's agreement and instead tries once again to pressure

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 7: the US, Europe and Ukraine, then I believe this should

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 7: be only response. Definitely new sanctions.

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Ukrainian President Vladimir Selenski, speaking through an interpreter on x

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: and in the Newsmax interview, President Trump conceded Russian President

78
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin may be delaying a full cease fire agreement.

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: I think that Russia wants to see an end to it,

80
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: but it could be the dragon, the feed I've done

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 4: it over the years. Yeah, I don't want to sign

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: a contract. I want to sort of stay in the game.

83
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: But maybe I don't want to do it quite I'm

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: not sure, but no, I think Russia would like to

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: see it end, and I think so Lensky would like

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: to see it end.

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: At this point, Bloomberg News has learned the Trump administration

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: is aiming to reach a full cease fire as soon

89
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: as April twentieth. The Ukrainian and European officials have called

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: that timeline overly ambitious.

91
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: We turn to the markets now, Nathan futures they're lower,

92
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: following three straight days of gains on Wall Street. Jim Bianco,

93
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: president and founder at Bianco Research, thinks the worst is over.

94
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 9: We have more.

95
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 10: Uncertainty now than we did during the COVID shutdown during

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 10: nine to eleven or during the financial crisis. Now is

97
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 10: more than a certain period. It isn't we're overdoing it

98
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 10: right now. So I don't understand why we're getting ourselves

99
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 10: all worked up that this isn't just a ten percent

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 10: correction in the stock market. But this is the end

101
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 10: of the American experience right now. So this is the

102
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 10: type of environment where bottoms are made in markets.

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: Jim Bianco of Bianco Research stocks that bounced back in

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: recent days as the Winehouse signaled plans to take a

105
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: more targeted approach to the tariffs coming next week.

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: We have this just crossing the Bloomberg terminal, Karen, it

107
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: was a good year to work on Wall Street. The

108
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: average annual bonus rose by almost a third in twenty

109
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: twenty four to almost two hundred and forty five thousand dollars.

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: Total payouts jumped to a record forty seven and a

111
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: half billion, the largest since at least nineteen eighty seven,

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: when these records began, as revenue gains from trading and

113
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: underwriting fueled a near doubling of Wall Street Bank profits.

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: Well not a company news nathan An Apple CEO Tim

115
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: Cook has paid a visit to the hometown of China's

116
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: Deep Seek. That's the company that shocked the world with

117
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: its artificial intelligence models built at a fraction of the

118
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: cost of American rivals. Cook met with developers at Xeijog

119
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: University and Hangjau. The city is home to some of

120
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: China's most revered tech firms, including Ali Baba and A.

121
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: Stock on the move in a big way this morning,

122
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: Karen is Game Stop. The shares of the video game

123
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: retailer are up more than twelve and a half percent

124
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: in early trading. Of course, GameStop was a favorite of

125
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: retail traders during the meme fre frenzy. Now, GameStop says

126
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: its board has approved a plan to add bitcoin as

127
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: a treasury reserve asset.

128
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: Time now for look at some of the other stories

129
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: making news in New York and around the world, and

130
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 3: for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.

131
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 8: Michael, Good Morning, Good morning, Karen. President Trump signed an

132
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 8: executive order that aims to overhaul the election system. One

133
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 8: of the order's requirement is to require voters to show

134
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 8: proof of citizenship before they can register for federal elections.

135
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 8: Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson says Trump's action will

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 8: likely face a vigorous legal challenge.

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 11: Estimates are that almost ten percent of US citizens of

138
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 11: voting age, which is over twenty one million people, don't

139
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 11: have proof of citizenship. They're readily available. Who are we

140
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 11: talking about here when it comes to people who lack

141
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 11: proof of citizenship that's readily available. Sometimes we're talking about

142
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 11: married women who have changed their names and their birth

143
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 11: certificates list their maiden names.

144
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 8: Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson spoke to CBS. There's

145
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 8: growing concern about DNA held by a testing firm. New

146
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 8: York Attorney General Letitia James is joining a chorus of

147
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 8: voices warning millions of users to delete their data and

148
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 8: destroy DNA samples held by twenty three and Me. It

149
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 8: comes after twenty three and Me declared bankruptcy, raising concerns

150
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 8: of whether the genetic testing company can protect its customers.

