Friday, May 30th, 2025 - Tariff whiplash - again; Chinese student visas revoked; Paramount lawsuit; HHS cuts bird flu vax funds; Musk is out
Today’s Headlines: The US Court of International Trade ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, canceling most tariffs—only for the appeals court to reinstate them during the ongoing appeal. Meanwhile, ASEAN countries agreed to protect each other’s economies against harmful US trade deals amid mounting tariff tensions. The State Department, led by Marco Rubio, announced plans to revoke visas of Chinese students with ties to the Communist Party and pause new student visa interviews to enhance vetting. In other news, Qatar hesitates to finalize the transfer of Trump’s private jet due to costly maintenance and demands for clear legal disclaimers. Paramount offered $15 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit over a CBS News interview, but Trump wants $25 million plus an apology, leveraging the studio’s pending merger approval. Moderna lost millions in HHS funding for its bird flu vaccine development, and Elon Musk resigned from DOGE after 114 days, having achieved only a fraction of his deficit-cutting goals while stirring controversy on multiple fronts.
