Lo que parecía solo una amenaza más del presidente Trump, ahora se perfila como una realidad comercial que podría sacudir la economía de Brasil y tensar aún más el orden internacional. La Casa Blanca confirmó que entrarán en vigor aranceles del 50 % a productos brasileños. ¿Qué gana Trump con esto? Si hoy es Brasil, ¿mañana podría ser México? JP Spinetto, columnista de asuntos latinoamericanos en Bloomberg Opinion, nos habla al respecto.

The US and Japan this week reached what President Donald Trump called the largest trade deal in history after Tokyo pledged to set up a $550 billion fund for investment into the US, details of which remain obscure. The lack of clarity about how the fund will work adds to questions about the viability of the agreement, which imposes 15% tariffs on Japanese cars and other goods. While the start date and other basic elements are still unknown, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned this week that the US would monitor implementation and bump the rate up to 25% if Trump isn't satisfied. In his latest column, Bloomberg Opinion's Gearoid Reidy writes that after three months, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba finally has his trade deal. Gearoid joins us to explain why it may be Ishiba's final act. Plus - the S&P 500 inched to a new record Thursday - its 10th in 19 days - driven by tech gains that papered over a broader weakness as most stocks in the benchmark dropped. The S&P 500 has surged 28% from its April lows as investors grew optimistic that President Donald Trump's tariff war won't hurt the economy and corporate earnings as initially feared. Meantime, South Korea's trade ministry said Friday that Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reaffirmed their will to reach a mutually beneficial trade agreement before August 1st deadline. For more on the economic impact of ongoing negotiations, we heard from Janet Henry, Global Chief Economist at HSBC.

Plus - in her latest column, Bloomberg Opinion's Karishma Vaswani says hearsay about the inner workings of the Politburo has a long tradition of being wholly inaccurate. With that, intrigue over Chinese President Xi Jinping's future is no less than speculative, and the result of a succession crisis of his own making. She joins us to dissect the coded signals coming out of Beijing, and why the obsession with Xi's fate reflects the West's blind spots about Chinese politics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Jul 22, 2025) Police say a Canadian man murdered his nine-year-old daughter while vacationing in the U.S.; during a town hall in Plattsburgh over the weekend, Democratic Rep.

Asian stocks are poised for a cautious open as investors weighed the buoyant mood on Wall Street with lingering concerns over the global impact of President Donald Trump's tariff agenda. Equity-index futures pointed to a decline in Tokyo as Trump threatened to impose a fresh tariff level on Japan. Contracts for the S&P 500 edged down 0.1% after the index notched its best quarter since December 2023 on Monday, with technology shares leading. Wall Street's bulls drove stocks to all-time highs at the end of a solid quarter amid hopes the US is moving closer to reaching concrete deals with its top trading partners.

The Author Events Series presents  Elie Mystal  | Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America  REGISTER In Conversation with Cherri Gregg In Bad Law, the New York Times bestselling author of Allow Me To Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution brings his trademark legal acumen and passionate snark to a brilliant takedown of ten of what he considers the most egregiously awful laws on the books today. These are pieces of legislation that are making life worse rather than better for Americans, and that, he argues with trenchant wit and biting humor, should be repealed completely. On topics ranging from abortion and immigration to voting rights and religious freedom, we have chosen rules to live by that do not reflect the will of most of the people. With respect to our decision to make a law that effectively grants immunity to gun manufacturers, for example, Mystal writes, ''We live in the most violent, wealthy country on earth not in spite of the law; we live in a first-person-shooter video game because of the law.'' But, as the man Samantha Bee calls ''irrepressible and righteously indignant'' and Matt Levine of Bloomberg Opinion calls ''the funniest lawyer in America,'' points out, these laws do not come to us from on high; we write them, and we can and should unwrite them. In a marvelous and original takedown spanning all the hot-button topics in the country today, one of our most brilliant legal thinkers points the way to a saner tomorrow most brilliant legal thinkers points the way to a saner tomorrow.

