Bloomberg News White House Editor Jordan Fabian on Trump's 25% Tariff Threat on Apple CFO Briefing: Jill Woodworth, Chief Financial Officer of Prenuvo and Bloomberg News Senior Editor Nina Trentmann Rod Baltzer, Chief Executive Officer of Deep Isolation and Bloomberg News Energy Reporter Will Wade
President Donald Trump said that the tariffs he threatened against Apple Inc. earlier Friday would also be aimed at a wider range of device makers including Samsung Electronics Co. to spur them into moving manufacturing of their products to the US.
“It would be more,” Trump said when asked at the White House whether his tariff threat would only apply to Apple. “It would be also Samsung and anybody that makes that product, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair.” Trump indicated that the import levies would be “appropriately done” and ready for implementation by the end of June but provided no other details.
The president’s remarks clarified his social media post from earlier in the day warning that Apple would face tariffs of 25% if the Cupertino, California-based company failed to shift production of its iconic iPhone to the US from overseas. The warning came days after a Tuesday meeting between Trump and Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook at the White House, a US official said.
“He said he’s going to India to build plants. I said, that’s okay to go to India, but you’re not going to sell into here without tariffs, and that’s the way it is,” Trump said. Apple’s stock fell as much as 3.9% in New York trading. Separately Friday, Trump also threatened a 50% tariff on the European Union that would go into effect June 1, which weighed on the broader market.

Ben Reinhardt, CEO of Speculative Technologies and Businessweek Contributing Writer, breaks down how the US should study China's playbook, create new manufacturing paradigms, and preserve American strengths, such as its scientific and technological leadership and its relationships with allies.
He argues this can be achieved by attracting foreign investment, building industrial hubs, developing new technologies like artificial intelligence, and fostering a welcoming environment for skilled immigrants, rather than relying on tariffs and isolationist policiesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bloomberg Team Leader for DC Breaking News Kasia Klimashinska on US Bans Harvard From Enrolling Foreigners Bloomberg News Finance Reporter Max Abelson on the Bloomberg Big Take: The Trump Family’s Money-Making Machine Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Finance Analyst Ben Elliott Drive to the Close with Kathy Jones, Chief Fixed Income Strategist, Schwab Center for Financial Research
The Trump Administration blocked Harvard University from enrolling international students, delivering a major blow to the school and escalating its fight with elite colleges to unprecedented levels.
The US revoked Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification, meaning foreign students can no longer attend the university. Existing international students must transfer or lose their legal status, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Thursday.
“Harvard’s leadership has created an unsafe campus environment by permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise obstruct its once-venerable learning environment,” according to the statement. The blockade on international student enrollment will compound the financial pressures for Harvard. The Trump administration has frozen more than $2.6 billion of Harvard’s funding and cut off future grants in an increasingly contentious standoff over the school’s handling of alleged antisemitism on campus and government demands for more oversight.
Trump has also called for the institution to lose its tax-exempt status, a move that the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school has cautioned would have “grave consequences for the future of higher education in America.”
Harvard responded by calling the government’s latest action unlawful.

Matthew Skaruppa, Chief Financial Officer of Duolingo, details the language-learning platform's push into artificial intelligence.
A Bloomberg Intelligence analysis indicates Duolingo's AI investments and expansion into math, music and chess lessons have the potential to attract more users to the platform and maintain its downloads lead in the large and fragmented language-learning market. Underpinned by the Duolingo Max subscription tier and its realistic speaking exercises, revenue could gain 33-35% in the next 12-18 months, based on our calculation and consensus.
New subscribers, pricing leverage and recent changes to Apple's App Store policy may somewhat offset the cost of AI enhancements, supporting margins and sustainable growth.
Skaruppa will also be featured on the latest installment for the Bloomberg TV series, “Chief Future Officer.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wall Street’s worries about a ballooning deficit that threatens America’s status as a safe haven were reflected in a $16 billion Treasury sale that saw lackluster demand - with stocks, bonds and the dollar falling.
Treasuries got hit after a weak auction of 20-year bonds, whose 5% coupon rate was the highest since the tenor was reintroduced in 2020. Long-term debt bore the brunt of the selling, with 30-year yields jumping over 10 basis points. The equity market saw its worst session in a month, with the S&P 500’s slide topping 1.5%.The greenback dropped against most major currencies. Bitcoin pared its advance, but was still set for a record.
Traders have been piling into bets that long-term bond yields would surge on concerns over the US’s swelling debt and deficits, with Moody’s Ratings on Friday lowering the nation’s credit score below the top triple-A level. For many, the message was: Unless America gets its finances in order, the perceived risks of lending to the government will rise.

