News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Doug Krisner. Some European leaders are taking a stand against President Trump's threat of new tariffs. Now, Trump announced a new 10% levy on eight EU countries opposed to his plans to seize Greenland. In response, French President Emmanuel Macron intends to request the activation of the EU's strongest trade countermeasure.
However, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is trying to persuade Macron to tone down his response. At the same time, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticised Trump's move.
Tariffs should not be used against allies in this way. In relation to the escalation, look, a tariff war is in nobody's interests. And we have not got to that stage. And my focus, therefore, is making sure we don't get to that stage. And that's what I'm doing at the moment.
That is British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Meantime, the managing director of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, says it's too early to assess the impact of a potential new trade war between Europe and the U.S.
Too early to say what exactly the impacts of new trade tensions is, but we know that when we have more uncertainty, bad for business, bad for households. The best way forward... find a path to agreement. And that is going to be good for everybody, everywhere.

The judge concluded the Department of Homeland Security did not violate an earlier court order when it reimposed a seven-day notice requirement for congressional oversight visits to those ICE facilities. On Wednesday, the U.S.
Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in Trump v. Cook, and Fed Chair Jay Powell plans to attend. This case will decide whether the president has the power to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook for alleged mortgage fraud. It was back in October that justices refused to allow Trump to immediately oust Cook while she sues to keep her job.
Now, this case is critical because it will address the removal protection afforded members of the Fed's Board of Governors. Meantime, the next Fed meeting is just over a week away. Here is Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Santander U.S. Capital Markets.
I would say that if the economy is doing better, that is likely to reduce the level of agita in the White House, right? So even if the Fed is not cutting, as the president has suggested he would like, the
Chapter 3: How is France responding to President Trump's tariff threats?
If people are feeling better about the economy and the president is maybe feeling better at the margin about election prospects in November, I suspect the heat will tamp down a little bit.
That is Stephen Stanley of Saint-Antoine. A new study finds Americans are bearing nearly all of the cost of the Trump tariffs. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is being shouldered by foreign firms, while nearly 96% of those tariffs are being passed through to U.S. buyers.
The Kiel researchers wrote that the tariffs are functioning not as a tax on foreign producers, but as a consumption tax on Americans. A fashion icon and master of couture has died. More from Bloomberg's Erika Herskowitz.
