The UK stands apart as a place to do business, not because of one advantage, but many working together.

It all adds up to greater growth. Find out more at business.gov.uk slash growth.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager.
And I'm John Tucker.
John, we begin with new developments on global tariffs. Bloomberg News has learned the Trump administration's working to narrow its broad duties on steel and aluminum products. We get more from Bloomberg Trade Czar Brendan Murray.
Well, what we know is the Trump administration has acknowledged that the steel and aluminum tariffs that they rolled out in waves last year are overly complicated for a lot of companies and have really created a lot of unintended consequences. victims that have to pay these tariffs. They rolled out the first 25% tariff in March of 2025. Then they raised it to 50% in June. And then in August, they extended the scope of the tariffs to include a whole host of maybe hundreds of goods that contain steel and aluminum.
Bloomberg's Brendan Murray says ending or curtailing the derivative tariffs would be a positive step for the U.S.-EU trade accord.
And meanwhile, Nathan, the Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a key scientific finding that supported U.S. regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. Let's get more from Washington and Bloomberg's Amy Morris.
The move rescinds a 2009 declaration that carbon dioxide and other gases endanger public health. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin calls this a major deregulatory action. President Trump says, ultimately, it saves money.
This action will eliminate over $1.3 trillion of regulatory costs and help bring car prices tumbling down dramatically.
The so-called endangerment finding serves as the legal foundation for a lot of environmental rules, including federal standards for vehicle emissions. Trump says he'll also repeal those. Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.
Thanks, Amy. On Capitol Hill, it's gone quiet. The Senate has headed out for a week-long recess, and the federal government's headed for its second partial shutdown in as many months and the third since President Donald Trump returned to office. This one affects only the Department of Homeland Security. The Senate failed to begin debate on a year-long bill for the agency that included no changes to immigration enforcement. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says that would have been unacceptable.
This vote today asked a simple question. Will you rein in ISIS abuses?
What are the latest updates on Trump's trade tariffs?
or will you vote to extend the chaos? Republicans chose chaos, and the Democrats, we refused.
Minority leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats want immigration agents to wear body cameras and obtain warrants, take off masks, and have limited immunity from lawsuits. Majority leader John Thune says the White House presented a good faith counteroffer but he says it looks like the Democrats aren't serious. Under a shutdown, most DHS employees will be expected to work without pay. That includes the Transportation Security Administration, which could mean a strain at the airports.
And Nathan, more fallout this morning from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Goldman Sachs' top lawyer, Kathy Rumler, is leaving the firm following a of Department of Justice documents showing her links to the sex offender. Rumler, who will leave on June 30, was well known for her time as a White House counsel in the Barack Obama administration.
How have the steel and aluminum tariffs impacted U.S. businesses?
She was hired by Goldman in 2020 and later became its legal chief.
Now, John, let's get an update on the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy. Tomorrow will be two weeks since the Today Show host's mother was last seen at her home near Tucson. The FBI has doubled the reward for information that leads to her return to $100,000. And investigators are asking neighbors to share surveillance camera footage of suspicious cars or people they may have seen in the month before Nancy Guthrie disappeared.
