Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news of more tariff threats, but markets are over that drama, shoving its impact to the background. If there is news on a US-EU deal, then that will likely change.First in the US, even though the benchmark 30 year home loan interest rate was little-changed, mortgage applications rose a sharpish +9.3% from the prior week, and that was a rise for a third week in a row, a relatively unusual streak. Both refinance and new home purchases had good gains this week.One reason they may be more active is that Americans are shunning international travel, kind of like in the pandemic emergency, perhaps fearful of the reception they will get in both Europe, South America and Asia. And the feeling is mutual. EU-US airfares are diving and services are being cut back. But Canada is now a hit, with other-than-the-US destinations much more popular, and Toronto especially is getting a surge. In the world of travel, the US is the only major market suffering declines in visitors.The US Federal reserve released the minutes of its June 19 (NZT) meeting. And that hinted at a developing divide among members between those who support the Trump view that the tariff-tax impact on inflation will be transitory, and those that think it will be 'persistent' and do long-term and lasting damage to American cost competitiveness. And that divergence affected their view of when to next cut rates. At this meeting at least those with the fear of embedded inflation won out and rates were left unchanged. But financial markets have priced in two more -25 bps rate cuts later this year.At least one of their number are in a broader Apprentice-style competition for Powell's job - Christopher Waller.There was another US Treasury bond auction overnight, for their 10 year maturity, and it was normally supported. It delivered an median yield of 4.31% compared to the 4.38% at the prior equivalent event a month ago.Across the Pacific, Japanese machine tool orders rose in June from May, maintaining their better level in a trend that started in March. And it was demand from domestic manufacturers that were especially strong. Even though in total they were just marginally less than a year ago, that year ago benchmark was unusually strong for a 2024 month.The heart of the northern hemisphere holiday season is underway and financial market activity is lighter than usual. This period will likely last until the end of August, culminating at the American Labor Day long weekend.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.34%, and down -8 bps from yesterday.And we should note that Nvidia has become the first company to command an equity valuation of US$4 tln.The price of gold will start today at US$3,308/oz, and up a mere +US$2 from yesterday.American oil prices are unchanged at US$68.50/bbl while the international Brent price is still just under US$70.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is still just on 60 USc, essentially unchanged from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -20 bps at 91.7 AUc. Against the euro we are holding at 51.2 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.5 and -10 bps lower from yesterday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$109,140 and virtually unchanged (+0.1%) from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just on +/-0.6%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Fergal O'Brien from the Economics and Policy Division with Ibec looks ahead to the potential impact of the EU/US trade talks on Irish businesses.

Shona Murray, Europe correspondent at Euronews, reports on Wednesday's deadline for a higher rate of US tariffs on goods from the European Union coming into force.

The 9 July deadline set by Donald Trump for a trade deal with the EU approaches without any sign of agreement on tariffs. Meanwhile Irish businesses struggle with the uncertainty. We were joined in studio by Denis O'Flynn, Director of Clonakilty Distillery and Vice Chair of Irish Whiskey Association and Enterprise Minister Peter Burke.

Tánaiste Simon Harris will tell Cabinet today that with just a week to go there is positive momentum in EU-US trade talks. But that 10pc baseline tariffs in some sectors will pose challenges for the Irish economy and businesses. All to discuss with Dan O'Brien, Chief Economist at the Institute of International and European affairs and Columnist with The Currency.

