Tariffs rollout and stock market mayhem
(CNBC) Before Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s tariffs were expected to be a problem for markets and the economy, but a manageable one. What happened instead is something worse than the worst-case scenario, which previously had been one where the U.S. would slap true “reciprocal” duties on its trading partners that would match tariffs charged to American exports. If Trump was playing chicken with the rest of the world, he lost round one.
Trump's 'All Tariff' Proposal is Class War for the Rich
(Current Affairs) Donald Trump is floating the idea of eliminating the federal income tax. In its place, he wants to implement an “all tariff policy,” according to a campaign source who recently spoke with CNBC. It’s an even more radical expansion of a policy Trump has already proposed publicly, to place a minimum 10-percent tariff on all imports to the United States, which would be used to finance more tax cuts that would disproportionately benefit the rich.
More US Senate Republicans voice support for congressional oversight on tariffs
(Reuters) A U.S. Senate bill that would require congressional approval for new tariffs gained more Republican support on Friday, on the second day of a stock market rout sparked by President Donald Trump's move to impose sweeping new taxes on imports. Republican U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined on as co-sponsors of a bill introduced on Thursday by Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Democrat Maria Cantwell of Washington.
British tourist detained, shackled, sent to immigration detention centre
(The Guardian) Becky was shackled and put into the back of a van. “I had no idea where we were going. It was just bumping around in darkness with handcuffs on.” At 2.30am, she arrived at the Ice facility in Tacoma, Washington. She was made to change into standard-issue underwear, a yellow top and trousers. Officers took away all her personal belongings, measured her height and weight, made her pose for a mugshot, and assigned her an “A” number (short for “alien”). Whenever she asked the people processing her arrival how long she would be detained for, they told her they couldn’t help: they worked for GEO, the private company contracted to run the facility, and not Ice, the government body that would decide her fate.
