President Donald Trump answers a reporter's question during an event in the Roosevelt Room at the White House, Monday, May 12, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2025-05-12T20:44:01Z WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trumps agreement with China to temporarily slash tariffs for 90 days offered the world a bit of welcome relief. But what persists is a sense of uncertainty and the possibility that some damage from the trade war could already be done.The Trump administration agreed after talks this weekend in Switzerland to pare back its 145% in tariffs charged on imports from China to 30%. The Chinese government chose to reduce its retaliatory import taxes on U.S. goods from 125% to 10% while the sides continue to negotiate.Trump declared the de-escalation of the trade war a victory, saying he would soon chat with Chinese President Xi Jinping about how to preserve the financial relationship between the worlds two largest economies.Regardless, the tariffs are now elevated from when Trump took office and the scramble to respond to the White Houses mix of threats and olive branches might leave CEOs, investors and consumers uneasy and unwilling to take risks. Trump is going to keep tariffingThe global economy is not going to back to January 19, 2025, the day before Trump became president. Even if he routinely changes the tariff rates, the U.S. president and his aides have made it clear that most imports will be taxed at a minimum of roughly 10%.The 10% figure has been Trumps baseline. He gave it to most countries for a 90-day negotiating period after his April 2 Liberation Day tariff rollout caused a panic in the financial markets. He kept the 10% rate as part of the framework with the United Kingdom announced last week. And Trumps new 30% tariff on Chinese goods includes 20% tied to Chinas role in fentanyl and the 10% baseline applied elsewhere. We have many deals coming down the line, Trump said on Friday. But we always have a baseline of 10%.But Trump has also hinted that there could be exceptions. Sectoral tariffs of 25% on autos, steel and aluminum are still in place, with Trump stressing that pharmaceutical drugs will also soon face import taxes.Trump said Monday that he told House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to include tariff revenues when looking at how to pay for their planned income tax cuts. Reality can now anchor negotiationsTaisu Zhang, a law professor who studies comparative legal and economic history at Yale University, said the chaos from last month probably was not for nothing. Both countries were testing their strengths, with Trump stressing the importance that foreign companies placed on accessing U.S. consumers and China emphasizing its resilience to an external shock.As recently as February, both sides probably harbored unrealistic assumptions about each others economic or political weaknesses or intents, Zhang said. The Americans had an exaggerated sense of their own bargaining power to begin with, and the Chinese may have had an exaggerated sense of their security from American economic pressure.The best thing to come out of this agreement, therefore, seems to be a stronger sense of reality on both sides, Zhang said. In that, Zhang said, it looks like the goals of the two countries align, with China consuming more and the U.S. manufacturing more. The stock market loved the news and could shape what happens nextThe world has seen that Trump remains wary of getting on the wrong side of the financial markets. When his initial April 2 announcement of higher tariff rates fueled a selloff in stocks and rising interest rates on U.S. debt, he retreated by announcing his 90-day suspension of tariffs so that talks could proceed with nations other than China.The S&P 500 stock index jumped 3.3% in Monday trading, helping validate the Trump administrations decision to lower tariff rates so that talks could proceed. Beware of the bullwhip effectIf Trumps 145% tariffs caused fewer boats to leave for U.S. ports, the prospect of a slightly lower tariff rate might cause a stampede of shipping containers to flow across the ocean from China. The possibility of fewer ships from China had raised the risk of empty shelves at U.S. stores, a phenomenon last seen during the COVID-19 pandemic that led to spiking prices and voter frustration.But with the fast pivot to a lower tariff rate, the freight sitting in warehouses and factories in Asia can now be hurried onto cargo ships, causing the price of transporting those goods to rise sharply and producing congestion at ports. There is absolutely going to be a bullwhip effect in which the shortages now turn into a rush of new supply as companies try to beat the prospect of higher tariffs returning, said Michael Starr, vice president of growth at the logistics company Zencargo.They can now start shipping for the holiday season, Starr said. Theyre going to rush as many orders out in these 90 days as possible. And yes, the vessels cannot come back as quickly into service as the freight can.Theres little to no certainty about whats aheadUniversity of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers stressed that many people would see the 90-day talks as a short-term positive because moving tariffs from prohibitive and insane to merely very high is good news. But over the course of the past four months of the Trump administration, the president has floated 100% import taxes on movies made overseas, threatened Canada and Greenland with annexation and shown a relative indifference to the possible financial pain from his actions.So if you were to look back over those last 120 days, you would say, for as much optimism as you might feel right now, it would be crazy to feel optimistic about anything, Wolfers said. The U.S. economy could still end up hurtingA problem for Trump is that businesses have already made plans for the 145% tariffs he announced earlier and might be hesitant to revise them until any permanent policies are set.Its possible that a resilient job market can take the hits from tariffs without cracking much, just as it survived Federal Reserve rate hikes under Democratic President Joe Biden that were designed to bring down inflation. But 30% tariffs are still a cost for businesses and consumers to absorb and that might prevent many companies from hiring and expanding their operations.Maybe some of those could live with 30%, at least for a while, said Kevin Rinz, a senior fellow at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. But in 90 days, what are tariffs with China going to be? Will they go up or down from 30%? If up, how far? I have no idea, and if I were a firm that relies on imports from China, that would cause paralysis.Rinz, who worked as an economist in the Obama and Biden administrations, tried to model the impact of the labor market based on Trumps own premise that any short-term pain from tariffs would eventually result in long-term gains. His analysis found a drop in hiring.It turns out, that scenario looks a lot like a recession over the next few years, Rinz said.

