Trump says tariff relief possible if EU opens market to US firms
24 July 2025 08:34 WASHINGTON (DPA)US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States is prepared to lower tariffs on European goods if the European Union opens its market further to US companies."If they agree to open up the union to American businesses, then we will let them pay a lower tariff," Trump said at an AI-focused event, referring to the ongoing negotiations with the EU. He added that serious talks were currently US has been negotiating with the EU for weeks on a trade deal to prevent US tariffs of 30% on imports from the bloc from taking effect on August German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and French President Emmanuel Macron presented a united front during talks in Berlin on Wednesday, signalling that the EU is prepared to respond if negotiations with Washington government spokesman Stefan Kornelius said the two leaders agreed to keep the option of additional trade measures on the table should talks with the US fail. He added that Merz and Macron were also prepared to devise new instruments, if necessary. Kornelius said Germany and France also plan to closely coordinate with Italy and the European Commission as the talks with Washington enter their final phase.

AI and gravity-defying US GDP: Mike Dolan
(The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters) LONDON - For the second time in three years - and straddling two separate presidencies - heightened U.S. fears of recession have proved wide of the mark. The artificial intelligence boom is once again the prime suspect. The AI explosion and arms race since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in November 2022 had its own mini crisis of confidence earlier this year with the emergence of China's cheaper DeepSeek rival. But neither those doubts nor the market angst about President Donald Trump's tariff war seems to have slowed the staggering capital spend and data center building supporting the AI push. As the brave new world of generative AI enters its third year, the financial impact has expanded well beyond the share price of chipmakers, as data center construction and capex spending more broadly are flattering U.S. GDP to a remarkable degree. Carlyle's Head Investment Strategist Jason Thomas has been arguing all year that this capex spending is an effective re-industrialization of corporate America, reshaping its focus away from software and intangible assets and toward investing in plants and machinery and energy like never before. The GDP impact from that is huge. RE-INDUSTRIALIZE AND BORROW Thomas reckons the AI-related capex boom – in data centers, graphics processing units, server infrastructure, power and related hardware and applications – already accounts for more than one-third of this year's second-quarter U.S. GDP growth. And he points out that order books in the relevant industries continue to grow at annual rates of more than 40%. With Q2 GDP data due out next week expected to show annualized growth of 2.5%, that's a sizeable AI tailwind. The scale of AI-related spending that has already occurred suggests that these are not just finger-in-the-wind estimates. Spending on physical data center infrastructure alone is up fourfold from 2020 levels, offsetting weakness in other construction categories. Among AI chip giant Nvidia's top U.S. customers, Thomas writes, capex has grown 1.5 times as fast as revenue. Property, plant and equipment now account for 70% of typical book value for these firms, up from just 20% before the GenAI scramble began. The big question remains whether AI's contribution to economic growth is now peaking - even if that's difficult to deduce given the hype and optimism around the sector and evidence of robust chip demand growth worldwide. FINANCING GAP But Morgan Stanley this week analyzed this question by considering the borrowing needed to finance the ongoing AI infrastructure and data center buildout. Analysts Vishwanath Tirupattur and Vishwas Patkar forecast roughly $2.9 trillion of additional global data center spending through 2028, comprising $1.6 trillion on chips and servers and $1.3 trillion on real estate, building costs and maintenance. For context, that suggests an annual global outlay over the next three years that's close to the $950 billion spent by all S&P 500 firms combined last year. While some of this can be funded with cash, Morgan Stanley estimates that a $1.5 trillion financing gap remains, which will have to be raised via debt, likely a mix of loans, bonds, asset-backed securities and private funding. On top of this, they reckon that investment spending related to data center construction and power generation will add up to 0.4 percentage points to U.S. GDP through this year and next. Once again, AI is helping frustrate all other macro bets. And megacap quarterly earnings due over the coming weeks will again be examined forensically for signs of a sting in the tail.
