Trump said the latest tariffs would come into effect on 2 April
Trump announces new auto tariffs in a major trade war escalation
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced 25% tariffs on all cars shipped to the United States, a significant escalation in a global trade war.The tariffs, set to take effect on April 3 at 12:01 am ET, are aimed at expanding America’s auto manufacturing prowess. For decades, because of a free trade agreement, automakers have treated Canada, Mexico and the United States as one big country, with no tariffs among them. Although the United States is home to a significant automaking industry, Trump wants to grow it.“Frankly, friend has been oftentimes much worse than foe. And what we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday before signing an executive proclamation in the Oval Office....

Trump signs order aimed at overhauling US elections
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to overhaul US federal elections, including by requiring voters to show proof of citizenship and limiting when states can receive mail-in ballots.Experts warn the move could disenfranchise millions of Americans who do not have easy access to a passport or other legal documents proving they have the right to vote.It is unclear how enforceable the order is, given US states have wide legal leeway to determine how they run their elections. It is expected to be challenged in court.The order, titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections", was signed by Trump on Tuesday at the White House."Election fraud. You've heard the term. We're going to end it, hopefully. At least...

The leak happened despite a crackdown on sensitive information leaks
Trump's national security team's chat app leak stuns Washington
WASHINGTON — There are few US presidential actions more sensitive, more fraught with peril, than when and where to use American military force.If such information were obtained by American adversaries in advance, it could put lives – and national foreign policy objectives — at risk.Fortunately for the Trump administration, a group chat with information about an impending US strike in Yemen among senior national security officials on the encrypted chat app Signal did not fall into the wrong hands.Unfortunately for the Trump administration, the message thread was observed by an influential political journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg.The Atlantic Magazine editor-in-chief, in an article posted on Monday on his publication's website, says he appears to have been inadvertently added to the...

US cuts to HIV aid will cost millions of lives  — UNAids chief
GENEVA — US funding cuts will lead to an additional 2,000 new HIV infections each day and over six million further deaths over the next four years, the UNAids chief has warned.It would mark a stark reversal in the global fight against HIV, which has seen the number of deaths from the disease decrease from more than two million in 2004 to 600,000 in 2023, the most recent year for which figures are available.UNAids Executive Director Winnie Byanyima said the US government's decision to pause foreign aid — which included funding for HIV programs — was already having devastating consequences.She called on the US to reverse the cuts immediately, warning women and girls were being hit particularly hard.US President Donald Trump announced the pause on foreign aid, for an initial 90...

US will put 25% tariff on countries that buy Venezuelan oil
WASHINGTON — In a Truth Social post, Trump said Venezuela has been "very hostile" to the US and countries purchasing oil from it will be forced to pay the tariff on all their trade to the US starting April 2.The tariffs would most likely add to the taxes facing China, which in 2023 bought 68% of the oil exported by Venezuela, according to a 2024 analysis by the US Energy Information Administration. Spain, India, Russia, Singapore and Vietnam are also among the countries receiving oil from Venezuela, the report shows.But even the United States — despite its sanctions against Venezuela — buys oil from that country. In January, the United States imported 8.6 million barrels of oil from Venezuela, according to the Census Bureau, out of roughly 202 million barrels imported that...
