WASHINGTON — Donald Trump loved to use tariffs on foreign goods during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries. The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs. Nor did they provoke the avalanche of inflation that critics feared. This time, though, his tariff threats might be different . The president-elect is talking about going much bigger — on a potential scale that creates more uncertainty about whether he'll do what he says and what the consequences could be. “There's going to be a lot more tariffs, I mean, he's pretty clear,” said Michael Stumo, the CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America, a group that has supported import taxes to help domestic manufacturing. The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. Chinese imports would face additional tariffs of 10% until Beijing cracks down on the production of materials used in making fentanyl, Trump posted. Business groups were quick to warn about rapidly escalating inflation , while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would counter the move with tariffs on U.S. products. House Democrats put together legislation to strip a president’s ability to unilaterally apply tariffs this drastic, warning that they would likely lead to higher prices for autos, shoes, housing and groceries. Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.” “The economy department is preparing it,” Sheinbaum said. “If there are tariffs, Mexico would increase tariffs, it is a technical task about what would also benefit Mexico,” she said, suggesting her country would impose targeted import duties on U.S. goods in sensitive areas. House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require congressional approval for a president to impose tariffs due to claims of a national emergency, a largely symbolic action given Republicans' coming control of both the House and Senate. "This legislation would enable Congress to limit this sweeping emergency authority and put in place the necessary Congressional oversight before any president – Democrat or Republican – could indiscriminately raise costs on the American people through tariffs,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash. But for Trump, tariffs are now a tested tool that seems less politically controversial even if the mandate he received in November's election largely involved restraining inflation. The tariffs he imposed on China in his first term were continued by President Joe Biden, a Democrat who even expanded tariffs and restrictions on the world's second largest economy. Biden administration officials looked at removing Trump's tariffs in order to bring down inflationary pressures, only to find they were unlikely to help significantly. Tariffs were “so new and unique that it freaked everybody out in 2017,” said Stumo, but they were ultimately somewhat modest. Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines at the start of 2018, moves that might have pushed up prices in those sectors even though they also overlapped with plans to open washing machine plants in Tennessee and South Carolina. His administration also levied tariffs on steel and aluminum, including against allies. He then increased tariffs on China, leading to a trade conflict and a limited 2020 agreement that failed to produce the promised Chinese purchases of U.S. goods. Still, the dispute changed relations with China as more U.S. companies looked for alternative suppliers in other countries. Economic research also found the United States may have sacrificed some of its “soft power” as the Chinese population began to watch fewer American movies. The Federal Reserve kept inflation roughly on target, but factory construction spending never jumped in a way that suggested a lasting gain in manufacturing jobs. Separate economic research found the tariff war with China did nothing economically for the communities hurt by offshoring, but it did help Trump and Republicans in those communities politically. When Trump first became president in 2017, the federal government collected $34.6 billion in customs, duties and fees. That sum more than doubled under Trump to $70.8 billion in 2019, according to Office of Management and Budget records. While that sum might seem meaningful, it was relatively small compared to the overall economy. America's gross domestic product is now $29.3 trillion, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The total tariffs collected in the United States would equal less than 0.3% of GDP. The new tariffs being floated by Trump now are dramatically larger and there could be far more significant impacts. If Mexico, Canada, and China faced the additional tariffs proposed by Trump on all goods imported to the United States, that could be roughly equal to $266 billion in tax collections, a number that does not assume any disruptions in trade or retaliatory moves by other countries. The cost of those taxes would likely be borne by U.S. families, importers and domestic and foreign companies in the form of higher prices or lower profits. Former Biden administration officials said they worried that companies could piggyback on Trump's tariffs — if they're imposed — as a rationale to raise their prices, just as many companies after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 boosted food and energy costs and gave several major companies the space to raise prices, according to their own earnings calls with investors. But what Trump didn't really spell out is what might cause him to back down on tariffs and declare a victory. What he is creating instead with his tariff threats is a sense of uncertainty as companies and countries await the details to figure out what all of this could mean. “We know the key economic policy priorities of the incoming Trump administration, but we don’t know how or when they will be addressed,” said Greg Daco, chief U.S. economist at EY-Parthenon.

