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):
Karen, we begin with the latest on the trade wars.
President Donald Trump is promising to press ahead with his
plans for aggressive tariffs. He says there will be no
extensions to the August first deadline for higher import rates.
That's after he said he was not one hundred percent
firm on the new date earlier this week.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
It wasn't a change, it was August first. We don't
change very much. You know, every time we put out
a statement, they say he made a change. I didn't
make a change. Clarification maybe.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And at his latest cabinet meeting, heard live here on
Bloomberg Radio, President Trump said he will impose a fifty
percent tariff on copper products entering the US, and he
floated even higher rates on pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
We're going to give people about a year a year
and a half to come in and after that they're
going to be tariffed. If they have to bring the
pharmaceuticals into the country, drugs and other things into the country,
they're going to be tariffed. At a very very high rate,
like two hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Despite progress with the European Union, President Trump says he
may announce a new tariff rate on the block within
the next two days due to their taxes and fines
on US tech firms. The President says at least seven
countries could find out their trade status in letters later
this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Nathan Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary's Scout Besson says the tariff hikes
are bringing in big money to the US. He also
spoke during the cabinet meeting.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
We will take it in about one hundred billion dollars
in tariff income thus far this year, and that's with
the tariff the major tariff not having started toil the
second quarter, so we could expect that that could be
well over three hundred billion by the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says a major jump in tariff
collection will start on August first, when new tariff rates
take effect.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Now, let's turned to the latest on the disaster recovery
in Central Texas. Karen search crews continue to slog through
thick mud and looking for any survivors of the catastrophic
flooding along the Guadalupe River, Texas Governor Greg Gabbott says
one hundred nine people are confirmed dead and at least
one hundred and sixty one may still be unaccounted for.
The Hearts of our fellow Texans are breaking every single
(02:16):
day because of what people of this community and the
surrounding area are going through. Governor Greg Gabbott toward the
disaster zone yesterday, Texas Game boardens say their crews have
searched more than twenty six river miles with helicopters, drones, boats,
and canine units. They say their team alone saved about
four hundred and forty four people and recovered thirty bodies.
(02:36):
President Trump plans to visit the area on Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Nathan. The US will start charging interest again on student loans.
The Education Department says we'll begin collecting from an estimated
seven point seven million borrowers who've been in legal limbo
since a repayment plan created by former President Joe Biden
was blocked in court interest charges for people enrolled in
the Saving on a Valuable education or saved. We'll begin
(03:01):
on August first.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Turning to markets, now, Karen Apple is losing more talent.
Let's get the latest with Bloomberg's John Tucker. Who's leaving now, John.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Well, it's Apple's number two man, the chief operating officer,
Jeff Williams. He's retiring, but he's sixty two year old.
Williams was once considered a possible successor to the CEO,
Tim Cook. So b Cohn will replace Williams as CEO,
while Apple's design team that's going to shift to reporting
directly to the CEO Tim Cook. At Apple, Williams was
(03:30):
known for crafting a supply chain that can handle hundreds
of millions of devices a year while sourcing components from
thousands of suppliers around the world, a huge job. This
marks a major changing of the guard at an already
tumultuous time for the iPhone maker. Yesterday we told you
about the departure of Rooming Peng, a distinguished engineer and
manager in charge of the Apple Foundation Models team. He's
(03:53):
headed to Meta in New York. Ime, John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
All right, John, thank you. It was a disappointing first
day of prime sales, and that helped lead to a
drop of one point eight percent and Amazon shares momentum
commerce as sales fell almost fourteen percent in the first
four hours of the event compared to the same time
last year. Bloomberg Spenser Soaper says, there is one major
change this year.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
It's a four day event this year, you know, as
opposed to two days. So it's still interesting to see
that out of the gate it was soft. But they've
spread this over four days now. So the question is
is there less of a sense of urgency among shoppers, like, Oh,
that's a good deal, I better buy it now before
we run out of time.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Bloomberg Spencer Soaper says Amazon launched Prime Day and twenty
fifteen to attract new subscribers who pay one hundred and
thirty nine dollars a year for shipping, discounts, video streaming,
and other benefits.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And another Tech news Karen OpenAI chief executive officer Sam
Altman says he has not yet spoken to Mark Zuckerberg
since the meta platform CEO poached some of his top engineers.
