Airbus Backs European Tariffs on Boeing If Talks With US Fail
'Europe is in negotiations, and if these negotiations do not lead to a positive outcome, I imagine that — and this is what we hope for — reciprocal tariffs on aircrafts will be imposed to force a higher level of negotiation and return to the 1979 agreement,' he told reporters at an event in Paris. 'This would be good for both the US and European industries.'

Stelco owner 'doesn't give two hoots' about the workers: Ontario Premier Doug Ford
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the head of the company that owns Hamilton-based steel company Stelco "doesn't give two hoots" about those workers. Lourenco Goncalves, the president and CEO of Cleveland-Cliffs, has spoken positively about U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on steel, including doubling them from 25 to 50 per cent. Earlier this week Goncalves said in a press release that he applauded the U.S. Department of Commerce's move to expand the scope of steel and aluminum tariffs. At a press conference today, Ford said Stelco should find a new owner because the current one does not support its workers. Cleveland-Cliffs did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The premier was in Hamilton to announce $70 million worth of funding for training and employment services for workers in industries affected by U.S. tariffs.

Bugatti Is Sold Out Until 2029
The automotive industry is volatile. Emerging technologies, changing government regulations, tariffs, and fickle consumer trends make planning for the next model year a Herculean effort of hope and stress. It's why so many automakers play it safe with their products, but there are outliers, like Bugatti . Demand for the brand's newest hypercars is so high that any potential buyers will have to wait years for their car, if they can order one at all. And that's good for the bespoke automaker. Bugatti's design director, Frank Heyl, told CarBuzz that the brand has so many orders that it makes it easy for Bugatti to 'plan ahead.' 'It's all set,' he said. Heyl told the publication that finishing up Bolide production and beginning to build the Tourbillon would keep it busy for the next four years and that it's sold out until 2029. 'If you have this [financial stability] as a business owner, it works out very solid,' he said. That gives Bugatti plenty of time to figure out what comes after the Tourbillon , a hybrid hypercar with three electric motors and an 8.4-liter V-16 engine. It makes 1,800 horsepower , which can propel the car to 60 miles per hour in just 2.0 seconds. It also costs around $4 million to start, but good luck getting one. If you have the cash for that kind of performance, and haven't already placed your Tourbillon order, you'll have to set a reminder for 2029 to see what Bugatti cooks up next. The company has plenty of time to figure it out, and we're already excited to see it.

New tariffs are generating billions of dollars in revenue, but Bessent says that will go toward paying national debt
Source: CNN Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday threw cold water on the idea that Americans could soon receive tariff rebate checks. Bessent, during an interview on CNBC's 'Squawk Box,' said that revenue from import tariffs will be put toward the US national debt. 'I think, at a point, we're going to be able to do it,' he said, noting how S&P Global on Monday affirmed its AA+ credit rating on the United States. 'But President [Donald] Trump and I are laser-focused on paying down the debt.' Some lawmakers have proposed using tariff revenue to send rebate checks of at least $600 per adult and dependent child. A family of four could end up with around $2,400 from the federal government. The United States has collected $100 billion in tariff revenue since April, when a large swath of Trump's global tariffs went into effect, according to Treasury Department data through July. Trump, in touting the potential revenue from import taxes, has floated a couple of uses for those funds: First, to pay down the nation's massive debt, but also to potentially give 'a dividend' to the American people. Bessent on Tuesday said that tariff revenue is on pace to exceed expectations. 'I'd been saying that tariff revenue could be $300 billion this year,' he said. 'I'm going to have to raise that up substantially. I think that we're going to bring down the deficit-to-GDP, we'll start paying down debt, and then, at a point, that can be used as an offset to the American people.' Bessent declined to provide details about how much higher revenues are expected to climb, other than saying it would be 'substantial.' Still, Bessent said he hopes there could be relief coming for Americans via lower interest rates. The Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady since December of last year. The probability of a September rate cut has risen following a July jobs report that showed lackluster employment gains during the past three months, but those odds dropped from nearly 100% to the 80% realm after the latest batch of inflation data, released last week, showed a pickup in some price hikes both for businesses and consumers. Bessent on Tuesday largely dismissed the gains, noting that a large portion of the pickup in the Producer Price Index's inflation gauge was because of stock market gains. 'The real problem here is we're seeing some distributional aspects to the higher rates, especially in housing and for lower-income households with high credit card debt,' he said. 'We're seeing this big [capital expenditures] boom, part of it is AI, part of it is the tax bill, and so capex is doing well; but households, home building is struggling.' Bessent added that the Fed lowering rates could facilitate a pickup in home building, which, in turn, could help lower prices in the longer run. 'If we keep constraining home building, what kind of inflation does that create one or two years out?' he added. July data from the US Census Bureau showed that the amount of new home construction ticked up significantly above expectations last month, rising 5.2% from June at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.428 million. Economists expected a 0.3% increase at a rate of 1.31 million. Housing starts had been weak in the three months prior to July. See Full Web Article