Saudi Arabia's plans to host the men's World Cup 2034 will be harmful for the climate, experts sayThe reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week, but got back to winning ways thanks to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a late Chuba Hubbard touchdown and two-point conversion had made it 27-27, the Chiefs got the ball back with less than two minutes on the clock and a 33-yard run from Mahomes helped set up Spencer Shrader for a game-winning field goal. Mahomes finished the game with 269 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Noah Gray in the first half. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored two touchdowns as the Detroit Lions beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 to improve their record to 10-1, matching that of the Chiefs. David Montgomery also ran for a score before having to leave the game with a shoulder injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended a four-game losing streak with a 30-7 win over the New York Giants, who “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract of quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week. Jones’ replacement Tommy DeVito was sacked four times while opposite number Baker Mayfield ran for a touchdown and completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 294 yards. Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker also ran for touchdowns in a one-sided contest. The Dallas Cowboys ended their five-game losing streak with a remarkable 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, with 30 points scored in the final three minutes. KaVontae Turpin’s 99-yard kick-off return for a touchdown looked to have sealed victory for the Cowboys, only for the Commanders to respond with a field goal before getting the ball back with 33 seconds remaining. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin sprinted 86 yards through the Dallas defence for a touchdown, only for Austin Seibert to miss the extra point. The Commanders tried an onside kick and Juanyeh Thomas returned it 43 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw four touchdown passes as the Miami Dolphins cruised to a 34-15 win over the New England Patriots, while the Tennessee Titans pulled off a surprise 32-27 victory at the Houston Texans. The Minnesota Vikings improved to 9-2 thanks to a 30-27 overtime win against the Chicago Bears, Parker Romo kicking the decisive field goal from 29 yards.

Asda shoppers race to buy new Christmas-themed mayonnaise flavour that is ‘perfect with turkey sandwiches’The local stock market remains bearish as its rally last week was seen as just a dead cat bounce, not based on a change in sentiment. “Inflationary pressure and geopolitical risks are starting to permeate global markets more deeply; central banks are becoming less aggressive on previously communicated rate cut paths (including the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas); and trade war threats plus weak EU and China output are adding to the headwinds in emerging markets,” said 2TradeAsia.com. It explained that “a restart in the global rate cycle (i.e., a consistent downward trend of interest rates) has been the spring well that fueled local equities toward one of their best quarterly performances in the third quarter.” Thus, 2TradeAsia.com said, “A gradual evaporation of this same 'well' is likely to prompt a deceleration in activity until data points – such as inflation, deficit, and foreign exchange stability, among others – drive the needle back to previous assumptions.” “The silver lining is that the overall direction remains dovish, although the magnitude and speed of cuts have scaled back significantly since the third quarter and are now being reflected in forward valuations,” it added. However, 2TradeAsia.com said weak global growth projections highlight the relative value of strong, consumption-driven economies whose monetary policies still have room to adjust in case of a downturn. Philippine gross domestic product growth is seen at around 6 percent next year, still regionally strong. Improved inflation and interest rate configuration at the start of next year should help brace the corporate outlook before midyear elections. Under this scenario, 2TradeAsia.com said securities with excess returns are slightly more challenging to find and advises investors to “stay selective on trades, acknowledging that with an intact earnings trend, some issues are now trading at extremely discounted multiples because of the rout.” Philstocks Financial Research Manager Japhet Tantiangco noted that trading activity during last week’s rally was thin, reflecting tepid conviction. Market confidence is not strong enough yet amid lingering headwinds and a lack of fresh leads. “The local market remains at attractive levels. Hence, we may still see bargain hunting in next week’s trading. However, investors are still expected to maintain a cautious stance while waiting for fresh catalysts. The peso’s weakness against the US dollar, if it persists, especially if it breaches the P59.00 level, may weigh on the local bourse,” he added. Last Friday, the local stock market declined due to concerns over the weakening peso and the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The main index fell by 82.88 points, or 1.21 percent, closing at 6,780.13. Conglomerates led the retreat, while the mining sector managed to resist the downward trend. Trading volume decreased to 605 million shares, valued at P3.15 billion, with losing stocks outnumbering gainers by 108 to 76, and 64 remaining unchanged.
