Lower UK-US Car Tariffs Take Effect, Without Progress on Steel
UK car manufacturers can export to the US under a 10% tariff starting Monday, a reduction from the 25% rate imposed by Donald Trump on other countries, as the first elements of an economic agreement between the US president and Prime Minister Keir Starmer come into effect.
British aerospace companies like Rolls Royce Holdings Plc also saw 10% tariffs on goods including engines and aircraft parts slashed to zero as of 5:01 a.m. London time. However, there still remained no sign of progress toward lowering levies on the UK's beleaguered steel industry, which remain at 25% despite Britain previously announcing an agreement to reduce them to zero.

Video Shows Pioneer Flight in Race to Start Electric Air Taxi Service
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The United Arab Emirates has taken another jump in the race to launch an electric air taxi service, completing its first test flight in Dubai with California-based Joby Aviation. Newsweek has reached out to Joby Aviation for comment. Why It Matters The Middle East's most tech-driven nation is racing to bring flying taxis to the skies, with its federal capital Abu Dhabi and commercial hub of Dubai each backing separate U.S. companies. As a key business ally of the United States and President Donald Trump — along with his family business — the UAE is putting American technology at the center of the global push for urban air mobility—potentially opening new international markets for U.S. aerospace firms.

Joby Aviation photo/AP What To Know Dubai has successfully conducted the region's first test flight of the Joby Aviation air taxi, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai announced Monday on his account on X, formerly Twitter. Dubai has successfully completed the region's first test flight of the Joby Aerial Taxi. Conducted through a collaboration between the Roads and Transport Authority and Joby Aviation, the test flight marks a major step toward launching full operations next year. The all-electric… — Hamdan bin Mohammed (@HamdanMohammed) June 30, 2025 According to the Dubai government's media office, the flying taxi would reduce a 45-minute trip to just 12 minutes, focusing on transport within the city. Joby is developing a zero-emission, four-passenger eVTOL that can reach 200 mph and fly up to 100 miles on a single charge. It was the first eVTOL company to receive airworthiness approval from the U.S. Air Force in 2020. While Abu Dhabi positions itself to become the first Middle Eastern city to operate flying taxis, aircraft testing is expected to begin later this year. The capital recently received flight simulators from U.S.-based Archer Aviation, focusing on routes between cities in a key step in preparations and pilot training. Both Joby and Archer plan to launch their air taxi services first in their home state — California. What People Are Saying Dubai crown prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on X: "This pioneering project is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the UAE's position as a global hub for innovation and advanced technology deployment." Anthony el-Khoury, Joby Aviation's General Manager for the Middle East wrote on LinkedIn: "After months of preparation, I'm incredibly proud to share that our aircraft has been flying piloted, inhabited flights in the skies of Dubai. This marks a major milestone—not just for aviation, but for our vision of bringing aerial taxis to life in this city. What was once a bold ambition is now becoming a reality. A huge thank you to the amazing teams in Dubai and the US who worked relentlessly to make this possible." What Happens Next Dubai plans to fully launch the service next year while Abu Dhabi is also ramping up its preparations.

Senate Set To Kick Off Voting On Trump's Big Beautiful Bill
The Senate is set to begin voting on unlimited amendments to President Donald Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill on Monday. This legislation represents Trump's signature domestic policy initiative, combining massive tax cuts with significant spending on border security and defense while implementing substantial cuts to social safety net programs. What To Know In a key procedural vote on Saturday, Republicans Sen. Rand Paul and Thom Tillis voted "no" on the legislation. Tillis, who faced Trump's wrath for rejecting the tax and spending bill, has announced he will not stand for re-election next year. With just a 53-seat majority in the Senate, the GOP can only afford to lose three votes from within the party, with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which is nonpartisan, estimates the bill would add $2.4 trillion to the nation's deficit. Stay with Newsweek for the latest updates.

These 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks Are Undervalued Right Now
Stocks are back at an all-time-high, but some AI stocks are still a good deal. Micron Technology is growing rapidly, and yet its shares trade at a P/E of just 16. AMD has emerged as the closest challenger to Nvidia in the data center GPU market. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Less than three months after the stock market plunged on President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs announcement, major indexes are back near all-time highs. Investors have shrugged off concerns around tariffs and a potential economic slowdown as businesses adjusted to the new trade regime and as economic data so far around unemployment and inflation has been stable, showing that tariffs have not yet had a significant impact on the economy. Despite the resurgence, which has led to stocks like Nvidia hitting all-time highs again, there are still deals to be found among artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. Keep reading to learn about two of them. Fresh off its latest earnings report, Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) just delivered another strong round of results in the fiscal third quarter, beating estimates on the top and bottom lines and offering better-than-expected guidance for the fourth quarter. There was one blemish in the report, which was that pricing declined slightly on a sequential basis, which led to the stock falling less than 1% on Thursday. However, Micron still looks well-positioned to capitalize on the AI boom. Its data center business is surging, more than doubling on a year-over-year basis, pacing overall revenue growth of 37%. It also reported nearly 50% revenue growth in high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and reached record DRAM revenue, which includes HBM. Micron's margins also improved. Its gross margin jumped from 26.9% to 37.7%, and operating margin increased from 10.6% to 23.3%. Adjusted earnings per share more than tripled from $0.62 to $1.91. In addition to its ramping financials, Micron finds itself in an advantageous position because it's the only U.S. manufacturer of advanced memory chips, meaning it's strategically important to the country at a time when the government is focused on reshoring chip production and ensuring adequate supply. Micron was awarded $6.2 billion from the CHIPS Act, and also agreed to invest $200 billion in new foundries in R&D in the U.S., though the timeline on that is unclear. Looking at valuation, Micron looks cheap. Based on its latest guidance, the stock trades at a forward P/E of less than 16, and analysts expect earnings per share to hit $12 in fiscal 2026, giving the stock a P/E of roughly 10 based on that forecast. Micron does face cyclical risk, but if the company can hit those numbers, the stock is a good bet to move higher. Another chip stock with significant upside potential is Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). AMD might not look undervalued, according to its trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 39, but that's actually an attractive price for the company's growth potential and momentum. AMD stock is still down by more than a third from its peak last year, but its recent results show it's growing quickly in the key data center segment, and it has emerged as the only real challenger to Nvidia in the AI GPU market. Though it's a distant second there, that's proven to be a valuable position, and is likely to earn it support from customers, as having competition for Nvidia is to their benefit as well. In its first-quarter earnings report, revenue rose 36% to $7.4 billion, led by a 57% jump in revenue to $3.7 billion, which was driven by growth in its EPYC CPU and Instinct GPU chips. AMD's strength in both CPUs and GPUs, arguably give it a competitive advantage as well and help differentiate the company from competitors. AMD also impressed in the client segment, where revenue jumped 68% to $2.3 billion thanks to strong demand for its Zen 5 Ryzen processor. While that growth rate is likely to slow, AMD has been steadily grabbing market share from Intel, and that trend is likely to continue. The company is also making moves to beef up its AI capabilities. It acquired ZT Systems in the first quarter to improve its expertise in servers and rack-level solutions, which it said would help it address the data-center AI accelerator opportunity, which it said was expected to reach $500 billion by 2028. It's also acquired a number of AI start-ups, which should accelerate its advances in AI. Analysts are expecting rapid growth from the company, forecasting adjusted EPS of $5.71 in 2026. Based on that figure, the stock trades at a forward P/E of 25.2, making AMD looks like a good deal, considering its growth potential in AI and beyond.