151
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 8: Vice president JD. Van said that he would join a

152
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 8: delegation visiting Greenland this week, and said he would join

153
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 8: the trip on Friday, which was already slated to include

154
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 8: his wife.

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: There was so much excitement around Usha's visit to Greenland

156
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: this Friday that I decided that I didn't want her

157
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: to have all that fund by herself, and so I'm

158
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: going to join her.

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 8: The trip has smart criticism from local leaders in the

160
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 8: Danish territory that President Donald Trump has suggested should come

161
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 8: under American control. New York Governor Kathy Hokeel asked the

162
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 8: federal government to increase its funding contribution to the Metropolitan

163
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 8: Transportation Authority in a March twenty fourth letter. The MTA

164
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 8: carries forty three percent of the nation's mass transit writers

165
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 8: but receives only seventeen percent of federal funding, which Hoko

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 8: calls a fundamental misalignment. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the

167
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 8: request outrageous, adding in a social media post, Governor hokel

168
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 8: is asking for more money for the horribly run MDA

169
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 8: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you

170
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 8: want it with Bloomberg News. Now. I'm Michael Barr, and

171
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 8: this is Bloomberg Kevin.

172
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: All right, Michael Barr, thank you time now for the

173
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Sports Update, brought to you by Tri State OUTI

174
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: here's John Stanshawer, John, good morning.

175
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 12: Norning, Karen a wake Ago. Tommy DeVito was the only

176
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 12: quarterback on the Giants roster. Then last Friday they added

177
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 12: Jameis Winston. Now four days later, Russell Wilson has become

178
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 12: a Giant. Just a one year deal. He can make

179
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 12: up to twenty one million, about half that guaranteed.

180
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 8: Wilson is thirty six.

181
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 12: They're not getting the nine time pro bowler from his

182
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 12: days in Seattle. He struggled in Denvery with subbar down

183
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 12: the stretch this past season with Pittsburger. Wilson's career record

184
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 12: as a starting QB is forty four games over five hundred.

185
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 12: This puts the Giants out of the running to get

186
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers, but the feeling is it does not mean

187
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 12: they won't also draft a quarterback next month.

188
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 8: They've got the third pick.

189
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 12: The Patriots signed veteran white out Stefan Diggs the Garden.

190
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 8: Triple Double Knight.

191
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 12: Karl Anthony Towns twenty six points, Josh Hart scored sixteen.

192
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 12: They both add twelve rebounds and eleven assists for Hart

193
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 12: his ninth triple double this season, breaking Clyde Fraser's team record.

194
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 12: Teammates with triple doubles had never been done before in

195
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 12: next history. They made Dallas one twenty eight to one thirteen.

196
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 12: The coach his tump him out.

197
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: Uh the way, you know Josh was going to another

198
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: triple double, breaking the record, you know, great accomplishment, and

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 5: then tab Kat do it as well. That's pretty special.

200
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 5: But uh Ogi was terrific throughout. I thought McHale gave

201
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 5: us really good minutes and then our point guard play

202
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: between Cam and Tyler was was also very good.

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 12: Jennen and I'll be team high thirty five points. Not

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 12: g Marshall scored thirty eight for the Mass Rangers in

205
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 12: La scored first JT. Miller early second perioded, but it

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 12: was their only goal. They lost to the King three

207
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 12: to one.

208
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 8: John Stashiel went Boomberg Sports.

209
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: Karennath Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,

210
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the

211
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: bloom Burg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

212
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager, and we now stand a

213
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: week away from President Trump's promised liberation day of country

214
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: by country tariffs around the world. After hinting earlier this

215
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: week that some countries could get breaks, the President now

216
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: says he does not want too many exceptions.

217
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: All we're going to do it's reciprocal. We're just going

218
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: to be reciprocal. In fact, I'll probably be more lenient

219
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: than reciprocal, because if I was reciprocal, that would be

220
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: very tough for people.

