May consider dividends to citizens: Trump on tariff revenue disbursal plans
The day the 25 per cent US tariffs on Indian imports came into effect, President Donald Trump said he might consider extending the "dividends" earned through the levies imposed on America's trade partners to its citizens, news agency Reuters reported on the Trump tariff tirade, while most European Union member countries and the UK were hit with 15 per cent levies, Japan with 10 per cent, and South Korea with just 5 per cent, India saw a 25 per cent blanket rate imposed on its products imported by the US. The US cited exponentially high tariffs by India on American products behind its Trump imposed a 35 per cent duty on many goods from Canada, 50 per cent on Brazil, 39 per cent on Switzerland and 20 per cent on Taiwan. Notably, Trump has signed a new executive order that imposes fresh import tariffs on goods from 69 countries and the European Union, which will come into effect on August per the order, Syria tops the list of highest tariffs at 41 per cent, followed by Laos and Myanmar at 40 per cent, and Iraq and Serbia at 35 per cent. Other countries such as Libya and Algeria will now face a 30 per cent China, against whom Trump once ordered tariffs as high as a whopping 145 per cent, is still negotiating with the US, with American officials saying that they are looking at an imminent trade deal. "But it is not 100 per cent done," US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC move is part of Trump's push for what he describes as more "fair and reciprocal" trade relationships. The White House said that some countries had failed to meet US expectations during trade talks, leading to these new Trump's tariff move and the deadline, global stock markets witnessed a slump as investors panicked, fearing a global supply chain disruption and the outcome of their talks with who had grown accustomed to Trump's frequent trade threats may now be facing a reality check, as broad tariffs on numerous countries have taken effect just as the deadline to negotiate trade agreements with the US passed without resolution.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Trump tells US Federal Reserve board to take full control of central bank from Fed chair Powell
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Friday called for the Federal Reserve's board of governors to usurp the power of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, criticizing the head of the US central bank for not cutting short-term interest rates. Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump called Powell 'stubborn." The Fed chair has been subjected to vicious verbal attacks by the Republican president over several months. The Fed has the responsibility of stabilizing prices and maximizing employment. Powell has held its benchmark rate for overnight loans constant this year, saying that Fed officials needed to see what impact Trump's massive tariffs had on inflation. If Powell doesn't 'substantially' lower rates, Trump posted, 'THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!' Two of the seven Fed governors, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, issued statements Friday saying they see the tariffs as having a one-time impact on prices and the job market as most likely softening. As a result, the two dissented at the Fed meeting on Wednesday and pushed for slight rate cuts relative to what Trump was seeking. Even though Trump, who nominated Waller and Bowman, has claimed the US economy is booming, he welcomed their arguments and what he called their strong dissents. After the Fed announced later Friday that governor Adriana Kugler will step down next week, Trump said Powell should follow her lead and leave, too. 'She knew he was doing the wrong thing on Interest Rates. He should resign, also!' Trump said on social media. Friday's jobs report showed a rapidly decelerating economy, as just 73,000 jobs were added in July and downward revisions brought down the June and May totals to 14,000 and 19,000, respectively. Trump sees the rate cuts as leading to stronger growth and lower debt servicing costs for the federal government and homebuyers. The president argues there is virtually no inflation, even though the Fed's preferred measure is running at an annual rate of 2.6%, slightly higher than the Fed's 2% target. Trump has called for slashing the Fed's benchmark rate by 3 percentage points, bringing it down dramatically from its current average of 4.33%. The risk is that a rate cut that large could cause more money to come into the economy than can be absorbed, possibly causing inflation to accelerate. The Supreme Court suggested in a May ruling that Trump could not remove Powell for policy disagreements. This led the White House to investigate whether the Fed chair could be fired for cause because of the cost overruns in the Fed's $2.5 billion renovation projects. Powell's term as chair ends in May 2026, at which point Trump can put his Senate-confirmed pick in the seat.
