Missing out on £54m research fund ‘undermines' northern universities, say mayors
Universities in northern England face having their contribution to the economy undermined after they missed out on a share of £54 million, eight mayors have warned. A total 12 institutions have access to the money to help attract 60 to 80 leading researchers into the UK. But the mayors, including Labour's Andy Burnham in Greater Manchester, Steve Rotheram in Liverpool and Tracy Brabin in West Yorkshire, have called on the Government to build a 'new funding model that truly reflects the strengths and aspirations of all of our regions'. They warned that investment was 'concentrated disproportionately in London and the South East'. According to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the money is intended to bolster industrial strategy by helping universities to back research in sectors such as life sciences, defence and the creative industries. Beneficiaries include Oxford and Cambridge universities, the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, which is also based in Cambridge, Imperial College London and the University of Birmingham. Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland, the University of Strathclyde in Scotland and Cardiff University in Wales are also listed as being in line for money from the fund. But northern universities' 'exclusion from the Global Talent Fund undermines their contribution to the UK's economic success, as well as the Government's stated commitment to rebalance our economy', the mayors wrote in a joint statement. They said: 'We are deeply disappointed that universities in the north of England, some of the best and brightest in the world, have once again been overlooked in the allocation of national innovation funding, despite their research credentials. 'The North is home to some of the UK's most innovative, high-performing universities. These institutions drive the development of life-changing technologies and work hand in hand with industry to create good jobs and grow the economy.' The cross-party group added: 'As mayors, we stand ready to support the Government in its mission to make the UK a global science superpower. 'But to truly deliver on that mission, investment in innovation must reflect the full breadth and depth of talent that exists across the country, not continue to be concentrated disproportionately in London and the South East. 'We are calling for urgent reform to ensure greater transparency and fairness in how public research and innovation funding is allocated. 'Strategic funds like this must support national growth, and that means recognising and investing in the full potential of the North of England and the 15 million people we collectively represent. 'We urge UK Research and Innovation to think again, review this disappointing decision and work together with us on creating a new funding model that truly reflects the strengths and aspirations of all of our regions, to build a brighter Britain that works for us all.' Reform UK mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, Luke Campbell, and Conservative mayor of Tees Valley, Lord Houchen of High Leven, joined the Labour politicians – who also include the South Yorkshire, North East and York and North Yorkshire mayors Oliver Coppard, Kim McGuinness and David Skaith – in signing the statement. Backing the fund last month, science minister Lord Vallance said 'genius is not bound by geography'. He continued: 'But the UK is one of the few places blessed with the infrastructure, skills base, world-class institutions and international ties needed to incubate brilliant ideas, and turn them into new medicines that save lives, new products that make our lives easier, and even entirely new jobs and industries.'

Trump remade the global trading system. He's just getting started
President Donald Trump has remade the global trading system. He's just getting started. Trump's 'reciprocal' tariff regime went into effect just after midnight, solidifying the new world order fueled Trump's long-standing – and oft-doubted – aspiration to reorient seven decades of global commerce. But the days leading up to this moment provide a window into a president who advisers tell CNN is increasingly emboldened, confident and unyielding in his belief that his unprecedented use of tariffs for, well, just about everything, hasn't carried any downside. It's a view corporate executives, foreign leaders and a veritable phonebook worth of economists would hotly dispute, citing an array of warning signs in underlying economic data, earnings calls and geopolitical maneuvering. Trump is unbowed and set to aggressively expand his imprint on a new global system of trade in the weeks ahead. 'Tariffs are his Swiss Army Knife – there's isn't a single thing that cross his desk that can't be solved by their utility,' a senior administration official told CNN. 'I think the experience of the last few months has proven that approach correct – and probably made the Swiss Army Knife more of a Swiss Army chainsaw.' Trump's reciprocal tariffs are now in place, as are tariff-laden bilateral trade frameworks with countries that make up roughly 60% of the world's gross domestic product. Steel, aluminum, copper, auto and auto parts sector tariffs are active as well. Soaring sector-based levies on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, lumber, critical minerals, aircraft, poliysilicon and trucks are in process and will be rolled out in the coming weeks. The exact dates appear almost entirely up to Trump and his trade teams. The actual rates for those sector tariffs? Same, but by all accounts, only moving upward by the week with Trump recently setting the level for chips and semiconductors at 'approximately 100%' and threatening up to 250% for pharmaceuticals. The official was relaying the observation about Trump's all-purpose use of tariffs on steroids at roughly the same time the Swiss president, who had scrambled to Washington in a last-ditch effort to avoid Trump's soaring new tariff rate on her country, was departing the capital Wednesday without a deal in hand. It was a rather colorful – if telling – coincidence. World leaders and their trade teams scrambled to cut deals to ease new rates, only to be rebuffed. Business leaders or their highly-paid Washington sherpas insisted there were clear opportunities to secure exemptions and carveouts but have discovered there would be no easy path. 'Trump is always listening, always taking offers,' one lobbyist. 'But yesterday's price is not today's price based on my sense of things – he wants big numbers, big commitments, big demonstrations of success.' Hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate pledges and investment commitments have served as Trump's most coveted elements of bilateral trade framework, officials say. Trump has specifically cited those commitments as a way countries could 'pay down' the threatened tariff rates. Trump's advisers have formulated plans to utilize those commitments to shore up US supply chain weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The structure, while still very much a work in progress and subject to some dispute between the US and counterparts, serves as an innovative and certainly unprecedented vehicle to address national security concerns in critical industries and products, officials say. Trump's view of the investment commitments is framed in a somewhat different manner. 