President Donald Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address of the television age Tuesday, declaring “a turnaround for the ages” as he tried to sell Americans on his economic program ahead of crucial midterm elections later this year.

The speech had all the ceremony, confrontation and chaos that have come to define the event in an era of narrow congressional majorities and partisan polarization. Democratic Representative Al Green was ejected from the chamber for disrupting the speech. Trump invited the gold-medal-winning men’s Olympic hockey team into the gallery amid chants of “USA! USA! USA!” He awarded several medals honoring veterans and active-duty service members.

And in more than 1 hour 47 minutes, the longest State of the Union in history, the president delivered a rally-like speech punctuated less by policy proposals than by political attacks.

According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Gap, Aritzia and Urban Outfitters are among apparel retailers that should see margins expand, with the US' global tariff set at 15% -- vs. an average 20% for the sector after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's sweeping levies.

-Holly Froum, Bloomberg Intelligence Litigation Analyst, discusses the legality of President Trump’s tariffs. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: the US Supreme Court's Feb. 20 ruling that the Trump administration's fentanyl trafficking and reciprocal tariffs are unlawful prompted President Trump to invoke Trade Act Section 122 to impose a 10% tariff effective Feb. 24.

It’s an open secret that the Chinese government has engaged in a global campaign to acquire intellectual property from foreign rivals. At the center of that campaign is the Ministry of State Security, China’s elusive intelligence agency. The US has apprehended hundreds of people accused of giving information to the MSS, but the agency’s inner workings have been a mystery –  until now.

The Sixth Bureau from Bloomberg News follows an MSS intelligence officer whose mission was to acquire the crown jewels of American aerospace companies. With aliases, blackmail and the occasional break-in, he targeted corporate giants. That is, until his sloppiness – and a cunning FBI sting – led to a stunning reversal: Xu Yanjun became the first Chinese intelligence officer ever convicted on American soil.

The Sixth Bureau is the story of superpowers, their secrets and how one Chinese spy got caught.

-Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses the impact of the Supreme Court tariff ruling on retail. Retail and apparel stocks from Nike  to Target Corp. spiked following the Supreme Court’s ruling to strike down President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

-Dan Ives, Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities, discusses the impact of tariffs on tech.
Despite the Trump administration leveraging the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to legally impose tariff across its trading partners, the decision does not impact all of Trump’s tariff but invalidates those implemented under the IEEPA. 

-Barry Ritholtz, Founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management and Host of “Masters in Business” discusses tariffs. The court's decision invalidates Trump’s tariffs, including those imposed on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China, and could cut the US average effective tariff rate by more than half.

The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, undercutting his signature economic policy and delivering his biggest legal defeat since he returned to the White House.

Voting 6-3, the court said Trump exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency-powers law to impose his “reciprocal” tariffs across the globe as well as targeted import taxes the administration says address fentanyl trafficking.

The justices didn’t address the extent to which importers are entitled to refunds, leaving it to a lower court to sort out those issues. If fully allowed, refunds could total as much as $170 billion - more than half the total revenue Trump’s tariffs have brought in.
