Quest on why he thinks Trump's tariff deals will never come to fruition
Hours before a midnight deadline, the White House announced its new trade policy, including its baseline tariffs for all countries. The administration said the 'universal' tariff will remain at 10% — the same level implemented on April 2 — for countries the US has a trade surplus with, which is most of them. Nations with which the US has a trade deficit face a 15% floor. CNN's Richard Quest joins Erin Burnett to discuss and explain why he thinks Trump's tariff deals will never come to fruition.

A DEI Showdown at George Mason
George Mason University is known on the right for its free-market economics faculty, the Antonin Scalia Law School, and the Mercatus Center think tank, but apparently its campus politics are as woke as anywhere else. The Virginia public school is under investigation by the Trump Administration for race-conscious hiring, and when George Mason's board meets Friday, it could try to oust President Gregory Washington. Mr. Washington, the school's first black president, was hired in 2020 and has made race on campus a signature issue. 'While a majority of our students are non-white,' he wrote in a 2021 letter, 'just 30 percent of our faculty are from ethnic minority, multi-ethnic, or international communities.' To fix that, he called for adopting 'a broader, shared understanding of what 'best' means when recruiting faculty and staff.' As Mr. Washington explained it: 'If you have two candidates who are both 'above the bar' in terms of requirements for a position, but one adds to your diversity and the other does not, then why couldn't that candidate be better, even if that candidate may not have better credentials than the other candidate?' This kind of thinking seems to have permeated the university in recent years. Take a faculty recruitment plan for an English professor specializing in '20th/21st-Century African American Women's Literature.' Some minority job applicants 'may not have had the same educational or publishing opportunities as their white counterparts or may be more junior,' it says. 'Therefore, rather than requesting that candidates demonstrate a 'record' of excellence in teaching and research, the ad stipulates that they must demonstrate 'potential' for excellence.'