Interview with William Sheriff, Executive Chairman of enCore Energy Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/encore-energy-tsxv-eu-uranium-production-reset-sparks-opportunity-6905Recording date: 27th June 2025enCore Energy Corp (TSXV:EU), the leading in-situ recovery uranium producer in the United States, has achieved a dramatic operational transformation following a strategic reorganization implemented in March 2025. The company has nearly doubled its daily uranium extraction rates from below 2,000 pounds to over 3,700 pounds per day while simultaneously reducing production costs by 20%.The production surge resulted from accelerated drilling operations and expanded capacity. enCore increased its active drilling rigs from approximately 12-14 to 24 rigs while cutting well installation timelines in half. Executive Chairman William Sheriff emphasized that drilling efficiency represents "the single most important metric in terms of our production," as wells generate the uranium-bearing fluid processed at company facilities.Alongside production gains, enCore achieved significant cost optimization, reducing cash costs from approximately $40.80 per pound to $32 per pound in the latest quarter. Management targets further reductions to the low-$30s range, with an ultimate goal of $30 per pound. However, Sheriff acknowledged inherent economic limitations, noting the company has "a finite ability to go below a certain level" around the $30 range.The company strengthened its financial position through strategic asset sales, most notably divesting Anfield Energy shares for nearly $20 million during a cash-constrained period. This divestiture provided crucial liquidity to support operational expansion while maintaining contract fulfillment capabilities.enCore's growth trajectory continues with the Upper Spring Creek satellite facility, which recently received its radioactive materials license and began construction. The facility is expected to commence production by late 2025 or early 2026, significantly expanding the company's capacity beyond current Rosita and Alta Mesa plant operations.The operational improvements position enCore advantageously within the uranium sector, which faces supply constraints amid growing nuclear energy demand. As one of few active U.S. producers, the company benefits from domestic supply priorities while avoiding the capital intensity of greenfield development projects.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/encore-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Donald Trump's return to the White House has brought with it a seismic shift in transatlantic dynamics, with rising trade tensions, reduced diplomatic engagement and growing uncertainty over the future of Western alliances. So what has been the early impact of his second term on EU–US relations and how is Europe responding? With Trump's administration wasting no time in rekindling the “America First” doctrine, this time with fewer diplomatic niceties, tensions over trade, diplomacy and the long-term stability of the transatlantic alliance quickly arose. From the imposition of sweeping tariffs on EU goods – 20 percent across the board, covering all exports from France and other member states – to a reduction in support for Ukraine, Trump's early moves have sent a clear message: Washington's priorities have shifted – and not in Europe's favour.Brussels' response, while restrained, has been firm, and the sense that Europe can no longer rely fully on Washington is taking root.Trump's tariffs come into force, upending economic ties with EuropeRetreat, rather than reformOne of the most striking aspects of Trump's second term so far is his rapid dismantling of traditional US diplomatic structures.Former US diplomat William Jordan warns that the institutional capacity of American diplomacy is being hollowed out. “The notion of America First risks turning into America Alone,” he said.“Everything that's been happening since 20 January has largely demoralised and damaged the State Department."There has been an exodus of seasoned diplomats, alongside a wave of politically motivated "loyalty tests" handed out to charities, NGOs and United Nations agencies as part of the State Department's review of foreign aid – asking them to declare whether they have worked with "entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties, or any parties that espouses anti-American beliefs".European allies rally behind Ukraine after White House clashThe cumulative effect of this threat to the impartiality of America's foreign service, Jordan notes, is a profound erosion of trust – not just within US institutions but among global partners.“There are worries in the intelligence community that longstanding partners can no longer share sensitive information with the United States,” he added, raising concerns about the durability of intelligence alliances such as Five Eyes, comprising the US, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.Trump's decision to scale back overseas missions and USAID funding has also left vast vacuums of influence – particularly in Africa, where both China and Russia are stepping in to fill the void.“It's not just that it's being done – it's how it's being done. Brutally. Recklessly. Slashing and burning institutions that have taken decades to build,” Jordan told RFI.Amid this weakening of America's traditional soft power influence, however, Jordan also cautions that the country's soft power strategies have not always been effective, pointing to congressional inertia and overlapping funding mandates which have dulled strategic impact.Still, he maintains, a haphazard retreat does more harm than reform.A dressing-down in MunichEurope's discomfort was visible in February at the Munich Security Conference, where US Vice President JD Vance delivered a remarkable rebuke to European leaders, accusing them of wavering on democratic values.The message was harsh, and the delivery even more so – an unprecedented public dressing-down in a diplomatic forum. The reaction in Munich embodied Europe's growing unease.European fears mount at Munich conference as US signals shift on Ukraine“Certainly the language was something that you wouldn't expect,” Mairéad McGuinness, the former EU Commissioner for Financial Stability told RFI.“This is somebody coming to our house and telling us they don't like how we run it. It's not what you expect between friends and allies. Was it a surprise? Maybe not,” she added. “But it's not normal."The incident underscored an increasingly assertive US posture under Trump 2.0, and the deepening fissures within the Western alliance, reflected in the new administration's willingness to publicly challenge long-standing relationships.European allies rally behind Ukraine after White House clash'Confidence in the US is eroding'The EU has responded with a measured approach – "how the European Union tends to do its business,” according to McGuinness.“What is problematic is trying to understand exactly what the US side wants,” she continued. “We're hearing not just about tariffs, but also about food safety, financial regulation – areas where Europe leads globally."Rather than caving to pressure, the EU is showing signs of a more confident and coordinated strategic posture – in a similar vein to its response during the Covid-19 crisis and its rapid support for Ukraine following Russia's 2022 invasion.One consequence of these shifting diplomatic sands has been a rise in investment in European defence, following the US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine.EU Commission chief calls for defence 'surge' in address to EU parliamentWith EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announcing that, under the Rearm Europe plan announced by  on 6 March, EU member states can boost defence spending, European arms manufacturers are seizing the opportunity to compete against their US rivals.While not a wholesale pivot away from the US, it signals a broader awareness that over-reliance on any single partner carries risks.William Jordan put it bluntly: “Confidence in the US as a reliable partner is eroding, and not just in Europe.”For him, this moment could present an opportunity for Europe to build a more independent and robust security architecture – one less vulnerable to the whims of any one American president.

