Trump's Higher Tariffs Are Here. Now What?
Good morning. The next phase of President Trump's trade war is here, as scores of trading partners and imported products now face significantly higher tariffs. That will raise costs for many companies — except for those who have placated Trump with acceptable-enough promises to invest in the U.S. — and continue to scramble the outlook for global business. We dive into the latest below. Tariff tantrum Bruising tariffs went into effect a few hours ago on more than 90 countries as President Trump's trade war enters a new phase. The president has signaled that there's more to come. Trading partners are scrambling to negotiate better terms, while many of their industries — Japan's automakers, for one — reel from the protectionist attack. Here's a country-by-country tariff tracker. But investors appear to be shrugging off the potential hit to global commerce. Stocks in Asia and Europe were trading mostly higher, helped by decent earnings that suggest that some companies are holding up. That's in part because many deeply involved in international trade, like the shipping giant Maersk and Chinese exporters, have found resilient demand outside the U.S. S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite futures are gaining, too. The latest: Shares in Toyota fell after the Japanese auto giant forecast a $9.5 billion hit from tariffs, and lowered its full-year profit guidance. Several overseas chipmakers appear to have dodged a blow from a new 100 percent levy that Trump threatened on semiconductor imports. That tax would be waived for those companies already 'building' in America, Trump said; shares in TSMC and Samsung, which have large U.S. manufacturing hubs, are rallying on Thursday. The Magnificent Seven group of tech giants hit a record on Wednesday, buoyed by a surge in Apple shares. (More on that in a second.) Nvidia's stock gained as Jensen Huang, the chipmaker's C.E.O., met with Trump. Is Apple out of Trump's doghouse? Tim Cook separately joined Trump at the White House, announcing a commitment to invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S. Cook had a 24-karat gold gift for the president and said that 'every single new iPhone and every single new Apple Watch sold anywhere in the world will contain cover glass made in Kentucky.' It will be worth watching if the commitment will be enough to dissuade Trump from imposing tariffs on Apple products. (Remember that the iPhone maker has a history of pledging huge sums — in February it vowed to invest $500 billion domestically, drawing Trump's praise — but hasn't always followed through.)

U Myint Swe, Acting President of Myanmar Installed by Military, Dies at 74
Myanmar's figurehead president, U Myint Swe, who served for four years as the acting president after the military seized power in a coup, died early Thursday after a long neurological illness, according to the military government. He was 74. The head of the military government, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, is the central figure in Myanmar. The government, led by generals, installed Mr. Myint Swe as acting president after it overthrew the civilian government led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's pro-democracy icon and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Mr. Myint Swe showed up in public only every six months to endorse multiple extensions of a state of emergency, which the generals recently lifted. But for years before, Mr. Myint Swe was already an acolyte of the generals and did their bidding, such as cracking down on peaceful protests. Mr. Myint Swe had withdrawn from political life for more than a year because he was on medical leave. He died in a hospital in the capital, Naypyidaw, from 'neurodegenerative diseases and related neurological disorders,' according to the military government. Although Mr. Myint Swe was still the acting president, General Min Aung Hlaing had been performing his duties since July 2024. The military government announced that Mr. Myint Swe would be given a state funeral, but in Myanmar, few tears were likely to be shed. 'His death brings no real change for the country,' said U Kyee Myint, a human rights lawyer in Myanmar. 'He was merely a puppet president.' Myanmar has been wracked by a four-year civil war since protesters rose up against the military after the coup in 2021. About half the country is now controlled by these protesters and by armed ethnic groups the military has long fought, while the other half is controlled by the military. During the Saffron Revolution in 2007, when Buddhist monks led popular protests in Myanmar, Mr. Myint Swe led a brutal crackdown, arresting monks and civilians. He said publicly then that the killings were part of his duty. He also served as chief minister of Yangon, Myanmar's biggest city, under the quasi-civilian government between 2011 and 2016, and led its regional military command for years under the previous military government, which stepped down in 2011. 'In reality, we can say he died without ever facing any punishment for what he did,' said Ko Tun Lin, a resident of Yangon. 'At the very least, I would have wanted him to receive the punishment he deserved before he died.'