221
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: President Trump spoke on Newsmax as Bloomberg News has learned,

222
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: the President may impose copper tariffs within weeks, months ahead

223
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: of deadline. For the very latest, we are joined by

224
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, what is the

225
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 2: President considering when it comes to copper tariffs.

226
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 8: What have we learned?

227
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Nathan, Thanks for having me. So what

228
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 6: we do know is when President Trump called on the

229
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 6: Department of Commerce to look into the possibility of tariffs

230
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 6: on copper imports, that investigation could have taken up to

231
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 6: nine months. Now it seems like the administration their probe

232
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 6: is moving very quickly. They expect to have a report

233
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 6: on the President's desk very shortly. So nine months has

234
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 6: gone down to possibly days or weeks before a report

235
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 6: is ready and the President makes a decision with people

236
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 6: in the administration. Administration suggesting that the President has largely

237
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: made up his mind that there will likely be tariffs

238
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 6: on copper imports. And you saw that affecting the markets.

239
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: Today absolutely, with copper trading close to if not at

240
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: a record. Why the apparent rush here, Bill, I mean,

241
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: it took several months, didn't it for steal into aluminum

242
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: tariffs to be finalized?

243
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: It did?

244
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 6: I think? You know, I think the President has just

245
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 6: identified this as another one of his priorities. It's a

246
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 6: way to it's a way to, in his mind, I think,

247
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 6: help boost domestic mining, domestic manufacturing, try to get more

248
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: of that in here. The reality is what we're seeing

249
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 6: with a lot of products, including metals, is that shippers

250
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 6: are trying to get that into the US before anything

251
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 6: takes effect. But as you know, and people who are

252
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 6: listening every day, no on this show, every day, we

253
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 6: have a slightly different news when it comes to tariffs.

254
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 6: So what we're talking about today, there's still a lot

255
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: of time for things to change before copper tariffs come

256
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 6: and before this April second Liberation Day that the President

257
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 6: keeps talking about.

258
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: And to that point, the President keeps talking about whether

259
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: some countries could get exceptions, whether he even wants to

260
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: see exceptions. What is the messaging that we're getting from

261
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: the President at this point when it comes to what

262
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: we could get on this coming Wednesday, Well.

263
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 6: What we expected, I think a few weeks ago was

264
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 6: perhaps a wall of tariffs coming down on all imported

265
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 6: goods from all countries. It looks like that perhaps is

266
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 6: a bit of a stretch in terms of being able

267
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 6: to do that for every country. The administration has repeatedly

268
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 6: talked about a narrower list of countries. We don't know

269
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 6: how many countries are in a narrower list. That certainly

270
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 6: opens the door for a lot of lobbying by different countries,

271
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 6: and I think what we heard in your clip there

272
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 6: is the President pushing back on some of those efforts.

273
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 6: But we know the countries he's talked quite a bit about.

274
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 6: They include Canada and Mexico obviously already under a lot

275
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: of tariffs. There's China, There's India, who he said has

276
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 6: very high tariffs, even Ireland, So a lot of European

277
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 6: countries likely facing some of these tariffs as well. So

278
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 6: it's just universally, there's not going to be a lot

279
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 6: of clarity until we wake up on April second.

280
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: While the market's focused on what could be coming a

281
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: week from today, there's also a lot of focus in

282
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: Washington still Bill on this signal chat that Atlantic journalist

283
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Goldberg got into about Yemen plans. What's the latest on.

284
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 6: That, Well, we're seeing a real circling of the wagons there,

285
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 6: the President saying that they're going to be looking into

286
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 6: how this journalist was added to that text, but largely

287
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 6: defending his National security advisor Michael Waltz for the work

288
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 6: he's done so far there, Michael saying that he doesn't

289
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 6: know how Jeffrey Goldberg got into that chat group. He

290
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 6: said he took responsibility, but he's not sure how that happened.

291
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 6: And then you had the D and I director Tulsea

292
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 6: Gabbard and John Ratcliffe, head of the CIA, up on

293
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 6: the Hill yesterday, up on the Hill today. So far

294
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 6: their line has been there's not been classified information shared,

295
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 6: but of course we haven't seen that full text message

296
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 6: because Goldberg decided not to publish it.