'If you look at Japan, we're taking in $550 billion, and that's like a signing bonus that a baseball player would get. They give a signing bonus of a million dollars, or $2 million or $20 million, or whatever the hell they give today,' Trump said this week on CNBC. 'So I got a signing bonus from Japan of $550 billion. That's our money. It's our money to invest, as we like.' In other words, Trump wants exactly what Apple CEO Tim Cook provided in the Oval Office on Wednesday with the announcement of a new commitment to invest $100 billion in US jobs and suppliers. The customized glass and 24-karat gold statuette that Cook theatrically unveiled in the middle of the announcement didn't hurt either. Trump, just hours before he and Cook appeared together in the Oval Office, slapped 25% tariffs on India for their purchases of Russian energy. That levy, should it go into effect in three weeks, would raise US tariffs on all imports from India to 50% - one of the highest levels world-wide. The underlying reason for Trump's escalation, despite the predicate of depriving Putin's war machine of critical cashflow, was India's refusal to drop nearly all of its tariffs to US producers, multiple officials told CNN. Punishing tariffs on India, where Apple has a significant manufacturing footprint, would seem to be a major problem for a CEO like Cook. But White House officials made clear that in the near term, existing exemptions on specific technology products meant Apple wouldn't take a hit in the near term. Trump, in an unexpected announcement during the event, made clear those exemptions would stand for the long term, too. 'We're going to be putting a very large tariff on chips and semiconductors, but the good news for companies like Apple is, if you're building in the United States, or have committed to build, without question, committed to build in the United States, there will be no charge,' Trump said. There are no shortage of questions about the final shape of the trillions in investment commitments outlined in corporate pledges and the trade frameworks with foreign counterparts. There is significant technical and legal work ahead on the bilateral frameworks, which were in many cases revised and reshaped by Trump's own hand in Oval Office sit downs and are now subject to some dispute in foreign capitals. But Trump's advisers hardly seem concerned about their ability to finalize the terms in the months ahead. 'The method to hold countries and the companies in these countries to their commitments is, of course, the tariffs,' the senior administration official said.

Trump TACOs World on Tariffs Except for One Target
President Donald Trump has singled out Canada for punishment in his latest round of tariff announcements, with a key component allowing a delay for other countries. Trump signed an executive order Thursday forcing new import taxes on dozens of countries under a new trade plan. As part of the latest tariff rollout, over 70 other countries will have until Aug. 7 until their new levies kick in. The same could not be said about Canada, however. Trump signed a separate executive order Thursday that included a new tariff rate—up from 25 percent to 35 percent—and an earlier deadline: 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Aug. 1. The order stated Canada—America's second-biggest trading partner—had failed to address 'illegal migration' and showed a 'lack of cooperation' in stopping fentanyl and other illicit drugs flowing into the U.S. as well as threatening to retaliate with its own tariffs. Trump had announced modified tariff rates in April, but put implementing them on hold following market turmoil. Under the newly signed guidelines, Trump raised the baseline tariff rate from 10 percent to 15 percent for all countries with which the United States has a trade deficit. The 10 percent rate will remain for countries with a trade surplus. The highest tariff is on goods from Syria, at 41 percent. Switzerland's rate, not far behind, increased from 31 percent to 39 percent. China, currently in talks with the administration, keeps its baseline tariff at 10 percent, as agreed upon in May. Although the average effective tariff rate on imports to the U.S. sits at its highest level in nearly a century, some countries saw their rates decrease following trade agreements. Imports from the European Union, Japan, and South Korea will be taxed at 15 percent, all having struck deals with Trump in the last week. The levies will be paid by importers in the United States and would typically be passed on to American consumers. The executive order effectively pushes the tariff deadline back by a week—despite Trump declaring Wednesday on Truth Social, 'THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE — IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. A BIG DAY FOR AMERICA!!!' The delay is reportedly so Customs and Border Protection can make necessary changes, according to CNN and The Washington Post, but will also allow trading partners more time to negotiate. The increased tariffs for Canada, which come despite the country scrapping its digital services tax as a concession to Trump, apply only to goods not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, so 85 percent of Canadian imports remain duty-free. Canada is the top buyer of U.S. exports, according to CNN. Trump had earlier agreed to a 90-day extension with Mexico to cut a trade deal, crediting it for negotiating more cooperatively than Canada. 'We have a good relationship with Canada; we work well with their officials and government,' a senior administration official told reporters, according to CNN. 'But they haven't shown the same level of constructiveness that we've seen from the Mexican side.' Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was 'disappointed' in a statement after midnight Thursday, adding Canada accounted for 1 percent of U.S. fentanyl imports. 'While we will continue to negotiate with the United States on our trading relationship, the Canadian government is laser-focused on what we can control: building Canada strong,' he said. 'Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, and end migrant smuggling... We will continue working with the United States to stop the scourge of fentanyl and save lives in both our countries.' Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the hike is 'concerning,' and declared in an X post: 'We need to stand our ground.' He also called for PM Carney to 'hit back' with a 50 percent tariff on U.S. steel and aluminum. Solve the daily Crossword
