Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says pharma tariffs could go to 250%, threatens EU if it fails on investment pledge
Yahoo2 hours ago
President Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports "within the next week or so," as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs.
"We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it's going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview.
Trump also threatened the European Union with increased tariffs if it failed to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US.
Meanwhile, the world is awaiting Trump's country-specific duties and jockeying ahead of their implementation. India has called out Trump after he threatened to "substantially raise" tariffs on Indian exports over its Russian oil purchases, slamming the move as unjustified. India said it would protect its interest and accused the US of a double standard on trade with Russia.
Trump has signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while setting rates from 10% to 40% on dozens of partners. Those duties are set to come into full effect this week.
Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has more details on the latest orders. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below:
In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline:
Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs.
The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports, Trump said.
Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1.
The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29.
Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ).
The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

President Trump's sweeping tariffs are set to come into full effect later this week. Last week, Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from India, plus an additional import tax because of the country's purchasing of Russian oil.

Trump presses India, China to halt Russian oil buys as trade talks roll on
The US and China are making progress on a trade deal, but a major sticking point remains: Washington wants Beijing to stop buying oil from Iran and Russia. China has pushed back, saying it will secure energy based on its own national interests.
'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff.
'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said.
In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected pressure from President Trump, encouraging people to buy local goods. India has not told its oil refiners to stop purchasing Russian oil, and those decisions remain up to each company.
'The world economy is going through many apprehensions — there is an atmosphere of instability,' Modi said at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. 'Now, whatever we buy, there should be only one scale: we will buy those things which have been made by the sweat of an Indian.'

Trump threatens EU with increased tariffs if it doesn't meet investment pledge
President Trump threatened to hike tariffs on the European Union back to 35% if the bloc fails to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US.
"A couple of countries came [and said], 'How come the EU is paying less than us?' And I said well, because they gave me $600 billion," Trump said during a CNBC interview.
"And that's a gift, that's not like, you know, a loan," he said, claiming that the terms allow the US to direct where the EU invests.

Trump says he will 'substantially' raise tariffs on India
President Trump said on Monday he will "substantially" raise tariffs on India. Stocks still remained in rally mode following Friday's sell-off.
"India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits," wrote Trump on Monday morning.
"They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he added.
President Trump's sweeping tariffs are set to come into full effect later this week. Last week, Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from India, plus an additional import tax because of the country's purchasing of Russian oil.

Swiss gold trading takes spotlight in trade talks with Trump
President Trump's tariffs on Switzerland were prompted by the country being the world's largest hub for gold refining. Gold flows in from places like South America, Africa and gets processed in Switzerland and then exported to countries like the US. This gold trade makes Switzerland's exports to the US look large and the refiners don't get to keep most of the profits.

Trump presses India, China to halt Russian oil buys as trade talks roll on
The US and China are making progress on a trade deal, but a major sticking point remains: Washington wants Beijing to stop buying oil from Iran and Russia. China has pushed back, saying it will secure energy based on its own national interests.
'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff.
'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said.
In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected pressure from President Trump, encouraging people to buy local goods. India has not told its oil refiners to stop purchasing Russian oil, and those decisions remain up to each company.
'The world economy is going through many apprehensions — there is an atmosphere of instability,' Modi said at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. 'Now, whatever we buy, there should be only one scale: we will buy those things which have been made by the sweat of an Indian.'

