United Airlines flights resume after it resolves technology glitch
STORY: :: Nikki Chapman United Airlines flights at U.S. airports were briefly grounded on Wednesday. :: Alan Billman The company says it has now fixed the tech issue that caused it. In a statement, United said: 'We've resolved technology issues that had been affecting flights. While we're still experiencing delays, our team is working to restore our normal operations.' The issue came weeks after Alaska Airlines grounded flights for three hours in its second IT outage in just over a year. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the hours-long outage caused ground stops at major United hub airports, including Newark, Denver, Houston, and Chicago. Flight tracking data service, FlightAware showed 34% of United flights had been delayed by the incident as of late Wednesday evening on the US East Coast. United said the issue was with its Unimatic system, which feeds flight data to systems for weight, balance, and tracking. It also said it would cover customer expenses, like hotels, for delays caused by the tech issue. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a post on X that the issue was limited to United and unrelated to air traffic control. Solve the daily Crossword

Japan tech giant SoftBank Group sees better fortunes on surging AI stocks
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese technology conglomerate SoftBank Group Corp. posted a 421.8 billion yen ($2.9 billion) profit in the April-June quarter, rebounding from a loss a year earlier as its investments benefited from the craze for artificial intelligence. Quarterly sales at Tokyo-based SoftBank Group, which invests heavily in AI companies like Nvidia and Open AI, rose 7% to 1.8 trillion yen ($12 billion), the company said Thursday. SoftBank's loss in April-June 2024 was 174 billion yen. The company's fortunes tend to fluctuate because it invests in a range of ventures through its Vision Funds, a move that carries risks. The group's founder Masayoshi Son has emphasized that he sees a vibrant future in AI. SoftBank has also invested in Arm Holdings and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Both companies, which produce computer chips, have benefitted from the growth of AI. 'The era is definitely AI, and we are focused on AI,' SoftBank senior executive Yoshimitsu Goto he told reporters. 'An investment company goes through its ups and downs, but we are recently seeing steady growth.' Some of SoftBank's other investments also have paid off big. An example is Coupang, an e-commerce company known as the 'Amazon of South Korea,' because it started out in Seoul. Coupang now operates in the U.S. and other Asian nations. Goto said preparations for an IPO for PayPay, a kind of cashless payment system, were going well. The company has already held IPOs for Chime, a U.S. 'neobank' that provides banking services for low-credit consumers, and for Etoro, a personal investment platform. ___ Yuri Kageyama on Threads:

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump boasts of tariff billions, vows to punish China on for Russian oil
President Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday boasting that billions of dollars in tariffs were now flowing into the US. "IT'S MIDNIGHT!!! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TARIFFS ARE NOW FLOWING INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!" Trump wrote. The US president added that this additional money will come "largely from countries" that he says has taken "advantage" of the US. "RECIPROCAL TARIFFS TAKE EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, LARGELY FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR MANY YEARS, LAUGHING ALL THE WAY, WILL START FLOWING INTO THE USA." Trump's sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs hit US trade partners on Thursday when his deadline to strike deals expired at 12:01 a.m ET. As the trade deadline loomed Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The new tariff, which will come into effect in 21 days, is set to "stack" on top of an existing country-specific tariff of 25%, which takes effect today. In doing so, Trump is set to make good on a threat for higher tariffs on India, as he has accused the country of effectively financing the Russian war in Ukraine. "They're fueling the war machine," he charged in a CNBC interview. Trump also floated the idea of higher tariffs on China due to Beijing's purchase of Russian oil. Trump said he would punish China with additional tariffs. Outside of China and India, Switzerland is the developed nation whose goods face a whopping increase: up to 39%. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: Trump also said that he would soon announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. He said duties on pharma could eventually balloon as high as 250%. On Wednesday, during a White House event with Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook, he suggested he would impose a tariff of 100% on "all chips and semiconductors coming into the United States." In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs. Trump hiked tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, though goods contained in the US-Mexico-Canada agreement are exempt, keeping this hike's impact limited so far. The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts. The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

Trump says he plans to set tariffs on computer chips at 100% President Trump said on Wednesday at a press conference with Apple CEO Tim Cook that he is planning to set a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports.

The US president threatened India with higher tariffs earlier this week, which India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi called "unjustified," also calling out the US for its double standard over Russia. In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Trump said that India was helping to fuel the war machine. 'They're fueling the war machine. And if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy,' Trump said. In the early days of trade negotiations, relations between the US and India appeared more friendly, with both sides saying they would reach a deal within days. However, over recent months ,things seem to have turned sour as neither side can agree on some of the finer details within the deal, which concern dairy and agricultural products. As a result, a trade war seems to have developed between the two sides, and now with this additional 25% tariff gift from Trump to Modi, the two seem further away from reaching an agreement than ever before. Carney says he'll look at opportunities to remove tariffs on US Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he will look to assess ways in which he can remove some counter-tariffs against the US. Carney's statement seems at odds with his earlier commitments to fight back against President Trump's trade war. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here.
