1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug Prisner.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: We begin in Washington, where earlier today President Trump issued

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: an order allowing a twenty five percent tariff on any

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: nation purchasing oil and gas from Venezuela, and at the

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: same time, Trump doubled down on new levies for lumber, cars,

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: and chips. This was one of many tariff announcements made today,

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: and President Trump also hinted at the possibility of giving

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: some countries a break on impending reciprocal tariffs.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: Here is Trump, we may take less than what they're

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: charging because they've charged us so much. I don't think

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: they could take it. In other words, they've charged us

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: so much that I'm embarrassed to charge them what they've

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: charged us. But it'll be substantial and you'll be hearing

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: about that on April second.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Now, these comments sowed further confusion ahead of that scheduled

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: announcement on April the second. Meantime, the President told reporters

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: he's planning to proceed with long threatened auto tariffs over

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: the next few days ahead of a broader package. We

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: got reaction today from josh Win Grove. He has senior

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: White House correspondent for Bloomberg News.

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: We think that the plan coming on aprilsecond, as of now,

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: is taking shape as a narrower plan than he's mused

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: about in the past, chiefly because he's long since sort

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: of moved off the plan for a global tariff, and

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: now we'll do these reciprocal tariffs, but not necessarily in

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: every country, and that the plan as of now does

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: not firmly include, as we report a couple of days ago,

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: those sectoral tariffs.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's josh Win Grove, the editor and chief

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: of The Atlantic. Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: group text where top US officials discussed plans to bomb

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Hoothy targets and Yemen. This group included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Vice President J. D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Heg Seth responded and discredited Goldberg.

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so called

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: journalists who's made a profession of pedaling hoax his time

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: and time again.

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: That is Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth speaking there. We got

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: reaction today from Bloomberg Politics contributor Genie Shanzeno.

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 5: To imagine that the people in charge of our top

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: secret classified information have decided to jump on a you

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 5: know what they call an encrypted or secure chat, and

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: to add somebody who's a reporter from the Atlanta Goldberg

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 5: who wrote that piece in twenty twenty after all, and

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: to add him by mistake, and then to discuss classified information.

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 5: It is mind numbingly stunning, That is.

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Politics contributor Genie Shanzeno. By the way, the breach

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: was acknowledged by the White House, However, the significance was downplayed.

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Officials said the contents did not put anyone in danger

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: and it showed deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials.

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: We go to Business News next. Hondai Motor unveiled plans

52
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: today to invest five point eight billion dollars in American manufacturing.

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Executives from the South Korean automaker joint President Trump and

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Republican lawmakers Here is Trump.

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: This will be Hyundai's first ever steel mill in the

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: United States, one of the largest companies in the world

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: by the way, supplying steel for pseudo parts and auto plants,

58
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: and Alabama and Georgia which will soon produced more than

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: one million American made cars every single year.

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Now, Hondai is planning to spend about twenty one billion

61
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: dollars in the US through twenty twenty eight on vehicle

62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: production and other projects. The company also said the investment

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: would strengthen the steel supply chain in the United States.

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: In addition, Hondai is intending to purchase three billion dollars

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: in American liquefied natural gas. Trump touted the investments as

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: a direct result of his tariff policy. The head of

67
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Fed, Rafael Bostik, sees just one rate cut

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: as likely this year rather than two with tariff's impeding

69
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: progress on disinflation. Here is Bostik speaking earlier to Bloomberg.

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 6: So I was a two. I moved to one mainly

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 6: because I think we're going to see inflation be very

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 6: bumpy and not moved dramatically and in a clear way

73
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 6: to the two percent target, because that's being pushed back.

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 6: I think the appropriate path for policy is also going

75
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 6: to have to be pushed back in getting us to

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 6: that neutral level.

77
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: That is raphae Albostik from the Atlanta Fed. He now

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: sees price growth returning to the Fed's two percent goal

79
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: at some point in early twenty twenty seven. Now, that

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: is in line with the fed's forecast published last week

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: in September, though officials had estimated they would reach their

82
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: inflation target in twenty twenty six. Bostik also said given

83
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: the pause on policy right now, the fed's actions may

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: need to be larger than they would otherwise when rates

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: are adjusted. Samsung Electronics says it's co CEO, Han Jung

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: he has died. The company did not provide further details,

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: although Cho Sun Biz earlier reported Han died due to

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: a heart attack. Han oversaw the consumer electronics and mobile

89
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: device division for Korea's largest company. He was sixty three

90
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: years old old. And that is news when you want

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug Krisner, and this

92
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: is Bloomberg