Altman talked about it with reporters at the Sun Valley
Conference Idaho.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
I think we have.
Speaker 10 (05:01):
An incredible I mean, obviously have an incredibly talented team,
and I think they really love what they're doing. Obviously,
some people will go to different places. There's a lot
of excitement, I guess we could say in the industry.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Open Ai chief executive Sam Altman says Meta offered people
as much as one hundred million dollars to jump ship.
He says he expects a meeting with Zuckerberg at the
Allen and Company gathering this week.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Nathan Sources tell Bloomberg that's SpaceX is discussing plans to
raise money and sell insider shares and a deal that
would value the company at four hundred billion dollars. Begin
more from Bloomberg Technology reporter Ed Ludlow.
Speaker 11 (05:35):
Right now, the share price being discussed is two hundred
and eight dollars to two hundred and twelve dollars. There's
still a little way to go. It could change, but
it's quite a jump from the last valuation that we
reported of three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Part of
that reflects, of course, not just space exits position in
dominating commercial launch, but the Starling component as well.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And Bloomberg Technology reporter Ed Ludlow says this would mark
the largest valuation for a privately held US company.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And Keren we may have a big deal on the
way in the drug industry, The Financial Times is reporting
Merks closing in on a ten billion dollar acquisition of
respiratory drug maker Verona Pharma. The paper says Mirk would
pay one hundred and seven dollars per American Depository share
for the biotech company. That's a twenty three percent premium
to yesterday's closing price.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Time now for a look at some of the other
stories making news in New York and around the world.
And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's and Michael Barr. Michael,
good morning, Good.
Speaker 12 (06:33):
Morning, Karen. After nine days, there is late word of
a settlement in the city workers' strike in Philadelphia.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
Ask me.
Speaker 12 (06:39):
District Council thirty three has been fighting for better pay. Meanwhile,
the strike may be over, but across the city at
many of the sixty plus trash drop off sites, the
mixture of rainy conditions over the long weekend and heat
left a massive smelly headache. Residents have to walk past
the mountains of garbage at night.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The trash is well real bid and this fission there
or of crabs in there is kind of like a
bed owner.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
On top of sanitation workers. DC thirty three represents employees
across multiple city departments, including police dispatchers and maintenance workers
at Philadelphia International Airport. President Trump says that he is
not happy with the Russian president Vladimir Putin over the
ongoing strikes in Ukraine. This comes after reports that the
(07:27):
Trump administration, specifically the Defense Department, was going to pause
a weapon shipment to Ukraine, but the President refuted that
and said he wants to send more weapons to Ukraine.
Reporters asked the President about legislation champion by Republican Senator
Lindsey Graham to sanctioned Russia.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
Further, it's an optional bill.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's totally at my option.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
They passed it totally at my option, and to terminate
totally at my option, and I'm looking at it very strongly.
Speaker 12 (07:55):
It comes as Russia launched more tacks today on Ukraine.
Los Angeles Mayor Aaron Bass has joined legal action against
the Trump administration, calling the immigration raids in her city
unlawful and designed to instill fear. Pass said the mapped
ice agents grabbing people off the street could be anyone.
Speaker 10 (08:12):
Aside from the fact that this is unconstitutional, how do
we know the difference between this and the kidnapping.
Speaker 12 (08:19):
Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you
want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Michael Barr, and
this is Bloomberg Karen.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
All right, Michael Barr, thank you time now for the
Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour, John.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
Good morning, Good morning, Karen.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
After a day off, but followed playing each other, Mets
and the Yankees, who've both been slumping the past two weeks,
both had victories. Easy for the Yanks at the Stadium,
a five runs sixth inning with John Carlos standing in
a three run homer, Austin Wells a two run shot.
