Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
are the stories we're following today.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Well, Karen, we begin with the latest developments in the
global trade war. President Donald Trump has unveiled a new
round of tariff demand letters, including a fifty percent rate
on imports from Brazil that threat set the country's currency
plunging as the president escalates a dispute with leftist leader
Luisa Nacio Lula de Silva.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
We get more from Bloomberg's Jill Lisis.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
This is certainly one that seems to be more political
than economic. I mean, Brazil, first of all, they weren't
part of the Liberation Day grouping because it's run a
trade deficit of the United States. Almost all of the
others have really run large surpluses. So what he's spelled
out as it relates to Brazil, as it relates to
their leader Lula, is that he's really upset about the

(00:57):
treatment of former President Bolsonaro. And then the other thing
I'd bring up as it relates to the Brazil situation
is that you know, probatent member of Bricks. They held
their big summit in Brazil just a few days ago,
and Lula was really kind of leading the charge there
in terms of railing against the US on various.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Issues, Bloomberg's Jill Lisis says.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
President Trump also announced tariff rates on other countries, including
thirty percent for Algeria, Libya, Iraq, and Sri Lanka, and
a twenty percent rate on goods from the Philippines Nathan.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
President Trump also confirm that a planned fifty percent tariff
on copper imports will begin on the first of August.
Analysts say the move could hurt American producers of everything
from automobiles to appliances. The chair of the President's Council
of Economic Advisor, Stephen Myron, says the move is a
key part of Trump's push to rebuild US industries.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
You know, there are certain critical minerals, of which copper
is one that you just absolutely need if you're going
to have a manufacturing sector. And having a manufacturing sector
is important, not just economically, because it tends to be
a high high capital, high productivity field.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
President's Council of Economic Advisors Stephen Myron, speaking of Bloomberg yesterday,
President Trump says copper was the second most used medal
by the Department of Defense. Well.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Meantime, Karen, President Trump is sounding optimistic about a ceasefire
deal between Israel and Hamas. The President says, negotiators are
very close to an agreement.

Speaker 7 (02:19):
There's nothing different, interdefinite about war and Gaza and all
of the other places that we all deal with so much.
But there's a very good chance that we'll have a
settlement and agreement of some kind this week and maybe
next week.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
If President Trump responded to an Axios report that US,
Israeli and Katari officials held a secret meeting at the
White House to work out lingering disagreements. Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanna, who says he is sticking to his goals
in Gaza.

Speaker 8 (02:48):
I want to achieve the release of our hostages. We
want to end Hamas rule in Gaza. We want to
make sure that Gaza does not pose a threat to
his wilk anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Prime Minister Tanyahu spoke at a meeting with senators on
Capitol Hill. Hama says it's agreed to release ten hostages
as talks continue. White House Envoy Steve Whitcoff says the
US wants a deal by the end of the week
on a sixty day ceasefire that would free all hostages
living and dead now caring. An update on the flood
recovery in Texas. At least one hundred and sixty people

(03:19):
are still missing in hardest hit Kerr County. Officials say
no one has been found alive since July fourth, after
the wall of water swept through more than sixty miles
of the Guadalupe River. As the search effort continues, Homeland
Security Secretary Christy Nome is reiterating her call to overhaul
the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
State and local leaders know that their communities and what
they know what they need better than the government ever could.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
They know their exact needs, and they know how best
to prepare.

Speaker 3 (03:48):

totally crazy, and that doesn't even get it into the

that expensive. No other semiconduct company has Ava had more

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Investors and businesses are grappling with the latest tariff letters
and sectoral threats from President Donald Trump, including fifty percent
rates for imports from Brazil and copper products. Joining us
now for the latest on the trade wars. Bloomberg News
Global Business Editor Josh Gaaloo and Josh. The copper tariff

(11:47):
in particular has gotten the market's attention pretty much all
week long. I mean there's still some questions about how
something like that could be implemented, though, are there.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (11:56):
As a matter of fact, markets appear to doubt that
it will be the full fifty percent that Trump has threatened.
You can see that in the margin between the price
in the US and the price in London, and they're
they're not pricing in that full fifty percent. But look,
this is something that you know, Trump and his administration

(12:18):
argue is sort of a national security priority because copper
is used in such an incredibly wide range of products
because of its obviously it's conductivity, conductivity, it's in a
lot of alloys. They're used for all kinds of appliances,
you know, motors, cars, everything. So you know, this is

(12:42):
a really difficult it's a it is a crucial metal
for the US and anyone looking to make these products.
But the US makes it about fifty percent of its own,
or it minds about fifty percent of its own copper,
and then the rest comes from you know, countries like Chile, Canada, Peru, Mexico.

(13:02):
So you know, this is a really this is going
to hurt American producers of all those things that I
was just mentioning who have to import copper. The price
is going to go up, and that kind of a
really wide impact on the economy.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
And when it comes to this tariff threat for Brazil,
obviously a fifty percent rate is much higher than some
of the other rates that we've heard about so far,
But this one seems a little more political than related
to the actual trade dynamic between the US and Brazil.

Speaker 15 (13:35):
That's right. What's interesting here is that Brazil actually runs
a deficit with the US when it comes to trading
of goods, and of course that balance of trade is
what Trump has always pointed to that he wants to
even out when he talks about putting in reciprocal tariffs

(13:55):
or even just straight bilateral tariffs. But you know, in
Trump's announcement for this, he did talk about Balsonaro, who
of course is the former Brazilian president who is facing
charges of insurrection after trying to interfere with the election
of in i think twenty twenty two of Lula. And

(14:18):
you know, he didn't even know there is no real
economic ground to stand on at least that's consistent with
his other tariffs that he's been putting on, you know,
across the board against countries. This one is clearly more political,
and he's demanding that Brazil dropped those charges, and right
now it looks like Brazil is very very much not

(14:40):
keen to do so, so we'll have to see how
that plays out. But you're right, it's really a much
more political use of that tool that we haven't quite
seen a use quite so blatantly like that.
