Hopes Of Lower Tariffs Against European Cars Are Fading Fast
One of the biggest promises of President Donald J. Trump's electoral race was to impose tariffs on foreign imports, and shortly after he was inaugurated for the second time, "tariffs" quickly became one of the buzzwords of his presidency. When it comes to cars, just about anything produced outside of American borders is going to get a lot more expensive, and due to vastly complex international supply chains, even domestically produced products could be impacted. But there was a glimmer of hope that the president would change - or at least soften - his stance against America's allies in Europe. European Union leaders had publicly expressed this expectation, citing a history of cooperation. However, as the July 9 deadline for tariffs to be further increased approaches, hope is fading, reports Reuters. The publication spoke to an anonymous official who reportedly noted that hopes of relief are fading faster now that tariffs have come into effect: "10% is a sticky issue. We are pressing them, but now they are getting revenues." A second source reportedly said the EU still would not accept the baseline rate but acknowledged that it would be difficult to change or abolish the measure. The European Union has also publicly declared that it would not accept double-digit tariffs as the United Kingdom has, but U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has ruled out the idea of any tariffs being lowered under the 10 percent baseline. What makes this worse is that the tariffs don't only apply to finished products; steel and aluminum from Europe face a 50 percent tariff, and that doesn't even include the standalone 25 percent tariff on foreign cars. The good news is that Europe, with a trade surplus of $236 billion with the U.S., needs to continue doing business with the largest economy in the world, so your local BMW dealer isn't closing up shop anytime soon. An EU official is quoted by Reuters as saying that the 10% baseline rate would "not massively erode competitive positions, especially if others receive the same treatment." And although hope of a compromise is fading, it hasn't been extinguished just yet. As noted by CarScoops, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that negotiations are still underway, despite President Trump's assertion earlier this week that the EU hadn't been fair thus far. "We're talking, but I don't feel that they're offering a fair deal yet," said President Trump. "They're either going to make a good deal or they'll just pay whatever we say they have to pay." Von der Leyen said, "It's complex, but we are advancing - that is good - and I push hard to pick up more speed. So we are mixed in the negotiations, and we will see what the end brings." The United States government is adamant that its long-standing partners are benefitting more from the status quo than America is, and that mindset means that any price increases as a result of tariffs on EU imports will likely not be small. That said, automakers are working to find ways of absorbing as much of the financial strain as possible, and one way of doing that is by pushing sales of existing inventory with incentives and employee pricing offers.

Iran unsure it can trust US after Israeli strikes: top official
Iran's foreign minister told NBC News Friday that Tehran was not sure it could trust the United States in the wake of numerous Israeli attacks on Iran. The airstrikes from Israel, which have targeted Iranian military and nuclear facilities, came just days before American officials were scheduled to hold nuclear talks mediated by Oman. The U.S. has said it was not involved in the operation, although Trump was notified of the strike beforehand by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the interview, Araghchi suggested that the United States was not legitimately interested in diplomacy and was only using the talks as a 'cover' for future attacks. 'They had perhaps this plan in their mind, and they just needed negotiations perhaps to cover it up,' Araghchi said. 'We don't know how we can trust them anymore. What they did was in fact a betrayal to diplomacy.' 'We're not prepared to negotiate with them anymore, as long as the aggression continues,' he added. The State Department did not immediately return a request for comment. Araghchi's comments mark another deterioration in the chances for diplomacy between the United States and Iran, and come as President Trump is weighing a strike on the country that could damage one of its most significant nuclear facilities that is still standing after Israel's attacks. Trump has repeatedly said that he hopes for a diplomatic solution and does not want to involve the United States in another war in the Middle East. But he also approved of an airstrike in private, the Wall Street Journal reported, although he held off on giving a final order. Now, Trump has attempted to give himself more room for negotiations, saying that he will make a decision within two weeks. Nuclear talks between Iranian, German, French, and British diplomats are now occurring in Geneva, although they did not produce any breakthroughs on their first day. During the interview, which occurred after the end of the talks on Friday, Aragchi said that Israel had to halt its attacks in order to continue negotiations, and that he was unwilling to give up uranium enrichment entirely. 'This is an achievement of our own scientists. It is a question of national pride,' he said.

DNC elects vice chair to replace David Hogg as Democrat Party rift rages on
Shasti Conrad, Washington State Democratic Party Chair, was elected vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday, ending the months-long David Hogg controversy in which the 25-year-old progressive bowed out from party leadership. The second voting period for the DNC's "any gender" vice chair election ended Friday night as Free OR Conrad picked up the majority of votes cast by DNC members. Earlier in the week, candidates failed to secure a majority and Jeanna Repass was eliminated during the first round of voting. Hogg announced his exit from DNC leadership after members voted last week to uphold the Credentials Committee's resolution proposed by Kalyn Free to host a re-election for two vice-chair positions, which Hogg and DNC vice chair Malcolm Kenyatta won during the Feb. 1 party elections. Kenyatta told Fox News Digital after Hogg's exit that the re-election drama has prevented the DNC from being "singularly focused." "We've spent a lot of time talking about procedural nonsense within the DNC. I promise you nobody cares about that, and nobody wants to talk about it as little as I do. I want us to get refocused," Kenyatta said. Hogg agreed, writing in a lengthy X statement that he was stepping down from the DNC, "so the party can focus on what really matters." But Hogg ignited internal Democratic Party divisions this year through his $20 million plan to primary challenge vulnerable incumbent Democrats he said were "asleep at the wheel." The plan, through his outside political action group, Leaders We Deserve, exposed an apparent rift with DNC Chair Ken Martin, who gave Hogg the ultimatum to either forego his political influence through his PAC or give up his DNC leadership position. And the young progressive's departure did little to stall headlines about the Democratic Party's disarray, as this week DNC officials criticized Martin's leadership and The New York Times reported officials had considered borrowing money to pay the bills this year. Earlier this week, The New York Times also first reported that two top union leaders had departed the DNC. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, and Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, declined offers to stay on as at-large members of the DNC. "I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging, and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent and actively trying to engage more and more of our communities," Weingarten, the education leader and longtime voice in Democratic politics, said in a letter Martin that is now circulating on social media. Hogg's decision to leave the DNC followed a damning Politico report, which included leaked audio from a Zoom meeting of Martin lamenting over Hogg's fallout at the DNC, claiming it had made it harder for Democrats to do their jobs and for Martin to demonstrate his ability to lead. "I don't think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So, it's really frustrating," Martin said. Free submitted her complaint following the DNC's Feb. 1 officer elections, in which Hogg and Kenyatta were elected vice chairs. She claimed the DNC's tabulation method violated the charter's provision and parliamentary procedure and "discriminated against three women of color candidates." "This was never about Malcolm Kenyatta or David Hogg," Free told Fox News Digital after the Credentials Committee elevated her complaint before the full DNC. "For me, this was about ensuring that the Democratic Party lives up to our ideals as the only political party to believe in and stand up for election integrity and a free and fair democracy." The Democratic Party maintained that the vice-chair re-election had nothing to do with the primary controversy Hogg stirred up earlier this year, but Hogg slammed the vote as a "fast-track" effort to remove him from party leadership.