He's Howard in three straight games, and then in inning
later four more runs with Aaron Judge hitting home run
number thirty four.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Yanks all loibil the Mariners ten to three.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Needed the win because Toronto beat the White Sox six
to one. Of the Blue Jays have won ten games
in a row, they stay three and a half games ahead.
A dramatic win for the Mets, their biggest comeback of
the season. In Baltimore, they were down six to two
in the eighth inning, two run homers by Francisco Lindor
and Pete Alonzo to tie the game, and then Juan
Soto with a game when he hit tenth inning to
beat the Oriel seven to six. Of the Metster back
(09:22):
into a tie for first with the Phillies, who lost
to the Giants four to three in San Francisco. Patrick
Bailey wanted on a walk off inside the park home
run tenth inning Red Sox over the Rockies ten to two.
The Nationals under new manager Miguel Cairo, lost in Saint
Louis four to two. The Dodgers lost their fifth in
a row three to one at Milwaukee. Mike Brown introduced
(09:45):
as the knicks thirty second coach in team history and
grateful to get the job.
Speaker 13 (09:51):
Talk about historic franchise, Madison Square Garden Tychonic are fans
that are the most knowledgeable and passionate probably in all
of sports.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
A lot of those fans were wondering why the Knicks
fired Toime Thibodeau after the most successful season a twenty
five years. They'll be rooty for Brown to take the
team a little bit further in the playoffs and wimbled.
Then they'll wrap up the quarterfinals.

Speaker 9 (10:37):
This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
President Donald Trump appears to be holding firm now to
his new deadline for countries around the world to reach
trade deals with the US.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
August first, they pay, and everybody pays. Everybody has to pay.
And the incentive is that they have the right to
deal in the United States. If they don't want to,
they don't have to pay, and they don't have to deal.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Here.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I was the President speaking in a cabinet meeting heard
live on Bloomberg Radio this morning. We're joined by Bloomberg
News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Of course, Bill, just a
couple of days ago, the President said he wasn't one
hundred percent firm on the August first deadline. Now it
sounds like things may be firming up.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Good morning, Good morning, Nathan.
Speaker 14 (11:18):
Yeah, I mean it's basically a three week additional extension, right,
so a lot can happen in that time. I mean,
I think three weeks in the current universes is a
very long time for further negotiations and other deals to
be made. I mean, this all goes back to April. Now,
April second was Liberation Day. That was when tarifs were
(11:40):
coming into place or announced, and then it was kicked
to July ninth. Well, we're at July ninth, and now
it's August first. So the markets, I think yesterday we're
betting that maybe Donald Trump wouldn't hold too firm on
that deadline, and I think he woke up to that
news on Tuesday and wanted to squash it. But I
think we'll only know for sure when it's August first.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
On the other hand, we did see a pretty sharp
reaction in the copper market when the President said he
could float fifty percent duties on copper products entering the US.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
What could that mean for that market?
Speaker 14 (12:16):
Well, it's interesting because the President first talked about tariffs
on copper back in February, and ever since then, you've
seen traders directing more copper into the US into inventory,
really stockpiling that the US still needs I think about
forty percent of its copper demand to be imported, so
(12:38):
it's it's not going to be self sufficient for a
very long time. And I mean we're talking about you know,
everything from you know, car batteries to just basic industry
that needs needs copper to function. So there's going to
continue to be a dependence on imports for that for
probably the you know, several years ahead. So I think
(13:00):
I think that's a potential inflation early inflation indicator there
if we do hit that fifty percent tariff in August.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Now on top of the twenty five percent tariffs you've
already heard about for steal and.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Aluminum as well.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And then there's this talk of up to two hundred
percent on drug companies if they don't onshore into the
US in the next year or so.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
How serious to take that?
