Trump finally announces new tariff plan hours before deadline - but delays them yet again
The Trump administration announced its new trade policy and its tariff plan on Thursday, just hours before the August 1 trade deadline. On Thursday night, the Trump White House announced that a "universal" tariff for goods coming into U.S. will remain at 10 percent. That is the same level that President Donald Trump set during his "Liberation Day" even in early April when he first announced the tariffs. However, that 10 percent rate will only apply to countries with a trade surplus — in other words, countries to which the U.S,. exports more than it imports. A senior administration official told the Associated Press that most countries have trade surpluses with the U.S. The new tariff policy will not go into effect on Friday. Trump has delayed the tariffs for another week, until August 7, reportedly to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection time to make changes in how it policies incoming goods and to collect the new duties from imports.

Tim Cook Says Apple Is Investing ‘Significantly' in AI and Could Buy Another Company
Apple wants investors to know it's taking bigger steps to catch up in the AI race. The iPhone maker is "significantly growing" its investments and reallocating employees to focus on AI, CEO Tim Cook told investors on the company's quarterly earnings call Thursday. "Apple has always been about taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use and accessible for everyone, and that's at the heart of our AI strategy," Cook said. Shares climbed over 2% in after-hours trading following the call, after Apple (AAPL) reported better-than-expected earnings with record services revenue. The stock was down about 17% for 2025 through Thursday's close, making it the only Magnificent Seven member in negative territory for the year besides Tesla (TSLA) amid worries about the company's AI progress. Apple, which has lagged many of its Big Tech peers in AI, faces pressure to prove it can keep up after delaying the rollout of highly anticipated features such as an AI-enhanced Siri, disappointing investors. The more personalized, AI-powered version of Apple's Siri is now expected to launch in 2026, Cook said Thursday. Apple previously suggested a more powerful Siri would come this spring. Cook also said Apple would consider buying other companies to raise its AI capabilities—something Wall Street analysts have suggested could give Apple's AI efforts a bigger boost. 'We're very open to M&A that accelerates our roadmap,' Cook said, noting Apple has already acquired around seven companies this year, though "not all AI oriented." Earlier this month, Wedbush analyst and longtime Apple bull Dan Ives suggested AI startup Perplexity could be a target. Apple has also reportedly held talks with ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Claude developer Anthropic about relying on their AI models instead of in-house ones.
