GM CEO backs Trump's auto tariffs as a tool to help US manufacturers
General Motors CEO Mary Barra is voicing support for the Trump administration's automotive tariffs, arguing they allow U.S. automakers to compete more fairly in the international market. "For decades now, it has not been a level playing field for U.S. automakers globally with either tariffs or non-tariff trade barriers," Barra, chair and CEO of General Motors, said at The Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything conference Wednesday. "I think tariffs are one tool that the administration can use to level the playing field." On Thursday, a federal appeals court made the decision to allow U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs to remain in effect temporarily. In response to Trump's 25% tariff on all imported automobiles and automobile parts, General Motors is continuing to take steps to strengthen its North American manufacturing. Trump Tariffs Face Legal Battle As Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Blocks Trade Ruling "We already were on a process to have more resiliency in this country, and we're just going to continue on that as we move forward," Barra told "The Claman Countdown" Thursday. Read On The Fox Business App Gm To Pour $888M Into Building New V-8 Engine In New York General Motors, headquartered in Detroit, forecast earlier this month a hit of up to $5 billion in 2025 from the auto tariffs. However, Barra said the company is working to leverage some excess capacity it has in the U.S., including through an $888 million investment at a New York propulsion plant to create a next-generation V-8 engine. "We're investing in this country, and we're making those decisions as we go," she said. "Just under $900 million. [It's] the most significant engine investment we've made in history." Gm Ceo Breaks Silence Over Tariff Pressure And What It Means For Your Wallet Over the last five years, after the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent global semiconductor shortage, the multinational automaker has also moved more than 25% of its supply chain to the U.S. Fewer than 3% of the automaker's direct parts now come from China, she said. Earlier this month, GM also made the move to stop exporting some vehicles to China from the U.S. "There's still more deals to do, so we're waiting for that," she said. "But there are certain moves that we're already making to strengthen our North American manufacturing, because we can do that with the clarity we already have." However, as General Motors increases its U.S. investment, Barra is not making any promises when it comes to vehicle pricing for consumers. Pricing has always been dynamic, with new features and options constantly emerging, she said. "I'm saying it's a dynamic situation, and we're going even before the word tariff was something we talked about a lot," Barra said. "We're going to work to make sure we remain competitive, but I'm very pleased that the strength of our products (is) driving consumer interest."Original article source: GM CEO backs Trump's auto tariffs as a tool to help US manufacturers Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Trump's Lawyers Claim Kamala Harris' '60 Minutes' Interview Caused Him 'Mental Anguish'
President Donald Trump has apparently suffered from 'mental anguish' as a result of a CBS News '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris last year, his lawyers alleged in court documents. Trump's attorneys made the claim Wednesday in a motion to deny Paramount Global's request to dismiss Trump's lawsuit, which First Amendment experts have called 'frivolous and dangerous,' against CBS over the editing of the interview. (Paramount Global is the parent company of CBS.) In the October-filed lawsuit obtained by HuffPost, Trump accuses the network of 'partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.' This, according to the suit, was exhibited through two slightly differing clips of Harris discussing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with journalist Bill Whitaker. According to court documents filed Wednesday, Trump's attorneys claim 'this led to widespread confusion and mental anguish of consumers, including plaintiffs, regarding a household name of the legacy media apparently deceptively distorting its broadcasts, and then resisting attempts to clear the public record.' The interview 'forced' Trump to 'redirect significant time, money and effort to correcting the public record,' the document said. The motion also called the president a 'content creator,' whose content creation 'was damaged by the attention diverted to Defendants' distorted programming.' The network maintains that the interview was 'not doctored or deceitful.' 'In reporting the news, journalists regularly edit interviews – for time, space or clarity. In making these edits, 60 Minutes is always guided by the truth and what we believe will be most informative to the viewing public – all while working within the constraints of broadcast television,' CBS said in a February statement. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the president turned down a $15 million settlement offer, which falls short of his desired compensation: more than $25 million and a CBS News apology. The president has also threatened to file another lawsuit against the company over what he claims is biased reporting, according to the WSJ. Trump has repeatedly gone after '60 Minutes' and has so far unsuccessfully called on CBS to lose its broadcast license on multiple occasions. In one of his countless social media rants in April, he slammed the show after choosing to hate-watch it. 'They are not a 'News Show,' but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as 'News,' and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,' the president wrote at the time. 'They should lose their license!' At least two top executives, including CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon and '60 Minutes' executive producer Bill Owens, have stepped down as the network seeks to make a deal with Trump.

Trump administration report on US child health cited nonexistent studies, media report says
By Renee Hickman (Reuters) -A U.S. government report on the health of American children cited scientific studies that did not exist to support its conclusions, according to a media report and some of the purported study authors on Thursday. The report produced by the Make America Healthy Again Commission, named after a movement aligned with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, was released last week. It said processed food, chemicals, stress and overprescription of medications and vaccines may be factors behind chronic illness in American children, citing some 500 research studies as evidence. Digital news outlet NOTUS reported the citation errors, saying on Thursday it found seven studies listed in the report's footnotes that did not exist, along with broken links and misstated conclusions. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters that any citation errors were due to "formatting issues." The government said it posted a corrected version of the report later on Thursday. "The substance of the MAHA report remains the same - a historic and transformative assessment by the federal government to understand the chronic disease epidemic afflicting our nation's children," the Department of Health and Human Services said. Katherine Keyes, an epidemiology professor at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, was cited in the report as the author of "Changes in mental health and substance use among US adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic," which the report said was published in the medical journal JAMA Pediatrics. She said that neither she nor the named co-authors of the paper had written it. "It does make me concerned given that citation practices are an important part of conducting and reporting rigorous science," she said. Psychiatry Professor Robert L. Findling did not author the article cited in the report as "Direct-to-consumer advertising of psychotropic medications for youth: A growing concern" in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, according to a spokesperson for Virginia Commonwealth University, where Findling is a professor. Kennedy has spent decades sowing doubt about the safety of vaccines, raising concerns within the scientific and medical communities over the policies he would pursue as health secretary. Since taking the role, he has fired thousands of workers at federal health agencies and cut billions of dollars from U.S. biomedical research spending. The studies attributed to Findling and Keyes no longer appeared in the MAHA report on the White House website as of Thursday evening.
