Tariff theme
Which Ukrainian will be the first to suggest buying advertising time in American conservative channels to sell the stimulating effect on Tesla sales that a high world market price of oil entails?
Donald Trump announces tariff packages. The tariff package is described as the most aggressive in modern times.
The U.S. will also impose tariffs of 25 percent on all foreign-built vehicles, something Trump previously announced. Tariffs on auto parts will be introduced on May 3. The White House has said that the tariffs will be imposed immediately.
Wednesday has been dubbed "Liberation Day," a day that, according to Trump, will be remembered as the day when "America's industry was reborn and the day America's destiny was reconquered." "Jobs and factories will come back and there will be lower prices for consumers," he says. Watch the feature on SVT News.
Half the Senate open to punishing Russia. 50 U.S. senators want to see expanded sanctions against Russia if the country does not honestly engage in the negotiations for peace in Ukraine, they write in a joint statement.
In that case, they want to introduce a 500 percent tariff on all imports from countries that buy Russian products, such as oil and gas.
"The dominant view in the Senate is that Russia is the aggressor and that this terrible war and Putin's aggression must end now and be deterred in the future," they write.
"We share President Trump's frustration with Russia in bringing about a ceasefire." See the article on SVT Nyheter.