Potential suitors have again begun circling ITV, Britain’s biggest terrestrial commercial broadcaster, after a prolonged period of share price weakness and renewed questions about its long-term strategic destiny. Sky News has learnt that a number of possible bidders for parts or all of the company, whose biggest shows include Love Island, have in recent weeks held early-stage discussions about teaming up to pursue a potential transaction. TV industry sources said this weekend that CVC Capital Partners and a major European broadcaster - thought to be France's Groupe TF1 - were among those which had been starting to study the merits of a potential offer. The sources added that RedBird Capital-owned All3Media and Mediawan, which is backed by the private equity giant KKR, were also on the list of potential suitors for the ITV Studios production arm. One cautioned this weekend that none of the work on potential bids was at a sufficiently advanced stage to require disclosure under the UK's stock market disclosure rules, and suggested that ITV's board - chaired by Andrew Cosslett - had not received any recent unsolicited approaches. That meant that the prospects of any formal approach materialising was highly uncertain. The person added, however, that Dame Carolyn McCall, ITV's long-serving chief executive, had been discussing with the company's financial advisers the merits of a demerger or other form of separation of its two main business units.

Three women who've done it share their stories Its main banking advisers are Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Robey Warshaw. ITV's shares are languishing at just 65.5p, giving the whole company a market capitalisation of £2.51bn. The stock rose more than 5% on Friday amid vague market chatter about a possible takeover bid. Bankers and analysts believe that ITV Studios, which made Disney+'s hit show, Rivals, would be worth more than the entire company's market capitalisation in a break-up of ITV. People close to the situation said that under one possible plan being studied, CVC could be interested in acquiring ITV Studios, with a European broadcast partner taking over its broadcasting arm, including the ITVX streaming platform. "At the right price, it would make sense if CVC wanted the undervalued production business, with TF1 wanting an English language streaming service in ITVX, along with the cashflows of the declining channels," one broadcasting industry veteran said this weekend. "They would only get the assets, though, in a deal worth double the current share price." Takeover speculation about ITV, which competes with Sky News' parent company, has been a recurring theme since the company was created from the merger of Carlton and Granada more than 20 years ago. ITV said this month that it would seek additional cost savings of £20m this year as it continued to deal with the fallout from last year's strikes by Hollywood writers and actors. It added that revenues at the Studios arm would decline over the current financial year, with advertising revenues sharply lower in the fourth quarter than in the same period a year earlier because of the tough comparison with 2023's Rugby World Cup. Allies of Dame Carolyn, who has run ITV since 2018, argue that she has transformed ITV, diversifying further into production and overhauling its digital capabilities. The majority of ITV's revenue now comes from profitable and growing areas, including ITVX and the Studios arm, they said. By 2026, those areas are expected to account for more than two-thirds of the group's sales. This year, its production arm was responsible for the most-viewed drama of the year on any channel or platform, Mr Bates versus The Post Office. In its third-quarter update earlier this month, Dame Carolyn said the company's "good strategic progress has continued in the first nine months of 2024 driven by strong execution and industry-leading creativity". "ITV Studios is performing well despite the expected impact of both the writer's strike and a softer market from free-to-air broadcasters." She said the unit would achieve record profits this year. ITV and CVC declined to comment, while TF1, RedBird and Mediawan did not respond to requests for comment.