Speaker 14 (13:27):
Yeah, I mean it's something pharmaceuticals has been a focus
for this president. He wants to see more of the
pharma industry back inside the United States. Two hundred percent
would be huge, of course, if you know, particularly if
it's the you know, the drug that you need for
your particular illness, that would be a huge cost. So
(13:48):
he did, he did put out there the idea that
it could take a year, a year and a half
or so before that would go into effect, he'd want
to see the pharma companies building their production facilities in
the US shifting production over here.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
So there's a little longer of a.
Speaker 14 (14:05):
Runway on that kind of a change, but it would
certainly be a major disruption in the market.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I mean, are those the kind of things though that
could affect the ongoing country by country trade negotiations that
are happening. When you think about the pharmaceutical industry in particular,
a lot of those companies are based in the European Union,
and there's supposed to be some kind of announcement about
the EU. Were thinking this week, still, isn't there.
Speaker 14 (14:28):
Yeah, the administration has said, you know, maybe within the
next two days we'd have some sort of a framework
deal with the EU. The EU, of course, was facing
up to a fifty percent tariff. What we know from
our reporting is that negotiators have really focused on some
key sectors that they want to get carveouts for. So
that would include things like aerospace with Airbus, it would
(14:49):
include German automakers like BMW and Mercedes who have factories
in the United States, And it would include things like
alcohol shipments on the EU. So it's that's you know,
that just gives you a taste. I think of the
number of exceptions that might be coming through when we
announce a deal, but there will be quite a few
(15:10):
products if it stays at the current levels that get
hit with a fifty percent tariff.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So in our last thirty seconds bill, what should we
be looking for in the next few days here? I
think we heard the President say of several countries could
get letters like we've seen this week.
Speaker 14 (15:24):
Later on this morning, Yeah, they said up to a
dozen more countries could be getting letters. I think you
know you mentioned the EU. I think we're also looking
to see what the status is with India. That has
been a priority for the administration, and that's one that
we haven't heard a lot about. So that's that's the
next one on my list.

Speaker 9 (08:36):
Good morning, Good morning, Karen.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
After a day off, but followed playing each other, Mets
and the Yankees, who've both been slumping the past two weeks,
both had victories. Easy for the Yanks at the Stadium,
a five runs sixth inning with John Carlos standing in
a three run homer, Austin Wells a two run shot.
He's Howard in three straight games, and then in inning
later four more runs with Aaron Judge hitting home run
number thirty four.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Yanks all loibil the Mariners ten to three.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Needed the win because Toronto beat the White Sox six
to one. Of the Blue Jays have won ten games
in a row, they stay three and a half games ahead.
A dramatic win for the Mets, their biggest comeback of
the season. In Baltimore, they were down six to two
in the eighth inning, two run homers by Francisco Lindor
and Pete Alonzo to tie the game, and then Juan
Soto with a game when he hit tenth inning to
beat the Oriel seven to six. Of the Metster back
(09:22):
into a tie for first with the Phillies, who lost
to the Giants four to three in San Francisco. Patrick
Bailey wanted on a walk off inside the park home
run tenth inning Red Sox over the Rockies ten to two.
The Nationals under new manager Miguel Cairo, lost in Saint
Louis four to two. The Dodgers lost their fifth in
a row three to one at Milwaukee. Mike Brown introduced
(09:45):
as the knicks thirty second coach in team history and
grateful to get the job.
Speaker 13 (09:51):
Talk about historic franchise, Madison Square Garden Tychonic are fans
that are the most knowledgeable and passionate probably in all
of sports.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
A lot of those fans were wondering why the Knicks
fired Toime Thibodeau after the most successful season a twenty
five years. They'll be rooty for Brown to take the
team a little bit further in the playoffs and wimbled.
Then they'll wrap up the quarterfinals.

Speaker 9 (10:37):
This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
President Donald Trump appears to be holding firm now to
his new deadline for countries around the world to reach
trade deals with the US.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
August first, they pay, and everybody pays. Everybody has to pay.