The White House amped up the pressure on Republicans on Wednesday urging lawmakers to quickly approve President Donald Trump’s signature tax bill, adding that a failure to do so would be the “ultimate betrayal.”

Jennifer Grancio, head of ETFs at TCW, discusses investment options through ETFs amid market volatility and the trade war.
Wall Street’s rally took a breather on Tuesday, with stocks falling as traders awaited fresh catalysts after a six-day run that put the S&P 500 up almost 20% from its April lows. The US equity benchmark lost steam following an $8.6 trillion surge.
Long-term Treasury yields climbed as fractious US budget negotiations kept focus on the growth in deficit spending. President Donald Trump is growing frustrated with demands to significantly boost the cap on the state and local tax deduction, according to a senior administration official, signaling a deadlock as Republicans aim to quickly pass a giant tax-cut bill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elon Musk said he’s committed to still leading Tesla Inc. five years from now and expects to pare back his political spending, assuaging some investors’ concerns about the future of his most valuable company.
The billionaire offered new details about his plans in a wide-ranging interview with Bloomberg News that also touched on his compensation, Tesla’s sliding sales and a possible spinoff of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite business. Musk repeated his criticisms of a familiar cast of characters, from Bill Gates to the Delaware judge who’s twice ruled against his massive Tesla pay package.
Musk, whose $375.5 billion fortune leads the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, reiterated that he wants to own more shares of Tesla for reasons of authority, rather than wealth.
“It’s not a money thing,” he said during a remote appearance Tuesday at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha. “It’s a reasonable control thing, over the future of the company.”
Musk has been chief executive officer of Tesla since 2008, one of the longest active stints atop the world’s largest automakers. His level of engagement with the company has come under greater scrutiny as the carmaker has followed up its first annual sales drop in over a decade with steeper declines early this year.
Musk, 53, downplayed the extent of Tesla’s challenges, saying that “it’s already turned around.” When pressed about this — the carmaker’s vehicle sales continued to plunge across Europe’s biggest electric vehicle markets in April — the CEO said that the region is the company’s weakest, but that it’s strong elsewhere.

The US was stripped of its last top credit rating by Moody’s Ratings, reflecting deepening concern that ballooning debt and deficits will damage America’s standing as the preeminent destination for global capital and increase the government’s borrowing costs.
Moody’s lowered the US credit score to Aa1 from Aaa on Friday, joining Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings in grading the world’s biggest economy below the top, triple-A position. The one-notch cut comes more than a year after Moody’s changed its outlook on the US rating to negative. The credit assessor now has a stable outlook.
“While we recognize the US’ significant economic and financial strengths, we believe these no longer fully counterbalance the decline in fiscal metrics,” Moody’s wrote in a statement. Moody’s blamed successive administrations and Congress for swelling budget deficits that it said show little sign of abating. On Friday lawmakers in Washington continued to work towards a massive tax-and-spending bill that’s expected to add trillions to the federal debt over the coming years.

A key House committee on Friday failed to advance House Republicans’ massive tax-and-spending bill after hard-line conservatives bucked President Donald Trump and blocked the bill over cost concerns.
The House Budget Committee rejected the bill 21-16, with Republican Representatives Chip Roy, Ralph Norman, Josh Brecheen, and Andrew Clyde joining Democrats to vote against it. The four hardliners demanded deeper cuts to Medicaid and other government programs.
It’s incredibly rare for bills to fail at this step in the process, with the committee vote typically serving as a rubber-stamp to the bill before it moves to the House floor.
Negotiations will continue through the weekend, with the committee planning to meet again late Sunday night.
In deal news, Charter Communications Inc. has agreed to combine with closely held Cox Communications in a cash-and-stock deal that would unite two of the biggest US cable providers. The takeover values Cox at about $34.5 billion including debt, the companies said in a statement Friday, confirming an earlier Bloomberg News report. The deal includes about $12.6 billion of net debt and $21.9 billion in equity, the companies said. The combined company would be the top broadband operator in the US, and increase Charter’s subscriber base by more than 20%, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Geetha Ranganathan. It also comes at a time when cable companies are facing increasing competition.

