UK economy shrinks in April as US tariffs kick in
London – Britain's economy shrank more than expected in April following a tax hike on UK businesses and a record drop in exports to the United States due to President Donald Trump's tariffs, official data showed Thursday. Gross domestic product contracted 0.3 percent in the month, compared to 0.2 percent growth in March, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said in a statement. Analysts' consensus had been for a GDP contraction of 0.1 percent in April. Exports of British goods to the United States fell by a record £2 billion ($2.7 billion) the same month, the ONS revealed, following the introduction of Trump's tariffs onslaught. The data comes one day after Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government laid out its priorities for the coming years, hoping that changes to day-to-day spending amounts and longer-term investment will spur Britain's sluggish economy. – 'Clearly disappointing' – Finance minister Rachel Reeves injected the ailing National Health Service with billions of pounds and pumped funds into defence and housing, while making cuts to other departments. Reeves said Thursday's figures were 'clearly disappointing' but insisted that her spending plans would deliver growth for Britain. Paul Dales, chief UK economist at research group Capital Economics, noted that the economy faced 'subdued overseas demand and domestic businesses cutting back on spending to compensate for the rise in costs driven by April's increase in taxes'. Following Labour's return to power last July, following years of Conservative rule, Reeves announced a tax rise for UK businesses which entered force in April. Official data this week showed that the hike had contributed to a small rise in Britain's unemployment rate and slowdown to growth in average wages. – Record drop – Britain's economy had expanded by 0.7 percent in the first three months of the year. 'With the economy now weakening, we can expect to see concerns around further tax rises increase as we near the Autumn Budget — which is likely to weigh on growth even more,' said Lindsay James, investment strategist at Quilter. The latest data follows also the introduction of a baseline 10-percent tariff imposed on the UK and other countries by Trump at the start of April. The UK and US have since struck a trade agreement that cuts tariffs on British cars and scraps them on steel and aluminium. Britain in return has agreed to open up its markets to US beef and other American farm goods. But the UK remains subject to a 10-percent tariff on most goods exported to the United States. Decreases in exports to the United States in April were seen 'across most types of goods, following the recent introduction of tariffs', said ONS director of economic statistics, Liz McKeown. Machinery and transport equipment, including cars, took a notable hit, after four months of consecutive increases for exports of British goods to the US. Official data earlier this year showed trade in goods between the UK and US remained balanced in 2024. Britain imported £57.1 billion ($77 billion) worth of American goods last year and exported products worth a total of £59.3 billion.

US pulls staff from embassies in Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain
Baghdad ( – The United States is reducing staff at its embassies in Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain due to growing regional security threats, officials confirmed Wednesday. The move follows warnings from Iran targeting U.S. bases should a conflict erupt. Military families in Bahrain have been authorized to leave temporarily, while non-essential personnel are also being withdrawn from Kuwait. The situation is further complicated by reports from UK Maritime Trade of a looming military escalation in the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz. Iraq, home to 2,500 American troops and a strategic ally of both the U.S. and Iran, faces internal security challenges as some of its forces are aligned with Iran-backed armed groups. The U.S. maintains a widespread military footprint across the Arabian Gulf, with bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE. Following the news of the embassy drawdowns, oil prices surged, with Brent crude climbing $3 to trade at $69.18 per barrel, according to Reuters.

White House intel: Israel poised to strike Iran
Shafaq News/ US President Donald Trump and senior White House officials received intelligence indicating that Israel is 'on high alert' and prepared to launch a military strike against Iran, according to American media reports on Thursday. CBS News, citing informed sources, reported that both Israeli officials and White House spokespeople declined to comment on the matter. Previous reports have suggested that Israel is considering unilateral action against Iran's nuclear facilities, despite US pressure to refrain from military escalation while negotiations continue between Washington and Tehran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long opposed any deal with Iran. His office maintains that Israel has carried out 'countless public and covert operations' to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. In May, President Trump stated publicly that he urged Netanyahu not to proceed with an attack on Iran, citing ongoing nuclear talks. 'I told him it would be inappropriate to act now because we are very close to a resolution,' Trump said at the time. Should Israel proceed with a strike, US intelligence assessments indicated that Iran may retaliate against American targets in neighboring Iraq. The US has already announced plans to reduce embassy staff in Baghdad due to security concerns. President Trump described the Middle East as 'a dangerous place' and confirmed reports that Americans were being advised to leave the region. Speaking at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, Trump told reporters that the US 'will not allow' Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. While the Trump administration continues to seek a deal to limit Iran's nuclear activity, international watchdogs report that Tehran has been enriching uranium to levels nearing weapons-grade. The negotiations remain delicate, with both sides far from agreement. Trump insists on a total halt to enrichment, while Iran maintains it has the right to pursue peaceful nuclear development and denies any intent to produce nuclear weapons. Two US officials told CBS that Washington's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, still plans to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday for a sixth round of nuclear talks.
