Introduction:
In this episode, we dive into the escalating global trade tensions as former President Trump reintroduces massive tariffs, including a staggering 200% tax on pharmaceutical imports, while ending duty-free rules that once fueled popular online retailers like Shein and Temu. We then explore Apple CEO Tim Cook’s response to these trade pressures with a bold $600 billion commitment to U.S. manufacturing, carefully balancing political demands without fully committing to a Made-in-USA iPhone. Finally, we highlight Firefly Aerospace’s landmark Nasdaq debut—the largest U.S. space IPO of the year—following their successful lunar landing and positioning amid government policies favoring alternatives to SpaceX.
