News Wrap: Trump announces 25% tariffs on cars and trucks from the EU

[0:00] In the day's other headlines, President Trump says he's raising tariffs next week to 25 percent [0:05] on cars and trucks from the European Union, accusing the EU of not complying with their [0:10] trade deal. The new levies come at a time when the global economy is already reeling from the [0:16] Iran war. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Mr. Trump didn't elaborate on how he'd [0:21] hiked the tariffs or why he chose to do so now. [0:24] DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States": We raised the tariffs because they were not, [0:31] as usual, they were not adhering to the agreement that we have. We have a trade deal with the [0:34] European Union. They were not adhering to it. [0:36] AMNA NAWAZ, President of the United States": Mr. Trump was referring to a deal reached with [0:39] the E.U. last summer that set levies on most European goods at 15 percent. The Supreme Court [0:45] then ruled in February that much of his tariff agenda was illegal. [0:49] The Pentagon says it's made deals with seven major tech companies to use their AI tools [0:54] within the department's classified networks. They include SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft [1:01] and NVIDIA, some of which already had deals with the Defense Department. Officials say [1:06] the companies will allow the Pentagon to employ their technology for any, quote, lawful use. [1:12] That standard lies at the heart of a legal dispute involving Anthropic, which was not listed [1:17] in today's announcement. The AI startup has objected to its technology being used for fully autonomous [1:23] weapons and domestic surveillance. In Florida, a former Miami congressman with ties to Secretary [1:29] of State Marco Rubio was convicted today of secretly lobbying for Venezuela. A jury found David [1:35] Rivera guilty on all counts, including failure to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to commit [1:41] money laundering. The case centered on a $50 million lobbying campaign to convince the first Trump [1:47] administration to ease sanctions on then-President Nicolas Maduro's government. Rubio himself testified, [1:54] though he's not been accused of any wrongdoing. Rivera was taken into custody and faces around [1:59] 10 years in prison. In Texas, an investigation is under way into what caused a small plane to crash in [2:07] the state's Hill Country, killing all five people on board. The Cessna aircraft went down shortly before [2:13] midnight last night in Wimberley, Texas, nearly 40 miles southwest of Austin. An air traffic [2:19] controller observed the plane moving erratically, and a nearby pilot says the plane emitted a distress [2:24] signal before the crash. The names of those on board have not yet been released, but a local pickleball [2:30] club says they were members who were flying to a tournament. In Washington state, police arrested a high [2:36] school student suspected of wounding five people in a stabbing rampage. The attack happened yesterday at a [2:42] Foss High School in Tacoma, just south of Seattle. A police spokesperson says first responders were [2:48] called after reports of a fight among students. The campus briefly went into lockdown, and classes were [2:54] canceled for today. Authorities say all the victims are now in stable condition, as well as the suspect, [3:00] who was hospitalized with minor injuries. Around the world, events have been taking place to mark May Day, [3:06] also known as International Workers Day, which honors the efforts of the global labor movement. [3:12] In Madrid, activists chanted, long live the working class, and marched for collective bargaining in [3:22] Seoul. In Istanbul's Taksim Square, demonstrations turned violent. Turkish police detained hundreds of [3:34] protesters amid the clashes. In many cases, rallies highlighted the ripple effects of the Iran war, [3:40] like rising energy costs and commodity prices, as laid out by this protester in the Philippines. [3:46] At first, you might think there's no connection. But as we saw when the war in the Middle East broke [3:52] out, crude oil and gasoline prices shot up. There's a domino effect. Prices increase across the board. [3:59] Here in the U.S., May Day is not a public holiday like it is in many other parts of the world. But cities, [4:05] including New York and Chicago, saw marches and boycotts, where opposition to the policies of [4:11] President Trump was a common theme. On Wall Street today, stocks ended mixed following some strong [4:18] corporate earnings. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped about 150 points. The Nasdaq rose more than [4:24] 200 points, or nearly 1 percent. The S&P 500 ended the week at a new all-time high. And it's a case of lost and [4:32] found with a Hollywood ending. Lufthansa apologized to a Russian director today for briefly losing his Academy [4:39] award on a transatlantic flight. Pavel Talonkin and his co-director, David Borenstein, won the Oscar for their [4:46] documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin. Borenstein posted on social media yesterday that TSA agents in New York told [4:54] Talonkin he couldn't bring his Oscar on board because it could be considered a weapon. They sent it under [5:00] the plane in a box instead. After an international outcry, the airline said the statuette has been [5:06] found and is being returned to its rightful owner.
