China hits US with retaliatory tariffs

Tags: 

(The Hill) - China hit the U.S. back with retaliatory tariffs across the board over President Trump’s enforcement of tariffs on Chinese goods that went into effect on Tuesday. 

China’s Ministry of Finance announced the countermeasures, imposing a 15 percent tariff on liquefied natural gas and coal. China also said it would slap a 10 percent tariff on crude oil, pickup trucks, agricultural machinery and large-displacement cars. 

The tariffs are set to take effect next week on Feb. 10. 

Trump oil tariffs expected to raise price at the pump

(The Hill) - President Trump’s tariff on Canadian oil is expected to raise prices at the pump for U.S. consumers, if it takes effect as planned after a 30-day delay.

Analysts told The Hill that the 10 percent tariff set to be imposed under an executive order Trump signed over the weekend would lead to a pricing bump, though it ​would not be evenly distributed. According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, consumers in the Midwest, Rockies and New England would see the greatest impacts. 

Super Bowl opening night features the silliest questions

Tags: 

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Patrick Mahomes treated Super Bowl opening night like a two-minute drill, providing rapid-fire answers to one question after another. Travis Kelce passed on an inquiry about popping the question to Taylor Swift.

Been here, done that. That's how the Kansas City Chiefs handled the annual extravaganza that kicks off Super Bowl week.

The Philadelphia Eagles were here two years ago so they weren't fazed by the silliness either, though their most dynamic player is new to the wild experience that could overwhelm teams that aren’t used to the circus atmosphere.

Trump agrees to pause tariffs on...

President Donald Trump is holding off on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada for 30 days after the two U.S. neighbors agreed to boost border security efforts. Trump on Saturday had directed that 25% tariffs on most imports from the two American partners — and 10% on Canadian energy products — go into effect at midnight Tuesday. The two nations threatened retaliation of their own, raising the prospects of a broader regional trade war. In a statement on X, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that on a call with Trump he pledged additional cooperation on border security.