The European Commission on Wednesday revealed its highly anticipated penalties against US tech giants Apple and Meta. The decision comes at a time of spiralling trade tensions between the EU and the US government. The bloc is hoping to negotiate an end to this trade war, which could go far as threatening to hit US services such as Big Tech. But will the decision to fine Apple and Meta worsen the already deteriorating EU US relations?Today's Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Lauren Walker, with journalist Maia de la Baume.

PRESS REVIEW – Friday, 18 April: Papers in Italy discuss Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's visit to the White House. Next, US President Donald Trump escalates his battle with Harvard University and academia in the United States. Also, rising chocolate and egg prices put a dampener on Easter. Finally, the winner of the World Press Photo competition is a haunting photo of a young Palestinian boy. Giorgia Meloni's visit to the White House is on most of Italy's front pages. La Stampa reclaims the British "special relationship" on its front page. The right-leaning paper Libero praises the Italian leader for having successfully invited Trump to discussions with European leaders on the EU-US trade conflict. The left-leaning daily Il Fatto Quotidiano, meanwhile, is slightly more critical of the visit. The article talks about a slightly tense moment in the meeting where Trump and Meloni did not see eye-to-eye on Ukraine. In the US, The New York Times looks at the similarities between the two leaders and why they might get along. The Guardian is also focusing on the relationship between Meloni and Trump, suggesting that they speak the same language. It says Meloni has been labelled the Trump whisperer, "deemed capable of awakening the concealed angels of his nature".In the US, the arm wrestling between Harvard and the Trump administration continues. The Associated Press brings us news that Trump has now threatened to block the university from enrolling international students, and has called to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status. Newsweek had an opinion piece arguing that Trump's financial assault on Harvard demonstrates a fundamental disregard for constitutional law. Back in France, the US president's offensive on Harvard and universities is the front page of Libération, which says that more than six universities could be the target of sanctions if they do not comply with reforms. The Guardian says that amid the crackdown on research and academia in the US, the French University of Aix-Marseille has come up with a programme called "Safe Place for Science".With Easter round the corner, many are already looking forward to their chocolate binging, but the mood this year is slightly dampened. Le Figaro looks at why chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs are so much more expensive today than they were last year. It puts it down to bad cocoa harvests, poor working conditions for cocoa farmers and increasing speculation. The Independent says that nearly half of Americans will skip Easter traditions because of high prices, which have become increasingly so because of inflation and Trump's trade war. Despite the high prices, it seems that demand for chocolate is still strong this Easter. Swissinfo tells us that 23 million chocolate rabbits have been produced in Switzerland so far.Finally, the winner of the World Press Photo Competition was announced on Thursday, and it is a haunting picture. As the BBC reports, the winning photograph is a portrait of nine-year-old Mahmoud Ajjour recovering from war injuries. The young Palestinian boy lost both his arms in an Israeli air strike on Gaza. The photo was taken by Palestinian photographer Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

How will the Meloni-Trump bilateral meeting today impact the Italian Prime Minister's reputation at home and abroad? Will her efforts to build bridges with Trump burnish her credentials as an EU leader or backfire and damage her political standing? Today Radio Schuman answers these questions with Euronews reporter Vincenzo Genovese.The two leaders are expected to have sensitive discussions on a wide range of issues concerning the EU-US relations, including tariffs, and Ursula von der Leyen was in touch with Meloni before the meeting.Radio Schuman also takes you to Frankfurt for a meeting of the European Central Bank, touches on a potential decision by Russia to suspend the ban on the Taliban, as well as the positive effects of tech use among the elderly.Today's Radio Schuman is hosted by Gerardo Fortuna, and produced by Eleonora Vasques and Lauren Walker.

