There's less competition from new properties, and there's fewer options for retailers who do want to open more stores. So they're going to be driven to the existing shopping centers. This is going to keep vacancy a little bit in check. We did see retail vacancy tick up a bit, but it's still really close to the historic low levels.
So overall, the retail sector is pretty well positioned to handle the economic turmoil that many people feel is advancing.
And how has this reordering of global trade really impacted US relationships abroad?
So with a lot of his attention being pulled beyond America's borders, where does that leave his domestic agenda, especially things like immigration?
And Alex, how have voters been reacting to his first 100 days in office?
OK, so lots to watch out for going forward. Alex, thanks so much for breaking this down for us.
Russia strikes Kiev, killing a large number of civilians as peace talks stall. Plus, it's a bumper earnings day with some tech companies already warning of the tariff impact. And President Trump rebuffs plans for a millionaire tax, even as new data shows the wealthiest Americans just keep getting richer.
It's Thursday, April 24th. I'm Kate Bullivant for The Wall Street Journal, filling in for Luke Vargas. And here is the AM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories moving your world today. Russia has killed nine and injured 70 people in its biggest aerial bombardment of Ukraine's capital this year.
The assault came just hours after the US pulled out of talks to end the war, after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said US recognition of Crimea as Russian territory was a non-starter. President Trump yesterday hit out at Zelensky for failing to accept the peace proposal. He has largely refrained from criticising Russia.
Ukraine agreed to a full ceasefire proposal by the US in March, but Russia declined, with Moscow having intensified mass killings of civilians in recent weeks. Zelensky has said a ceasefire should be implemented before further talks on a peace deal can take place.
Meanwhile, a day after the scheduled London talks, representatives from more than 60 countries are gathering in the British capital this morning for a major energy security summit. Among them is Ukrainian Energy Minister Gaumont Galushchenko.
He sat down with our Luke Vargas to discuss the country's vision for using energy to try and guarantee its future security, a prospect that would have seemed highly unlikely when the war first got underway.
Coming up, the rest of today's news, including Trump's latest orders targeting U.S. universities and why there are more super-rich people in America than ever before. Those stories and more after the break.
Tesla's sales in the European Union plunged for a third consecutive month in March, slumping 36%. The drop follows a halving of sales in January and February. Tesla's latest decline stands in contrast with growing demand for electric vehicles across the EU in March and comes amid fierce competition from Chinese EV makers.
The picture is also gloomy for tech companies STMicro and Nokia, who both flagged a tariff hit to earnings this morning, forecasting lower than expected sales in the coming quarter. That said, consumer giants Nestle and Unilever reported stronger than expected sales.
We'll get more clues on just how Trump's economic policies are affecting different sectors with a further raft of earnings due out later. The likes of Alphabet, Procter & Gamble and Southwest Airlines are among the companies reporting. Check out WSJ.com for more coverage throughout the day.
President Trump is continuing his efforts to remake higher education by signing two executive orders related to foreign funding and the college accreditation system. College accreditation sets standards that must be met by universities and colleges to access federal financial aid.
And as higher education reporter Sarah Randazzo explains, that covers everything from their mission and admissions policies to the quality of their faculty and programming.
The other executive order is cracking down on foreign funding at universities, a key point of contention with Harvard. The US government can revoke federal funding from universities that fail to meet transparency requirements around money coming from outside the country.
White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf said certain universities, including Harvard, have, quote, routinely violated this law and this law has not been effectively enforced, end quote. The administration hasn't provided evidence Harvard violated the law. A Harvard spokesman said the university has filed the appropriate reports for decades as part of its ongoing compliance with the law.
