It's Monday, the 14th of April. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. Alright, let's get briefed. We'll start things off with a shift in the US-China trade war. Now the White House is exempting smartphones and other key electronics from its new round of tariffs, hoping to spare American consumers and tech companies.
I'll have the latest details on that. Later in the show, American and Iranian officials just held their first face-to-face talks in years. Well, sort of face-to-face. With the exception of a brief direct conversation, the bulk of the discussion was held indirectly using Omani mediators. The White House is calling the meeting, quote, constructive, with more negotiations on the way.
Plus, the Trump administration has revealed its plan to acquire Greenland. They're not giving up on that. It doesn't include a military option, but the US may be ready to spend big to make the Arctic Island American. Now, given inflation, I suspect that Greenland is going to cost a lot more than what the US spent on either Manhattan or the Louisiana Purchase back in the day.
Und in heute's Back of the Brief, we head to the U.S. southern border, where President Trump has given the Pentagon new authority over federal land to expand immigration enforcement efforts. But first, today's PDB Spotlight. There may be a slight thaw in the trade war between the US and China, at least for now.
In a surprise move late Friday night, the US Customs and Border Protection published a new list of exemptions to President Trump's sweeping tariff policy. Among the products now spared from steep import taxes would be smartphones, hard drives, processors, solar cells, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, flat panel displays and memory chips.
Die Veränderung scheint diese Geräte von der Basis-10%-Tarif, die für die meisten Länder geeignet ist, und mehr wichtig, von der massiven 145% China-spezifischen Tarif, die einfach in Effekt ging. In anderen Worten, naja, der Techniksektor hat einfach eine massive Leitlinie.
Die Rückkehr ist natürlich besonders willkommen für Amerikas Tech-Giants, die auf China für sowohl Arbeit als auch Komponenten stark aufmerksam bleiben.
Während Politiker auf dem ganzen Spektrum seit Jahrhunderten für das, was sie als Dekoupling bezeichnen, geholfen haben, spielt das Land natürlich immer noch eine wichtige Rolle beim Produzieren und Zusammenfassen von amerikanischer Technik, sowohl wegen ihrer massiven Produktionstätigkeit als auch wegen ihres intrakten Unternehmens.
