Trump’s prices take effect, affecting everything, food for cars around the world

After months of threats, delays and extensions, the radical prices of President Donald Trump came into force overnight, increasing the overall average rate rate to more than 17%, it is the highest since the Great Depression. Everything, household appliances from the European Union and Japanese cars with food, furniture and toys from Chinese TV in South Korea, will be struck. However, certain imports of oil and gas, as well as certain smartphones and goods covered by a preexisting trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, are not affected.

Trump said his commercial offensive will not stop. The president said that he was still planning to impose import taxes on pharmaceutical and semiconductor products. In the middle of this pressure, Apple said it plans to invest $ 600 billion In the United States, over the next four years, in the middle of Trump pressure to move his supply chain to American soil.

In the meantime, Trump made an increase in the rate rate for India 50% due to Russian oil purchases by the country, and he declared that it could increase the price level of the European Union to 35%, against 15% if it renounced an investment commitment.

The Trump administration has already insisted that prices work, pointing billions raised in new monthly income for the federal government. Although the White House claims that the nations have promised hundreds of billions of dollars in investments, it has not published details on how this money will be spent.

Although the full effect of prices is not yet felt, the American economy seems to be on a much more fragile land than at the beginning of the year. Price growth has continued to increase, employment growth in manufacturing has flat sectors and other non -manufacturing sectors feel the pinch.

Kremlin says that the Putin-Trump meeting will occur in the “next days”

The Kremlin said Thursday that a meeting between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had been agreed in principle and will perform in the “days to come”, creating their first person in person of the second term of Trump.

At the same time, Moscow almost rejected Trump’s proposal for a three summit involving Putin and the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, continuing the Kremlin long-standing resistance to such a sit-down.

Trump’s efforts are part of his campaign promise to resolve the Russian war in Ukraine, and his widest “America First” undertakes to end the involvement in foreign conflicts.

“At the suggestion of the American team, an agreement in principle was concluded to keep a bilateral meeting at the highest level in the coming days,” said the longtime assistance of Putin’s foreign policy yesterday. The Russian part had “left this option completely, completely without comment”.

The Trump administration is expected to impose secondary sanctions on Russia this week, despite a meeting yesterday between the American special envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin. An administration official said secondary sanctions “should always be implemented on Friday”.

Zelenskyy said he spoke to Trump after Witkoff’s meeting and reiterated the country’s insistence to defend his independence. Putin’s foreign policy, Yury Ushakov said that talks were “very useful and constructive”, adding that Russia had “transferred certain signals … to the Ukrainian issue”. Read the full story here.

Texas surgeon fears that the insurance dispute could force it to go bankrupt

DRE Elisabeth Potter said that she was halfway through a breast reconstruction operation when she received a call from a representative of Unitedhealthcare who wanted to talk about the patient on the table. During the call, Potter said that the representative wanted more information on the reasons why the patient needed a night stay, even if surgery had been approved. “If they can ring me in the operating room, not for something urgently, just for that, and to ask me to justify it to go overnight … We have lost our way,” said Potter in a Tiktok video that has accumulated almost 6 million views.

Potter said Unitedhealthcare had denied a coverage for the hospital. An insurance spokesman said that the stay had been approved but that there had been an error with a separate request.

Now Potter thinks that Unitedhealthcare Rinalia against her because of her publications on social networks, but not allowing her clinic in Austin, Texas, to join their list of network suppliers. Without being able to accept UNITEDHEALTHCARE patients in the network – the second largest player in the market, according to Texas Department of Insurance – Potter said it could probably not stay in business.

Experts say that the dispute is an example of continuous tension between insurers and health care providers. Potter’s dispute, in particular, occurs while Unitedhealth Group is subject to meticulous examination. Read the full story here.

Choice of staff: The conservative community fights the deportation of a beloved teacher

I am infinitely fascinated by the stories of people dealing with the effects of major political decisions, such as the overhaul of the American immigration policy. I was particularly interested in this incredible story of Daniela Pierre-Bravo about a Haitian immigrant who became a beloved element of his Ohio community, where 83% of voters supported Trump last year.

Science teacher Marc Rocher has seen serious violence in Haiti. After a close friend was kidnapped and killed was the final straw, he left for the United States, finding his way to the county of Putnam under temporary protection status. Although it is a reliable republican state of the state, enthusiasts of the county of Putnam, the students and the members of the community realized that the loss of rock in the country’s immigration policies, which they helped to set in motion as the electors of Trump, would mean losing a pillar of the community.

Now, the pastor of a conservative church defends Rocher. Secondary students send letters pleading with the secretary of the DHS, Kristi Noem, to let him stay. And a family with adopted Haitian children says that Rocher helped their sons heal the trauma inflicted on their country of origin. To them, rock puts a human face on a polarizing political question. – Michelle GarciaNBC BLK editorial director
