What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager. Time is running out. That is President Donald Trump's newest warning to Iran as a U.S. carrier group moves into the Persian Gulf.
What warning does Trump give to Iran regarding military action?
The president posted on social media this morning that Tehran should come to the table quickly on a nuclear deal or face military strikes far worse than the one the president ordered last June. Stefan Dujeric is a spokesman for U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
The Secretary General calls for maximum restraints and encourages all actors to refrain from any actions that will further increase tension or ignite conflict or escalation in the wider region.
U.N. spokesman Stefan Dujarric now Iran posted on X, it stands ready for dialogue, but if pushed, will respond like never before. President Trump is putting new pressure on Minneapolis after he sent his border czar into the city. In a Truth Social post, he said Mayor Jacob Fry is playing with fire. for saying he won't change Minneapolis's immigration laws in exchange for federal agents leaving. Bloomberg's Nick Wadhams reports the president's move to send Tom Holman into Minneapolis had been seen as a way to cool tensions.
After the two shootings, I mean, this issue has proven to be so divisive. And you have seen some conservatives, some members of Congress, even some members of the MAGA base, particularly on the issue of gun rights, because the second shooting, American who was killed, Alex Preddy, was carrying a gun that he was permitted for.
That's Bloomberg's Nick Wadhams. And Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's statements about Alex Preddy have more members of Congress calling for her to step down. We get that part of the story from Bloomberg's Laura Davison.
Some Republicans in Congress, including Lisa Murkowski and Tom Tillis, both senators have said that they think that she should step down. In the House side, we've seen a growing effort from Democrats to move to impeach her. That really faces long odds.
That's Bloomberg's Laura Davison in Washington. Secretary Noem initially called Pretty a domestic terrorist and said he brandished a firearm. Multiple videos show he was carrying a cell phone before federal agents tackled and killed him. President Trump is also praising the market rally he posted on Truth Social. America is back after the S&P 500 briefly crossed the 7,000 mark at the open. Right now it's just shy of that level, though still higher, up two-tenths of one percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is little changed to the upside. The Nasdaq composite is higher by four-tenths of one percent. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the U.S. is, quote, absolutely not intervening to boost the Japanese yen against the dollar.
Besson spoke to CNBC a day after President Trump told reporters he doesn't mind the dollar weakening. That sparked the biggest one-day sell-off for the greenback in months. Bloomberg's Salaya Mohsen reports it's all part of a broader trend.
We're no longer pushing globalism and free trade. We are raising borders since 2017, including through the Biden administration and back to Trump. We're seeing more isolationist policies. And so if there is a benefit to a weaker dollar, then this administration will try to gain and get as much from that benefit. What we're watching for is any kind of disorderly movement in the dollar.
Solea Mosen is Bloomberg's senior Washington correspondent. After Secretary Besson's remarks, we're seeing a big move in the Japanese yen, weakening by eight-tenths of one percent. The Bloomberg dollar spot index is strengthening by a half percent.
How is Trump influencing immigration laws in Minneapolis?
Secretary Besson says the U.S. always has a strong dollar policy. All this ahead of the Federal Reserve's first rate decision of the year. That's coming up this afternoon. Bloomberg's Michael McKee reports the central bank is widely expected to keep rates on hold.
So the question now... Will Jay Powell talk about policy only or will he delve into the politics of his relationship with the president and the Fed's relationship with the Trump administration?
