The Trump administration has put more than 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday as part of a restructuring under interim national security adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to two US officials and another source familiar with the matter.

“For a business that is contemplating moving production to the US, 30% tariffs might make it cost effective. But if the factory takes a couple years to build and another few to recoup the investment, the CEO needs to be convinced tariffs would will be in place at 30% or higher for the next five years or longer. The newsflow since April 2 suggests no such certainty.”

“This calls into question whether investors can trust that any pauses announced by the Administration are actually solid, which only further muddies the landscape,” said Ross Mayfield at Baird. “Expect volatility to persist.” Scott Ladner at Horizon Investments said the market reaction to Trump’s threat of 50% tariffs on the EU will likely be more “measured” than past tariff announcements because “the playbook now involves a high likelihood of Trump caving at some point.”

Trump’s new threat of tariffs on the EU was a sharp reminder that policy uncertainty remains. David Doyle, head of economics at Macquarie, said in a recent note that it is not “all-clear” on the trade war front, and tariffs remain a “substantial headwind” to the US economy. “Today’s early market action does not approve of a threat directed at another corporate, and the idea of a 50% EU tariff rate,” analysts at Citi said in a Friday note. “This is sure giving us déjà vu.”

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, says it has saved $160 billion through its push to root out wasteful or fraudulent government spending. But that effort may also have come at a cost for taxpayers, with a new estimate from a nonpartisan research and advocacy group estimating that DOGE's actions will cost $135 billion this fiscal year.

Les villes de Lausanne et Genève contribuent à la pression sur le Conseil fédéral à propos de la situation à Gaza
«Je ressens de la colère, de la déception envers le Conseil fédéral. La situation à Gaza est catastrophique. Nous avons souhaité prendre la parole dans le prolongement de nos engagements. C’est aussi une réponse à une demande de nos élus, comme de la population: nous avons un devoir moral face à la tragédie en train de se dérouler à Gaza» ~ Junod

Die Regierung entzog Harvard die Zulassung für das Student and Exchange Visitor Program, das der Hochschule die Möglichkeit gibt, internationale Studenten zu unterstützen, damit sie ihr Visum erhalten und in den USA studieren können. Damit Bildungseinrichtungen in den USA internationale Studierende aufnehmen dürfen, benötigen sie eine spezielle Zertifizierung im Rahmen eines Bundesprogramms, das vom Heimatschutzministerium verwaltet wird.

Dogma 25 only retains one of the original manifesto’s self-imposed rules: that any film that is part of the movement must be “shot where the narrative takes place”.
The new movement’s 10 rules commit its followers to working from a script that “must be original and handwritten by the director”, to only accept funding “with no content-altering conditions attached”, and to have “no more than 10 people behind the camera”.

This movie, visually and dramatically superb in every way, moves with unhurried confidence across the screen, pausing to savour every bizarre bit of comedy or erotic byway, or note of pathos, on its circuitous path to the violent finale, including an amazing cameo for Udo Kier as a troubled tailor. The Secret Agent doesn’t have the imperatives of a conventional thriller and expecting these will cause impatience. It’s more novelistic in its way.