Strategic autonomy is a buzz phrase in Brussels, as the EU tries to ramp up its capabilities in key industrial sectors. Defence is of course a major focus for those efforts. But calls have grown for the bloc to boost its presence in space as well. Space is seeing weaponisation and hybrid warfare; indeed, the EU Commission says it is just as contested as land, sea, air or the cyber field.  Europe does have some world-class systems such as Galileo or Copernicus, but when it comes to the space sector as a whole, it suffers from fragmentation and underinvestment, similar to the problems that have bedevilled its defence sector.

EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen says they are open to negotiations, following US President Donald Trump's latest tariff threats. He threatened to impose a 200 percent tariff on alcohol exports from the EU to the US. It was in response to Europe's decision to target American whiskey. We've seen how things have escalated between the US and Canada – once long-time friends, neighbours and trading partners – on foot of Donald Trump's tariffs. Could the relationship between the EU and US – which has already been impacted by the US President's negative remarks about the bloc - deteriorate even further into an all-out trade war? To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey spoke with the Independent Ireland South MEP, Michael McNamara. Photo(C): axelbueckert via canva

In this episode, we discuss the changing transatlantic relationship, amid US tariff threats and the EU's white paper on defence. We then cover the biggest protests in Serbia since the regime of Slobodan Milošević.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on the abrupt cancellation of talks between the top American and European Union diplomats.

早在八年前的上一个任期，特朗普就已经掀起过一场规模不小的贸易战，而在 2025 年的当下，上台刚刚一个月，针对不同国家、不同行业的新关税政策就再一次以令人目不暇接的势头从特朗普的总统办公桌前发出。 今天这期节目的嘉宾是我们的老朋友，资深投资人周玖洲。在梳理特朗普最新的关税政策之外，我们也想探讨一些更深入的话题：关税政策背后真正的诉求是什么？上一次的中美贸易战期间发生了什么，留下了哪些影响？如果追溯到更早的上个世纪，一战后那场由美国发起，最终卷入了诸多国家的贸易战引发了怎样的后果？从六十年代开始，持续了三十多年的日美贸易战又能给我们带来哪些教训？ 新的政策还会继续涌现，以关税为棋子的博弈也会继续在美国国内和诸国间上演，让我们保持观察。 本期人物 徐涛，声动活泼联合创始人 周玖洲 Aaron，资深投资人 &「不止金钱」主播 主要话题 [04:11] 特朗普上台之后都推出了哪些关税政策 [07:27] 对盟友开刀，特朗普真正的诉求是什么 [11:52] 墨加英澳都受到了怎样的影响 [17:14] 八年前的中美贸易战都发生了什么 [25:07] 关税提高了，美国的物价就一定会上涨吗 [33:13] 一战后最惨烈的贸易战是怎样打起来的 [47:54] 日美那一场相爱相杀三十年的贸易战 [59:18] 新关税政策带来的影响会在何时体现在何处 给声东击西投稿 如果你受到了美国近期关税政策的影响，又或者你受到了最近一波美国政府裁员潮的影响，都欢迎向我们投稿，聊聊你的经历和感受，你的声音也可能出现在我们未来的节目中。 我们非常期待你的分享！ 投稿入口 (https://eg76rdcl6g.feishu.cn/share/base/form/shrcne1CGVaSeJwtBriW6yNT2dg) 往期节目 #318 经济账 vs.选票账：美国大选经济政策倡议背后的复杂现实 | 2024 Election (https://etw.fm/2124) #327 硅谷与白宫：科技巨头的躬身入局和置身事内 (https://etw.fm/2134) #318 经济账 vs.选票账：美国大选经济政策倡议背后的复杂现实 | 2024 Election (https://etw.fm/2124) #278 当一个国家抛弃自己的货币：阿根廷「全面美元化」下的绝望与豪赌 (https://etw.fm/2079) 「声东击西」大选系列 (https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/podcast-topic/66700ecbc26e396a3666706c) 延伸阅读 《不止金钱》 (https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/podcast/65a625966d045a7f5e0b5640) 本期嘉宾周玖洲的个人播客：《涉市未深》 (https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/podcast/64f179eaa7acfd652eb2ae80) 最新一期聊 DOGE 的节目：投资笔记12：美国式反腐运动，DOGE (https://www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com/episode/67b4913a05a90dfd0d511ad3) 节目中提到的奈飞剧集：《TRUMP:AN AMERICAN DREAM》 (https://www.netflix.com/tw/title/80206395) One Economic Number Has Vexed Trump for Decades (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/us/politics/trump-us-trade-deficit.html) Timeline: Key dates in the U.S.-China trade war (https://www.reuters.com/article/business/timeline-key-dates-in-the-us-china-trade-war-idUSKCN1SE2OZ/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) How Did the 2018 U.S.-China Trade War Affect China's Exporters?