President Donald Trump answers a reporter's question during an event in the Roosevelt Room at the White House, Monday, May 12, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2025-05-12T21:06:54Z WASHINGTON (AP) For President Donald Trump, accepting a free Air Force One replacement from Qatar is a no-brainer.I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer, the Republican told reporters on Monday. I could be a stupid person and say, No, we dont want a free, very expensive airplane.Critics of the plan worry that the move threatens to turn a global symbol of American power into an airborne collection of ethical, legal, security and counterintelligence concerns. This is unprecedented, said Jessica Levinson, a constitutional law expert at Loyola Law School. We just havent tested these boundaries before.Trump tried to tamp down some of the opposition by saying he wouldnt fly around in the gifted Boeing 747 when his term ends. Instead, he said, the $400 million plane would be donated to a future presidential library, similar to how the Boeing 707 used by President Ronald Reagan was decommissioned and put on display as a museum piece. It would go directly to the library after I leave office, Trump said. I wouldnt be using it.However, that did little to quell the controversy over the plane. Democrats are united in outrage, and even some of the Republican presidents allies are worried. Laura Loomer, an outspoken conspiracy theorist who has tried to purge disloyal officials from the administration, wrote on social media that she would take a bullet for Trump but said shes so disappointed.Trump will likely face persistent questions about the plane in the coming days as he travels to the Middle East, including a stop in Qatar. Why does Trump want the Qatari plane?The two planes currently used as Air Force One have been flying for nearly four decades, and Trump is eager to replace them. During his first term, he displayed a model of a new jumbo jet in the Oval Office, complete with a revised paint scheme that echoed the red, white and dark blue design of his personal plane. Boeing has been working on retrofitting 747s that were originally built for a now-defunct Russian airliner. But the program has faced nearly a decade of delays with perhaps more on the way from a series of issues, including a critical subcontractors bankruptcy and the difficulty of finding and retaining qualified staff who could be awarded high-level security clearances.The new planes arent due to be finished until near the end of Trumps term, and hes out of patience. He has described the situation as a total mess, and he has complained that Air Force One isnt as nice as the planes flown by some Arab leaders. Its not even the same ballgame, he said. Trump said Qatar, which hosts the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, offered a replacement plane that could be used while the government was waiting for Boeing to finish. We give free things out, he said. Well take one, too.He bristled at suggestions that he should turn down the plane, comparing the potential gift to favors on the golf course.When they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole and you say, Thank you very much, he said. Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota expressed skepticism.I understand his frustration. Theyre way behind schedule on delivering the next Air Force One, the Republican told reporters. Whether or not this is the right solution or not, I dont know.Will the new plane be secure?The Qatari plane has been described as a palace in the sky, complete with luxurious accommodations and top-of-the-line finishes. But security is the primary concern when it comes to presidential travel. The current Air Force One planes were built from scratch near the end of the Cold War. They are hardened against the effects of a nuclear blast and include a range of security features, such as anti-missile countermeasures and an onboard operating room. They are also equipped with air-to-air refueling capabilities for contingencies, though it has never been utilized with a president on board. A former U.S. official briefed on the Air Force One replacement project said that while it would be possible to add some features to the Qatari jet, there was no way to add the full suite of capabilities to the plane on a tight timetable. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive program, said it would be a risk for presidents to fly on such a jet.One of the most important features of Air Force One is the communications capabilities. Presidents can use the plane as a flying Situation Room, allowing them to respond to crises anywhere on the globe. However, on Sept. 11, 2001, Republican President George W. Bush was frustrated by communications issues and ordered up massive technology upgrades over subsequent years to improve the presidents ability to monitor events and communicate with people around the world.The new ones under development by Boeing are being stripped down so workers can replace the standard wiring with shielded cabling. Theyre also modifying the jet with an array of classified security measures and communications capabilities. Because of the high standards for ensuring a president can communicate clearly and securely, there are fears that Trump would be compromising safety by rushing to modify the Qatari jet. Disassembling and evaluating the plane for collection/spy devices will take years, William Evanina, who served as director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center during Trumps first term, wrote on social media. He said the plane should be considered nothing more than a gracious presidential museum piece. Is any of this legal or ethical?Even for a president who has blurred traditional lines around public service and personal gain, Trumps plans to receive a jumbo jet as a gift has rattled Washington. The Constitution prohibits federal officials from accepting things of value, or emoluments, from foreign governments without congressional approval.This is a classic example of what the founders worried about, said Richard Painter, a law professor at the University of Minnesota and former White House ethics chief under Bush. But I dont think the founders anticipated it would get this bad.