Dow tumbles 1,000 points after China retaliates against Trump’s tariffs

US stocks opened sharply lower Friday after China retaliated against the United States for President Donald Trump’s tariffs in a tit-for-tat that escalates a global trade war. The Dow fell 1,000 points, or 2.5%, and the broader S&P 500 was 2.6% lower. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was 3% lower and flirting with bear-market territory — a decline of 20% from its peak in December. Investors had been fearful that a dramatic escalation of the trade war could plunge the US and global economies into a recession.

Tesla sales plunge: Biggest decline in history

Tesla sales plunged 13% in the first three months of this year, as the company reported the largest drop in deliveries in its history by far, amid backlash against CEO Elon Musk and as growing competition from other automakers’ electric vehicles took a large bite out of demand for its EVs.

Judge Ends Eric Adams Case, but Says U.S. Cannot Use Charges as Leverage

A judge on Wednesday dismissed federal corruption charges against Eric Adams, ending the first criminal case against a New York City mayor in modern history and underscoring how prosecutorial power is being used to advance President Trump’s agenda. In his ruling, the judge, Dale E. Ho of Federal District Court in Manhattan, refused to allow the government to keep open the option of reinstating the charges, as the Justice Department had sought. Even so, the ruling underscores the remarkable power that Mr. Trump’s administration has to terminate cases, regardless of the rationale. The decision abruptly ended the long-running case weeks before it had been set for trial. It was also the culmination of a bitter clash between the prosecutors who indicted Mr. Adams and the officials at Mr. Trump’s Justice Department who killed the case. The fight, in which Manhattan […]