John Authers, senior editor for markets, Bloomberg Opinion columnist, and author of the Points of Return newsletter joins Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek to make sense of the market reaction to the US involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict. Note: We recorded this conversation earlier today, before Iran’s retaliatory strikes at a US air base in Qatar. Traders drove stocks higher as oil tumbled, with the strikes seen as limited and unable to trigger a broader economic fallout.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conventional wisdom used to be that war in the Middle East would send oil prices soaring. Not anymore.On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg Opinion’s Javier Blas and host Sarah Holder talk about the emergence of the US as the world’s largest oil producer — and how that new power dynamic is playing out in the war in Iran.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oil climbed and most stocks in Asia followed losses on Wall Street as concerns mounted that an escalation of tensions in the Middle East will trigger a more direct US involvement. West Texas Intermediate crude rose as much as 1.1% in early trading Wednesday after settling at the highest in almost five months the previous day. US equity futures slipped, as did Australia’s benchmark index and Hong Kong futures.Staying with geopolitics, The White House's review of the Aukus pact — a security arrangement between the US, UK and Australia — is rattling one of Washington’s closest alliances, and playing right into China’s hands. It sends yet another signal that America First might just mean everyone else alone. First announced by former President Joe Biden in 2021, the multibillion-dollar deal commits Washington and London to help Canberra develop a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines over a 30-year period. It was designed to help counter Beijing’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific. For more, we turn to Bloomberg Opinion columnist Karishma Vaswani. Plus - Federal Reserve officials are widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged for a fourth straight meeting on Wednesday, reiterating they want more clarity on the economic impact of a wide array of government policy changes before adjusting borrowing costs. Policymakers have warned President Donald Trump’s tariffs could boost inflation and unemployment, but so far, steady hiring and cooling inflation have allowed Fed officials to keep rates unchanged this year. We speak to Bill Campbell, Global Bond Portfolio Manager at DoubleLine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tesla shares slumped 14% on Thursday as President Donald Trump proposed ending Elon Musk's government contracts and subsidies after his onetime adviser attacked the Republican's tax-policy bill. Musk also said he would end the use of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and called for Trump's impeachment. The Tesla move weighed on US benchmarks Thursday that had earlier risen as Trump and China's President Xi Jinping agreed to further trade talks. Trump said talks would begin shortly at a location to be determined as the countries aimed to resolve disputes over tariffs and rare earth minerals. We take a look at how markets are digesting the headlines with Robert Schein, Chief Investment Officer at Blanke Schein Wealth Management.Plus - during President Trump's first term, he famously toured a Texas factory and claimed credit for bringing Apple Inc's production back to America. Except the plant had been running long before he took office. And it was an "unmitigated fiasco." Workers in China had to be flown in to help fix the mounting manufacturing issues encountered in the US heartland. We're joined by Bloomberg Opinion's Catherine Thorbecke, for a look whether a China exit is plausible for the iPhone maker amid tariff threats from Washington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Speaking exclusively to Bloomberg, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent played down the recent selloff in the bond market, rejecting speculation that foreign nations were dumping their holdings of US Treasuries. In her latest column, Bloomberg Opinion's Shuli Ren writes China is done retaliating against President Donald Trump's exorbitant tariffs, calling the administration's actions a "joke" that it no longer considers worthy of matching. The question now is whether President Xi Jinping will find a more potent weapon to strike back - such as its $760 billion worth of Treasury securities. We get her reaction to Bessent's comments.

Stocks sank and Treasuries sold off in Asia Wednesday morning, as financial markets were hit by fresh turmoil after US President Donald Trump ratcheted up the pressure on China and pledged to push ahead with sweeping global tariffs.

She joins the program to discuss her latest column. Plus - The S&P 500 fell 1.6% as trade threats between the US and China knocked down stocks, leaving it on the brink of a bear market.

We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we're living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might, and potential military power; it touches all four of the great oceans. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal―which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped, and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent. Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers―from Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II to the Soviet Union―have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world's strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America's rivalries with China, Russia, and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure. In The Eurasian Century: Hot Wars, Cold Wars, and the Making of the Modern World (W. W. Norton & Company, 2025) Hal Brands, a renowned expert on global affairs, argues that a better understanding of Eurasia's strategic geography can illuminate the contours of rivalry and conflict in today's world. The Eurasian Century explains how revolutions in technology and warfare, and the rise of toxic ideologies of conquest, made Eurasia the center of twentieth-century geopolitics―with pressing implications for the struggles that will define the twenty-first. Hal Brands, coauthor of Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China, is the Henry Kissinger Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland. Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we're living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might, and potential military power; it touches all four of the great oceans. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal―which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped, and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent. Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers―from Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II to the Soviet Union―have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world's strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America's rivalries with China, Russia, and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure.

For those who haven’t been following Elon Musk’s voluminous and combative X posts about the UK—good for you. It’s a confusing situation where Musk backed and then renounced fellow right-winger Nigel Farage, and then tried to taint Prime Minister Keir Starmer with a “scandal” tied to when he was a prosecutor. Starmer, for his part, said “a line has been crossed” with Musk’s messaging. Musk then made an X poll asking people, essentially, if it was time for a coup in the UK. David discusses this with Bloomberg Opinion columnist Marc Champion, Musk reporter Dana Hull and UK government reporter Alex Wickham. Then, Kurt Wagner and Max Chafkin join Hull to talk about changes at X. Musk seems to have changed the platform’s policy to privilege posts that are “positive” in nature. The timing of this has the panel wondering if he plans on boosting people who are saying nice things about, say, how his new boss is doing come Jan. 20. Finally, “Adrian Dittman.” It’s been a longstanding rumor that this person is actually Musk—his voice sounds like Musk’s in various recordings and he posts often about Musk in glowing terms. A recent story seemed to debunk that rumor, but the internet doesn’t seem ready to let go.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