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are reportedly pushing for peace talks to end the war in Ukraine, but with one major catch: Europe is being completely left out of the conversation. While the US and Russia make plans, European leaders are scrambling to figure out what's next. Ursula von der Leyen insists Europe must remain at the center of negotiations, while António Costa bluntly states that the EU “cannot be treated as an ATM.” Are the EU- US relations at their worst?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

This Day in Legal History: Alabama Ten Commandments MonumentOn August 28, 2003, the Supreme Court of Alabama took down a monument of the Ten Commandments from its courthouse rotunda, marking the culmination of a high-profile legal battle. The monument had been installed by Chief Justice Roy Moore in 2001, who argued that it reflected the moral foundation of U.S. law. However, this act sparked a federal lawsuit, Glassroth v. Moore, in which three Alabama attorneys claimed the monument violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits government endorsement of religion.The federal District Court for the Middle District of Alabama agreed with the plaintiffs, ordering Moore to remove the monument. Moore refused, maintaining that he had a duty to acknowledge God in his official capacity. The case was subsequently appealed to the Eleventh Circuit, which upheld the lower court's ruling. When Moore continued to defy the court orders, the Supreme Court of Alabama intervened, removing him from his position as Chief Justice. This case became a significant moment in the ongoing debate over the separation of church and state in the United States.It is worth noting that Roy Moore, the then-Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who so vociferously argued for the inclusion of the Ten Commandment monument is the selfsame Roy Moore that, during his 2017 U.S. Senate campaign, saw nine women accuse him of inappropriate conduct. Three of the women claimed they were assaulted by Moore when they were aged 14, 16, and 28. The other six women described Moore pursuing relationships with them when they were as young as 16. Independent witnesses corroborated that Moore had a reputation for approaching teenage girls at a local mall. Moore's responses to the allegations were inconsistent, initially recognizing some accusers but later denying knowledge of any of them. Thomas V. Girardi, a prominent figure in toxic tort litigation, was convicted on four counts of wire fraud in Los Angeles federal court. Once renowned for his work on the Erin Brockovich case and his appearances on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," the disbarred attorney faced accusations of defrauding vulnerable clients. The jury reached a unanimous verdict after just four hours of deliberation, rejecting Girardi's defense that his cognitive decline prevented him from forming intent to commit fraud.Prosecutors argued that Girardi knowingly deceived clients, fabricating excuses to explain the missing funds, which he had already spent. The trial centered on the suffering of clients who were betrayed by Girardi in their darkest moments, leading to their financial and emotional devastation. Girardi could face up to 80 years in prison at his sentencing in December. His former CFO, Christopher Kamon, will also stand trial for related charges. The case highlights Girardi's history of evading disciplinary action despite numerous complaints and reveals potential future charges against other senior lawyers at his firm.Thomas Girardi Found Guilty by Jury of Defrauding Clients (2)A recent decision by a German privacy regulator has sparked intense debate about how personal data is handled by AI models like large language models (LLMs). The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection concluded that LLMs, despite generating personal data, do not store such information in a way that makes it identifiable, challenging the notion that AI systems can retain personal data. This stance contradicts findings by technologists who argue that LLMs can memorize and reproduce specific data, including personal details. The German position could limit individuals' ability to control their data in AI systems, potentially leading to significant differences in how the U.S. and the EU regulate AI. While California is pushing for laws that explicitly protect personal data in AI, the German approach may set a precedent for a more lenient interpretation under the GDPR. This divergence highlights the complexity of applying traditional privacy laws to AI technologies, with ongoing discussions about how to reconcile these differing perspectives.By way of brief background, LLMs do not directly memorize the training material they are exposed to. Instead, they analyze vast amounts of text data and learn patterns, correlations, and structures within the language, which are then used to generate responses. This learning process involves creating a complex mathematical