And the incentive is that they have the right to
deal in the United States. If they don't want to,
they don't have to pay, and they don't have to deal.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Here.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I was the President speaking in a cabinet meeting heard
live on Bloomberg Radio this morning. We're joined by Bloomberg
News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Of course, Bill, just a
couple of days ago, the President said he wasn't one
hundred percent firm on the August first deadline. Now it
sounds like things may be firming up.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Good morning, Good morning, Nathan.
Speaker 14 (11:18):
Yeah, I mean it's basically a three week additional extension, right,
so a lot can happen in that time. I mean,
I think three weeks in the current universes is a
very long time for further negotiations and other deals to
be made. I mean, this all goes back to April. Now,
April second was Liberation Day. That was when tarifs were
(11:40):
coming into place or announced, and then it was kicked
to July ninth. Well, we're at July ninth, and now
it's August first. So the markets, I think yesterday we're
betting that maybe Donald Trump wouldn't hold too firm on
that deadline, and I think he woke up to that
news on Tuesday and wanted to squash it. But I
think we'll only know for sure when it's August first.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
On the other hand, we did see a pretty sharp
reaction in the copper market when the President said he
could float fifty percent duties on copper products entering the US.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
What could that mean for that market?
Speaker 14 (12:16):
Well, it's interesting because the President first talked about tariffs
on copper back in February, and ever since then, you've
seen traders directing more copper into the US into inventory,
really stockpiling that the US still needs I think about
forty percent of its copper demand to be imported, so
(12:38):
it's it's not going to be self sufficient for a
very long time. And I mean we're talking about you know,
everything from you know, car batteries to just basic industry
that needs needs copper to function. So there's going to
continue to be a dependence on imports for that for
probably the you know, several years ahead. So I think
(13:00):
I think that's a potential inflation early inflation indicator there
if we do hit that fifty percent tariff in August.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Now on top of the twenty five percent tariffs you've
already heard about for steal and.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Aluminum as well.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And then there's this talk of up to two hundred
percent on drug companies if they don't onshore into the
US in the next year or so.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
How serious to take that?
Speaker 14 (13:27):
Yeah, I mean it's something pharmaceuticals has been a focus
for this president. He wants to see more of the
pharma industry back inside the United States. Two hundred percent
would be huge, of course, if you know, particularly if
it's the you know, the drug that you need for
your particular illness, that would be a huge cost. So
(13:48):
he did, he did put out there the idea that
it could take a year, a year and a half
or so before that would go into effect, he'd want
to see the pharma companies building their production facilities in
the US shifting production over here.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
So there's a little longer of a.
Speaker 14 (14:05):
Runway on that kind of a change, but it would
certainly be a major disruption in the market.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I mean, are those the kind of things though that
could affect the ongoing country by country trade negotiations that
are happening. When you think about the pharmaceutical industry in particular,
a lot of those companies are based in the European Union,
and there's supposed to be some kind of announcement about
the EU. Were thinking this week, still, isn't there.
Speaker 14 (14:28):
Yeah, the administration has said, you know, maybe within the
next two days we'd have some sort of a framework
deal with the EU. The EU, of course, was facing
up to a fifty percent tariff. What we know from
our reporting is that negotiators have really focused on some
key sectors that they want to get carveouts for. So
that would include things like aerospace with Airbus, it would
(14:49):
include German automakers like BMW and Mercedes who have factories
in the United States, And it would include things like
alcohol shipments on the EU. So it's that's you know,
that just gives you a taste. I think of the
number of exceptions that might be coming through when we
announce a deal, but there will be quite a few
(15:10):
products if it stays at the current levels that get
hit with a fifty percent tariff.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So in our last thirty seconds bill, what should we
be looking for in the next few days here? I
think we heard the President say of several countries could
get letters like we've seen this week.
Speaker 14 (15:24):
Later on this morning, Yeah, they said up to a
dozen more countries could be getting letters. I think you
know you mentioned the EU. I think we're also looking
to see what the status is with India. That has
been a priority for the administration, and that's one that
we haven't heard a lot about. So that's that's the
next one on my list.
