The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project off the coast of Virginia has already seen tariff costs of $4 million, Chief Executive Officer Bob Blue said on an earnings call. The project's current budget is $10.7 billion.

EU-US Trade Talks Could Extend Beyond Trump's Deadline
Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg's daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union. Trade talks between the EU and the US have intensified over the past week, aiming to secure at least a preliminary deal before Washington imposes a 50% tariff on nearly all EU exports. The best-case scenario would be agreement on the principles of an accord by July 9. Yet, we're told European officials believe negotiations sealing the deal in full could extend beyond President Donald Trump's deadline. Officials in Brussels remain cautious. While talks are taking place in a positive environment, they remain difficult — the EU believes the US is seeking one-sided concessions. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick yesterday poured cold water on hopes for a swift accord, telling CNBC yesterday that Washington is prioritizing other partners and an agreement with the EU is likely to be the very last one that the US completes.

Trump says he is open to extending trade deal deadline for other countries: 'I would'
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was willing to extend the deadline for countries to reach a trade deal with the United States, but he doesn't think it will be necessary. At the same time, he also indicated that in one to two weeks his administration would be sending out letters telling countries "what the deal is." Trump made the remarks ahead of a performance of "Les Misérables" that he attended at the Kennedy Center in Washington with the first lady. Trump Administration Prevails As Appeals Court Pauses Lower Court Decision Blocking Contested Tariffs "I would," Trump said when asked if he would be willing to extend the July 8 deadline for countries to negotiate a trade deal or else face steep tariffs. "But I don't think we're going to have that necessity," the president added, telling reporters "we're rocking in terms of deals" right now. Shortly after announcing sweeping tariff policies on April 2 for virtually every U.S. trading partner, the Trump administration chose to institute a 90-day pause to give countries a chance to make a deal with the United States. Read On The Fox News App Trump noted during the gaggle with reporters ahead of Wednesday's Kennedy Center performance that the United States remains in talks with about 15 countries with whom it is still trying to cement a deal. But the president said that he intends to send letters to these partners setting unilateral tariff rates if a deal is not reached. "We're dealing with Japan. We're dealing with South Korea. We're dealing with a lot of them. We're dealing with about 15 countries. But as you know, we have about 150-plus, and you can't [make a deal with all of them]. So we're going to be sending letters out in about a week and a half, two weeks, to countries and telling them what the deal is." Trump's Tariff Strategy Could Pay For His Tax Bill, But Only If They Stick, Experts Warn "At a certain point, we're just going to send letters out … saying this is the deal, you can take it or leave it," Trump added. Highly anticipated trade talks with China held in London this week led to a preliminary agreement between the world's two biggest economic powers, but the "framework" is still pending final approval from Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump. "We made a great deal with China. We're very happy with it," Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday evening. "We have everything we need, and we're going to do very well with it. And hopefully they are, too."Original article source: Trump says he is open to extending trade deal deadline for other countries: 'I would'

Morning Bid: No relief from US-China trade truce
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Johann M Cherian European investors are set to wake up to a souring mood as rapidly rising tensions in the Middle East and yet another tariff salvo from U.S. President Donald Trump triggered a new wave of dollar-selling and risk-off moves. The much-hyped U.S.-China talks culminated in a fragile truce that may have put a lid on simmering trade tensions between the world's top two economies for now but the lack of details has left investors unnerved. For starters, China President Xi Jinping is yet to give his approval on the 'deal'. And details on how the new tariffs will be implemented are yet to be ironed out and U.S. export restrictions on high-end artificial intelligence chips are still in place. And with the July 8 deadline on worldwide tariffs fast approaching, Trump is back to his unilateral style of policymaking as he said he would send out letters in one to two weeks outlining terms of trade to dozens of other countries, which they could embrace or reject. Markets will be hoping for another TACO moment. While backward looking inflation reports are yet to reflect the price pressures, companies are starting to sound the alarm. Zara-owner Inditex was the latest to issue a disappointing quarterly report and flag headwinds from trade uncertainty. And as if investors did not have enough to juggle with already, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are flaring, adding to the risks of rising crude prices fuelling inflation pressures. Supply concerns out of the oil-rich region pushed Brent and West Texas Intermediate futures to two-month highs of nearly $70 a barrel each. In all of this, as my colleague Jamie McGeever points out, valuations in equities and stocks are beginning to appear stretched, compounding the risks to investors in the event of a market selloff. European futures were down 0.7%, while futures in the U.S. are pointing to a lower open on Thursday, but the benchmark indexes in the regions are just about 2% away from their respective record highs. Further, investors continue to question the dollar's safe-haven status. On Thursday, the euro hit a seven-week high and is up 11% this year, poised for its biggest yearly advance since 2017. The central bank bonanza next week could perhaps throw more light on the global economy's outlook. The U.S. Federal Reserve along with the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England are due to announce their policy decisions. Meanwhile, investors will look for a string of UK economic data including reports on gross domestic product and manufacturing output later in the day. Both are expected to reflect a decline in activity on a monthly basis, reigned in by the BoE's cautious approach to monetary policy easing. Key developments that could provide more direction to markets on Thursday: - In the UK: GDP, industrial output, manufacturing output and trade data - In the U.S.: Producer inflation data, initial weekly jobless claims report and an auction of 30-year bonds worth $22 billion - Policymakers expected to speak include ECB's Jose Luis Escriva, Reserve Bank of Australia's David Jacobs - UniCredit CEO sees slim hopes of BPM deal, says Commerzbank too costly - Oracle raises annual forecast on robust cloud services demand - Warner Bros' credit rating downgraded to junk by Fitch on split-up (By Johann M Cherian; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman) 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