"What The F**ck": People Are Losing Their Minds Over This Really, Really Bizarre AI Interview With A Dead Teenager From The Parkland Shooting
Former CNN host Jim Acosta faced backlash on Monday after sharing what he called a 'one-of-a-kind interview' with an AI version of Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, a bot created by his parents to honor their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. The interview — shared to Acosta's SubStack page — depicts Oliver, one of 17 who died in the 2018 massacre, remarking on the cause of death and stressing why it's 'important' to talk about gun violence in schools. The AI — when asked for its 'solution' to gun violence — emphasized a need for a mix of stronger gun-control laws, mental health support and community engagement. Related: The bot of Oliver proceeded to speak in a noticeably higher tone before discussing the late teen's interests in the Miami Heat and Star Wars. Acosta — who declared that the technology left him 'speechless' — called the conversation 'so insightful,' telling the late teen's father, Manuel Oliver, that it felt like the first time he really got to know his son. 'I felt like I was communicating with him, which is just so remarkable,' Acosta said. 'People say, 'Well, AI, you know, it could be bad, it could cause all these destructive things.' This is an example of how it might actually do some good, it might help some people who have suffered tremendous losses like your family have a way to hold on to who this person was, which I think is a beautiful thing.' @JimAcosta Related: Manuel Oliver and his wife, Patricia Oliver — co-founders of the gun-control advocacy group Change the Ref — have been involved in other projects that demand action against gun violence, including a school shooting video game, a play and a site that uses AI to recreate victims' voices for calls to Congress. Manuel Oliver — in a video shared to X, formerly Twitter — acknowledged that the AI was his and his wife's idea, adding that Acosta shouldn't be blamed for 'what he was able to do' in the 'interview.' 'If the problem that you have is with the AI, then you have the wrong problem,' he said. 'The real problem is that my son was shot eight years ago. So if you believe that that is not the problem, you are part of the problem.' Related: While Acosta restricted those who could reply to his posts on X, it wasn't the same case on his BlueSky account, where a number of critics were stunned by the AI move. 'Hey Jim. Quick question. What the fuck is wrong with you,' replied one user. And, naturally, users on X had a lot to say regardless. Check out what users said on Bluesky and X below.

HSBC Reiterates Buy on Amazon (AMZN), $256 PT
Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the . On August 4, HSBC analyst Paul Rossington reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $256.00 price target. Amazon has had a strong second quarter due to its growth in North America and International divisions. AWS growth was not as hoped, highlighting the need to spend more money to allow AI and cloud growth which are currently at early stages. 'While AWS growth disappointed vs Microsoft's 4QFY25 result, both updates outline the increased investment required to support growth at what remains the early stages of cloud and AI cycles, for which AMZN, with a leading share of the cloud market, looks well placed." christian-wiediger-rymh7EZPqRs-unsplash "As a result, 2Q25 capex of USD32.2bn was 25% higher than consensus of USD25.6bn. We believe this should now be considered the quarterly run-rate going forward. Cash & cash equivalents of USD61.5bn were broadly in line after taking higher capex into account.' Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is an American technology company offering e-commerce, cloud computing, and other services, including digital streaming and artificial intelligence solutions. While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

What to Watch Ahead of Disney Q3 Earnings
Disney (NYSE:DIS) reports third-quarter results for fiscal 2025 before the market opens on August 6. Consensus estimates call for adjusted EPS of approximately $1.45 on revenue of $23.7 billion, implying modest 2% top-line growth YoY. The stock is up 4% year-to-date and trades roughly 7% below its 52-week high of $124.70. Investor attention will focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) margins and subscriber momentum. In Q2, Disney's DTC segment generated $336 million in operating income, up from $47 million a year earlier and added 1.4 million Disney+ subscribers. Subscriber stability and continued margin expansion will be key focus areas, as investors assess whether Disney's cost discipline is translating into lasting DTC profitability. The Experiences segment (theme parks and cruises) continues to perform well. Q2 experiences operating income rose 8% YoY to $2.5 billion, with investors assessing whether gating capacity or rising costs could pressure margins in Q3. Investors may also listen for commentary on recent releases such as Snow White and Fantastic Four, as sentiment around Disney's film strategy has been mixed and studio margins remain under pressure. With forward guidance unchanged ($5.75 adjusted EPS full year) and streaming margins expected to contribute more in H2, Disney's Q3 commentary will be critical. Management will need to demonstrate both streaming discipline and theme park profitability to support the current valuation. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