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Monday that the details of the donation are still being worked out but would be done in full compliance with the law.She dismissed idea the idea that Qatar wanted to influence Trump.They know President Trump, and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind, she said.Trump faced a legal fight over emoluments during his first term, when he opened the doors of his D.C. hotel to lobbyists, business executives and diplomats. His lawyers argued that the founders didnt intend to ban transactions representing an exchange of a service like hotel space for money, only outright gifts. But some ethics lawyers disagreed, and its not clear if Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and other countries were paying full price or more for when they used the hotel.In his second term, Trumps family business has been very busy overseas. In December, it struck a deal for two Trump-branded real estate projects in Riyadh with a Saudi firm that two years earlier it had partnered with for a Trump golf resort and villas in Oman. And in Qatar, the Trump Organization announced last month another Trump branded resort along the coast.Four Democratic senators on the Foreign Relations Committee Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Chris Coons of Delaware, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Chris Murphy of Connecticut issued a statement saying Trumps plan creates a clear conflict of interest, raises serious national security questions, invites foreign influence, and undermines public trust in our government. No one not even the president is above the law, they said. ___Condon reported from New York. Associated Press writers Matt Brown, Lolita Baldor and Mary Clare Jalonick contributed to this report.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers use a chain to more comfortably restrain a detained person using handcuffs positioned in front, Jan. 27, 2025, in Silver Spring, Md. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, file)2025-05-12T21:45:25Z A federal judge on Monday refused to block the Internal Revenue Service from sharing immigrants tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the purpose of identifying and deporting people illegally in the U.S. In a win for the Trump administration, U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich denied a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by nonprofit groups. They argued that undocumented immigrants who pay taxes are entitled to the same privacy protections as U.S. citizens and immigrants who are legally in the country.Friedrich, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, had previously refused to grant a temporary order in the case. The decision comes less than a month after former acting IRS commissioner Melanie Krause resigned over the deal allowing ICE to submit names and addresses of immigrants inside the U.S. illegally to the IRS for cross-verification against tax records. The IRS has been in upheaval over Trump administration decisions to share taxpayer data. A previous acting commissioner announced his retirement earlier amid a furor over Elon Musks Department of Government Efficiency gaining access to IRS taxpayer data. The Treasury Department says the agreement with ICE will help carry out President Donald Trumps agenda to secure U.S. borders and is part of his larger nationwide immigration crackdown, which has resulted in deportations, workplace raids and the use of an 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants. The acting ICE director has said working with Treasury and other departments is strictly for the major criminal cases.Advocates, however, say the IRS-DHS information-sharing agreement violates privacy laws and diminishes the privacy of all Americans.

A sign marks the entrance to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, on Oct. 8, 2013. (AP Photo/David Goldman, File)2025-05-12T14:51:58Z A listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat sandwiches and snacks has sickened at least 10 people in the U.S., and a producer is voluntarily recalling dozens of products sold to retail stores, hospitals, hotels, airports and airlines, federal officials said.The products were made by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC and were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. Those who fell ill and were hospitalized were in California and Nevada. The outbreak has been simmering for many months: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said cases date to December 2023.Listeria poisoning is caused by a particularly resilient type of bacteria that can survive and grow even during refrigeration. About 1,600 people are infected with it and 260 die each year in the U.S., according to the CDC. Heres what you need to know: What was recalled?The voluntary recall covers more than 80 specific products distributed between April 18 and April 25. The products have Use By dates from April 22 to May 19.Brand names include: Fresh & Ready Foods, City Point Market Fresh Food to Go and Fresh Take Crave Away.Federal officials say anyone with the products should throw them away or return them. They also suggest cleaning any surfaces that touched the recalled foods. Where does listeria come from?Listeria bacteria thrive in moist environments, including soil and water and decaying vegetation and are carried by some animals. The hardy germs are typically spread when food is harvested, processed, transported or stored in places that are contaminated with the bacteria. When the bacteria get into a food processing plant, they can be tough to eradicate.What are the symptoms of listeria?Foods contaminated with the bacteria can make people sick. Symptoms can be mild and include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. More serious illness can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Listeria poisoning is tricky because symptoms can start quickly, within a few hours or days after eating contaminated food. But they also can take weeks or up to three months to show up.Those most vulnerable to getting sick include the very young, people older than 65 and those with weakened immune systems or who are pregnant. Does cooking kill listeria? Listeria can survive and grow in refrigerated food. It can be killed by heating foods to steaming hot, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius), the CDC says. But thats not always possible or palatable for foods that are made to be eaten cold.Because listeria can survive under refrigeration, its important to clean and sanitize any surfaces, including refrigerator drawers and shelves, that may have come in contact with the products. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institutes Science and Educational Media Group.
