1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug Chrisner. 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: We began at the White House where President Trump met 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: earlier with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnyahu and later speaking 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: with the media, Trump proposed a US takeover of the 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: Gaza strip. 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: I do see a long term ownership position, and I 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 2: see it bringing great stability to that part of the 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 2: Middle East and maybe the entire Middle East. 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: That was President Trump speaking there. He also said Palestinians 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: should permanently leave Gaza, and he suggested an openness to 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: deploying US troops to secure the area. Trump said he 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: envisions Gaza as a riviera of the Middle East with 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: world class construction projects. Meantime, Netanyahu offered praise to Trump. 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: You stop funding international organizations like UNRA that support and funters, 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: and today you renewed the maximum pressure campaign against Iran 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. All this in just two weeks. Can 17 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: we imagine what will be in four years? I can, 18 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: I know you can, mister President. 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: That is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettnya who's speaking there now. 20 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: The meeting between Trump and Netanya, who took place as 21 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: negotiators attempt to broker the next phase of that ongoing 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: ceasefire agreement in Gaza, and it came on a day 23 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: when President Trump signed a directive to increase economic pressure 24 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: on Iran through sanctions and tougher enforcement. Most staffers at 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: the US Agency for International Development will be placed on 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: administrative leave beginning Friday. USAID has become a battleground in 27 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: the campaign by President Trump and Elon Musk to restructure 28 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: the federal government. People in mission critical and core leadership 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: roles will be exempted from this action. Thousands of USAID 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: employees have already been laid off. The US Postal Service 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: has temporarily suspended the acceptance of inbound international parcels from 32 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: China and Hong Kong. According to the USPS website, the 33 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: flow of letters and flats from China and Hong Kong 34 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: will not be impacted now. All of this comes after 35 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: President Trump imposed a blanket ten percent tariff on Chinese goods. 36 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: The suspension of inbound parcels from Hong Kong and the 37 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: mainland by the US Postal Service led to a drop 38 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: in Chinese e commerce stocks earlier today, the US Senate 39 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: has confirmed Pambondi. As Attorney General, she will become the 40 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: nation's top law enforcement official at a time when President 41 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: Trump has already begun to reshape the Justice Department. We 42 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: go to Earning's news next. After the bell, Alphabet posted 43 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: revenue from its Google Cloud unit below estimates, and at 44 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: the same time, Alphabet's overall revenue was disappointing. Bloomberg's Mandeep Singh. 45 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: Overall, I mean, look, the search was very resilient. You 46 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: can see that number was strong, which is why when 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: you look at the overall operating income, I mean it 48 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 2: was in line. So given how much you know, waight 49 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: we put on the cloud and the YouTube segments, the 50 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: fact that those two disappointed is why you're seeing that 51 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: knee jerk reaction. 52 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's man Deep Singh. Later on the earnings 53 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: call with analyst, Alphabet CEO Sundhar Pachai didn't offer much 54 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: in the way of future expectations, although he did weigh 55 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: in on recent developments out of China with regard to 56 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: the AI startup Deep Seek. 57 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: There's been a lot of observations on deep Seek. First 58 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 4: of all, you know, I think tremendous team. I think 59 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: they've done very very good work. I would say both 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: are two point zero flash models or two point oho 61 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: flash thinking models. You know, they are some of the 62 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 4: most efficient models out there, including comparing to deep Seek. 63 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: That is Sundhar Pachai speaking there. He is the CEO 64 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: of Alphabet. Now the company is being forced to demonstrate 65 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: that it is maintaining momentum across its businesses as Alphabet 66 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: spends more heavily on AI and as competition in the 67 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: market intensifies. Analysts saying the latest results will add pressure 68 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: on Alphabet to defend its levels of cap X spending. 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Shares right now are down nearly nine percent in late 70 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: US trading. We also heard after the bell from Advanced 71 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: micro Devices, and the company reported disappointing results for its 72 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: data center division. Revenue there three point eighty six billion 73 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: dollars that missed estimates by more than two hundred million dollars. 74 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: We got reaction from Bloomberg's Caroline Hide. 75 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 5: Relief they needed to assure their investor base. LISASU has 76 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: been under a lot of dures because data center serve 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 5: a provision. Ultimately, AI accelerators have not been able to 78 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 5: match the prowess of Nvidia everyone feeling. In fact, there've 79 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 5: been analyst after analysts downgrading the stock, worrying that they 80 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 5: just aren't there when it comes to a real competitor. 81 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 5: But the fact that she's able to deliver in margins 82 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 5: and focused on R and D and expenses coming in 83 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 5: perhaps a little bit higher. 84 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: There, that is Bloomberg's Caroline Hide shares an AI right now, 85 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: down more than eight percent in late US trading. And 86 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: that is news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, 87 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm Doug Prisner, and this is Bloomberg