representation of language—a model—rather than storing specific pieces of text verbatim. However, because these models are trained on enormous datasets, they might sometimes generate outputs that resemble specific phrases or data points encountered during training, especially if those phrases are common or particularly distinctive. This can occasionally lead to the unintentional reproduction of personal or sensitive information from the training data, even though the model itself does not store or recall such information in a traditional, deliberate sense.Of course, that would all be of slim comfort to someone who sees an AI chatbot spit out their home address and social security number in response to a prompt. Personal Info in AI Models Threatens Split in US, EU ApproachSpecial Counsel Jack Smith is moving forward with prosecuting Donald Trump for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election, despite a recent setback from the Supreme Court. The court found that Trump might have partial immunity from prosecution for actions taken as president, leading Smith to file a revised indictment. This new version removes claims related to Trump's communications with government officials, including efforts to involve the Justice Department, but retains the core charges accusing Trump of conspiring to reverse his election loss. The case comes as Trump campaigns for the 2024 election, adding tension to the legal proceedings. Trump criticized the indictment on social media, calling for its dismissal. The updated indictment also cuts references to former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark as a co-conspirator and modifies Trump's description, downplaying his role as president at the time. The case now focuses more on Trump's role as a candidate rather than his presidential actions. As the case progresses, Trump faces other legal challenges, including cases involving classified documents and charges in Georgia related to the 2020 election.Trump Special Counsel Presses Ahead With 2020 Election Case (3)A U.S. appeals court has revived a lawsuit against TikTok by the mother of a 10-year-old girl who died after attempting a dangerous "blackout challenge" promoted on the platform. The Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that TikTok is not shielded by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which typically protects internet companies from liability for user-generated content. The court found that Section 230 does not apply when TikTok's algorithm actively recommends harmful content, viewing such recommendations as the company's own speech. This decision marks a shift from previous interpretations of Section 230, which had generally protected platforms from liability for failing to prevent the spread of harmful content. The ruling overturns a lower court's dismissal of the case, allowing the mother, Tawainna Anderson, to pursue claims against TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, following her daughter Nylah's death in 2021. The case could have significant implications for how tech companies are held accountable for the content their algorithms promote.TikTok must face lawsuit over 10-year-old girl's death, US court rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

Matt Mowers, President of Valcour - Global Public Strategy, former Trump State Department official, and founding board member of the EU-US Forum, joined the Guy Benson Show today with Guy from Vienna, Austria. Mowers and Benson discussed the reasons for the founding of the EU-US Forum. As Mowers details, many of the far-left policies that are beginning to creep into mainstream US politics originated from the leftist policies of the European Union. In polling done by the forum, it was discovered that the vast majority of these leftist policies are not supported by ordinary people living under the rule of the governmental body. Benson and Mowers also discussed the Labour Party sweep in the United Kingdom, as well as the outlook on the elections going on in the US this November.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” hosts the EU-US Forum's panel discussion on immigration, focusing on the shift in American and European attitudes towards the issue and why America appears to be repeating the mistakes of most of Europe. The panelists, including former senior White House adviser Matt Mowers, former acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf, Director of Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation Kara Frederick, former assistant to the president for domestic policy Joe Grogan, and the senior counselor to the president and EEW Richardson fellow at the Heritage Foundation James Carafano, discussed the impact of illegal immigration on local communities, national security, and cultural assimilation. They argue that the current immigration crisis is a result of failed policies and a lack of border control and call for a re-evaluation of immigration systems that prioritize the interests of citizens; and much more.