Danone responded in a statement issued to Bloomberg that "there is no ‘raid’ or ‘hostile bid,’ since Lifeway's board decided in November 2024 to reject Danone's highly attractive $27-per-share acquisition proposal, depriving Lifeway's shareholders of a very significant premium."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coinbase Global Inc. is cooperating with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on an agency probe into its previously reported user metrics, the company said Thursday.
“This is a hold-over investigation from the prior administration about a metric we stopped reporting two and a half years ago, which was fully disclosed to the public,” Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s chief legal officer, said in a statement. “While we strongly believe this investigation should not continue, we remain committed to working with the SEC to bring this matter to a close.”
Grewal noted that Coinbase’s “verified users metric” might have overstated the number of unique customers and that the company continues to disclose “the more relevant metric of ‘monthly transacting users’” on the platform. The SEC declined to comment.
Meanwhile, it turns out that hackers had near-constant access to some of Coinbase’s most valuable customer data since January, according to a person familiar with the incident who asked not to be named discussing company matters.
The largest US crypto exchange disclosed earlier on Thursday that hackers bribed customer representatives to steal the data and then demanded a $20 million ransom to delete it. Coinbase began noticing unusual activity from some of these representatives in January, the company confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg News.
The hackers bribed customer service representatives to get access to names, dates of birth, addresses, nationalities, government-issued ID numbers, some banking details and details about when customer’s accounts were created and their balance, the person familiar with the situation said. This information could be used to attempt to impersonate Coinbase and convince customers to let the hackers into their account. It could also be used to impersonate the victims with other service providers to attempt to convince them to let hackers into other financial accounts they might own.
The threat actors had bribed enough customer service representatives to achieve effectively on-demand access to Coinbase customer information in the past five months, the person said. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Chief Security Officer Philip Martin disputed the near constant access assertion, saying Coinbase pulled the agents’ access as soon as it was discovered they were improperly sharing information. Therefore the hackers “did not have persistent access over the course of the entire period,” he said.Today's show features:

The White House said President Donald Trump had secured deals totaling more than $243.5 billion with Qatar, laying the groundwork for a bigger $1.2 trillion economic pledge with the tiny Gulf country.
“The landmark deals celebrated today will drive innovation and prosperity for generations, bolster American manufacturing and technological leadership, and put America on the path to a new Golden Age,” the White House said.
The announcement came on the second leg of Trump’s swing through the Middle East, a day after the president touted some $600 billion in investments by Saudi Arabia in US manufacturing, products and services.
Trump has focused much of his energy on the trip in securing investment dollars, while praising Gulf states for seeking a deeper partnership with the US.
Trump’s take so far has fallen short of his ambitions for an even bigger haul; the president had floated the possibility of securing $1 trillion in investment pledges from Saudi companies and on Tuesday said the two nations would work toward that goal.
Earlier Wednesday, the White House announced that Qatar Airways had inked a $96 billion plan to acquire as many as 210 Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft. The White House cast the buy as the largest-ever widebody order and the largest-ever for the 787s.

Managing Director and Head of iShares US Fixed Income Strategy at BlackRock Bloomberg News Investigations Reporter Rachel Adams Heard
President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman touted a pledge for $1 trillion in commercial deals in Riyadh on Tuesday, a staggering figure that doesn’t quite stand up to scrutiny.
“With the help of the people of the Middle East, the people in this room, partners throughout the region, the golden age of the Middle East can proceed right alongside of us,” Trump said at a Saudi-US investment summit to announce the planned deals. “We will work together. We will be together. We will succeed together. We will win together, and we will always be friends.”
But the glitzy event — where top officials and corporate executives including billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk and Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang sat in armchairs, serenaded by Trump’s typical rally soundtrack — sets up a test for the US president and Saudi crown prince, who have struggled at times to match their rhetoric with reality.
Both leaders claimed Saudi Arabia would invest $1 trillion in the US, but signage at the conference put the cumulative total of the deals as actually worth over $300 billion. Hours earlier, the White House cited a $600 billion investment. The discrepancy is significant: The $1 trillion figure roughly matches Saudi Arabia’s entire gross domestic product.
