Is the Federal Reserve secretly freaking about about Trump's tariffs?

The Federal Reserve has been quietly observing the economic landscape, and some experts believe they're secretly freaking out about the impact of tariffs on the US economy. But you wouldn't know if you were to closely study Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Another example of Trump's flip-flopping began on Friday when he said he was open to lowering the tariffs he placed on China. This weekend, US and Chinese officials met in Switzerland. And lo and behold, there is news. It's not great, but it's a step in the right direction.

According to the BBC, Global stocks are up after China and the U.S. agreed to slash tariffs by 115 per cent. The deal is temporary, and the U.S. Tariff of 30 percent is still HIGH. This is from the BBC "After months of tit-for-tat tariff measures, the US and China have announced a major reduction in levies against each other, albeit temporarily. It marks a de-escalation of the ongoing trade war between the two countries. Here's what we've learned so far today: Both sides are set to slash tariffs by 115% - with US tariffs on Chinese products falling to 30% and China's reciprocal tariffs on the US falling to 10% The changes will take effect on Wednesday and continue for 90 days - allowing time for both sides to ease tensions through negotiations.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
