German business leader says Trump tariff policy leading to crisis
US President Donald Trump's back-and-forth tariff policies are leading to a global crisis, Christian Kullmann, chief executive of Evonik, Germany's second largest chemicals company, has said. "The permanent threatening of new tariffs is taking us to the edge of a global economic crisis," Kullmann told Germany's Handelsblatt business daily in remarks published on Sunday. Business uncertainty in Europe would persist even in the event of agreement in the current conflict over tariffs between the United States and the European Union, Kullmann predicted. "Uncertainty and fear of what this administration could do next is rife all over the world," he told the newspaper. How long any deal between the EU and US would last was uncertain, Kullmann said. "I'm sure that US politics will remain changeable and that uncertainty for the global economy will increase further," he added. Trump has announced a tariff of 30% on imports from the EU effective on August 1. Talks are under way to prevent this, with Brussels having prepared countermeasures in case no negotiated solutions can be found. Kullmann said that EU businesses and politicians should show strength. Chancellor Friedrich Merz is meeting German business leaders for an investment summit in Berlin on Monday with a view to boosting investment in Germany after three years of stagnating growth. According to informed sources, some 30 company heads will be present, but Kullmann is not among them.

Atlanta Barbers Set to Open a Hidden Speakeasy at Ponce City Market
Henna Bakshi is the Regional Editor, South at Eater and an award-winning food and wine journalist with a WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) Level 3 degree. She oversees coverage in Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, the Carolinas, and Nashville. The duo behind one of Atlanta's popular barbershops, the Commodore, is getting into the cocktail game. They're opening a new speakeasy and listening room called La Cueva ('the cave' in Spanish) on the second floor of Ponce City Market late this year. A new location of the Commodore will be next door, but don't expect a haircut with your martini. 'This is our first venture into food and bev.,' says Robert Hopper, founder of the Commodore and co-founder of La Cueva. He says his business partner, Peter Terrones, one of the Commodore's barbers, came up with the idea a few years ago. 'Peter asked, 'What do you think about doing a speakeasy?' At first, I didn't want to do it. Then we found this space at Ponce City Market we were looking at for the barbershop — it had a kitchen, so it just clicked.' Looking at the rendering, you can almost hear the uhn-tiss-uhn-tiss-uhn-tiss lo-fi beats reverberating through the space. It depicts curvaceous walls and ceiling design with dim, warm lighting, and plush seating at individual tables and the bar. Atlanta firm Maison Maluee designed the 2,700-square-foot space, which includes 75 seats and a small stage for DJs. Directly on the other side of the bar will be a new Commodore barbershop location. A window porthole at the entrance of the bar will allow diners to peek into the barbershop, but not vice versa. Thrilla in Manilla cocktail at La Cueva. La Cueva The bar will feature a large selection of mezcal, offering creative cocktails, wine, and beer, alongside shareable Mexican fare. Hopper says his passion for trappist beers will be evident on the menu, as well as nods to his favorite cocktail, a mojito. Luis Damian, of lauded restaurants Oaxaca in Chamblee, El Valle in Midtown, and Casa Balam, a 2025 James Beard Award Semifinalist for Best New Restaurant, in Decatur, is the consulting chef here. The menu will include Mexican botanas (snacks) like octopus tostada, halibut ceviche, and wrapped chicken mole, alongside larger dinner dishes. Damian has his hands full — he is also set to open the second location of El Valle in Brookhaven this August. Octopus tostada by consulting chef Luis Damian. La Cueva Pollo envuelto mole (chicken wrapped in mole) is one of the small plates at La Cueva. La Cueva Hopper, formerly a guitarist in a Christian alternative band and a youth pastor, speaks of a higher calling and building genuine relationships with his customers over the nearly ten years he has owned his barbershops. He says building these relationships led to some of his hair clients investing capital in the bar; he hopes to have reserved bar seats for Commodore clients at all times when the space opens. The bar comes on the heels of Boom Boom Bao, Lime Tiger, and Uwu Asian Dessert Co. opening at Market East at PCM in June, and ice cream chain Van Leeuwen debuting in Georgia this month. La Cueva will be open six days a week in the evenings, with live performances like jazz, open mic nights, DJ sets, and comedy shows. On resurrecting his own guitar, Hopper laughs and says, 'Absolutely not. I do not want to drive the guests away.'

'The Appetite... Is Extremely Low:' Koenigsegg Says No One Wants Electric Hypercars
Christian von Koenigsegg joins a chorus of automotive CEOs skeptical of electric hypercars. Rimac CEO Mate Rimac raised the issue last year when he noticed a decline in demand for the Nevera , and just recently, Corvette boss Tony Roma said an electric supercar from Chevy won't happen anytime soon . In an interview with Top Gear , Koenigsegg said: "The appetite in the market for this level of car, fully electric, is extremely low." He added that "an electric vehicle is a bit more of a robot," highlighting one of the key challenges automakers are facing as they develop electric vehicles—mimicking the feeling of a combustion-powered car so many people enjoy. "You want the throbbing, the pumping, the heat, the sounds, the shifts, all of these aspects that just make it come alive," Koenigsegg told the publication, even though he loves the responsiveness and smoothness of electric vehicles. Without a combustion engine, that presence and personality are gone. Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Photo by: Koenigsegg But that's not something he's worried about right now. He told Top Gear that the company is completely sold out of products, so your next hope to own a Koenigsegg is when it launches a new model in 12 to 18 months. That's when Koenigsegg says the company will reopen the order books, and we're certain it won't be electric. It's not alone in evaluating EVs with a doubtful eye. Over the past month, several mainstream luxury automakers have reversed course on their electrification plans as demand falters. Some are admitting their plans have outright failed , while others are eager to continue producing gasoline engines . Either way, it looks like EV hypercars won't pose a threat anytime soon.
