Donald Trump has defended his sweeping new tariffs, urging countries unhappy with U.S. trade levies to stop doing business altogether. Calling the tariffs “appropriate,” Trump brushed aside stock market dips and claimed his policies were making America “strong.” While pausing new duties for 90 days—except for China—he insisted that a 10% tariff would be the new baseline. Trump also boasted about global reliance on the U.S. dollar and said foreign governments were desperate to negotiate. Markets saw some rebound after his walk-back announcement on baseline tariffs.

Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s administration is reportedly causing chaos behind closed doors. According to a Rolling Stone exposé, senior Trump officials describe Musk as insufferable, unfunny, and disruptive in key meetings—prompting walkouts and mockery. One official said Musk believes he’s “smarter than everyone,” while another called him “the most irritating person” they’ve dealt with. His erratic behavior has sparked rumors of possible substance abuse. Diplomats now mockingly refer to him as “Crazy Uncle Elon,” with even Secretary of State Marco Rubio allegedly showing open disdain for the billionaire.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the Conservative leader is wrong to say she had negotiated a modernisation plan with British Steel for electric arc furnaces at Teesside and Scunthorpe. Ms Badenoch posted on X on Friday saying as business secretary in the last Conservative government she had negotiated the proposal, but it was "bungled" by Labour. After intervening, Ms Badenoch says: "Labour cannot negotiate. We were negotiating a modernisation deal that would have had limited job losses, just like we had in Port Talbot”. Report by Blairm.
