News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Amy Morris. In the State of the Union, President Trump says he'll impose tariffs through other authorities after the Supreme Court's decision to revoke his emergency duties. He started with a 150-day, 10% global tariff. U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer says he'll bump that to 15% where appropriate through a supplemental proclamation in coming days.

We have a lot of countries out there that for a long time have had 10%. We have some that have higher at 15%. And so our goal with all of this is to have continuity.

The company says the policy environment has shifted toward prioritizing AI competitiveness and economic growth, while safety-oriented discussions have yet to gain meaningful traction at the federal level. Senator Elizabeth Warren is criticizing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his threats against Anthropic.
Amy Morris 3:33
Hegseth threatened to cut Anthropic out of the Pentagon's supply chain or to invoke the Defense Production Act unless Anthropic gave the military unfettered access to its AI model. Warren, along with other Democrats, released a statement calling Hegseth's threat extortion. Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin says if AI does disrupt business and the labor market, interest rate policy should not be used to counter that. At an event in northern Virginia, Barkin says such disruption is part of the essence of capitalism. He called it creative destruction, which he says has been happening for hundreds of years, and interest rate policy is not the answer.
