After tariffs, French business lobby says it got it wrong on Trump
The leader of the main French business federation, Patrick Martin, said on Wednesday he had got it wrong on U.S. President Donald Trump, saying French firms who applauded pro-business policies in January did not imagine he would go ahead with tariffs. Trump stunned business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic when he unveiled a range of sweeping new tariffs on dozens of U.S. trading partners on what he called "Liberation Day", causing a stock market meltdown across the globe. Many French business leaders had initially feted Trump's return to power, with LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, who attended his inauguration, talking about a "wind of optimism" in the U.S. and shipping giant CMA CGM announcing a massive investment there.

Australia turns down China's offer to 'join hands' to fight US tariffs
Australia on Thursday declined Beijing's proposal to work together to counter U.S. tariffs, saying instead it would continue to diversify its trade and lower its reliance on China, its largest trading partner. "We are not going to be holding hands with China in respect of any contest that is going on in the world," Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles told Sky News, referring to the Chinese ambassador's proposal for countries to "join hands" on trade. He said Australia would build its economic resilience by strengthening trade ties with the European Union, Indonesia, India, Britain and the Middle East.

Donald Trump has finally blinked - but it's not the stock markets that have forced him to act
This is the term used periodically to describe investors who push back against what are perceived to be irresponsible fiscal or monetary policies by selling government bonds, in the process pushing up yields, or implied borrowing costs. Most of the focus on markets in the wake of Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on the rest of the world has, in the last week, been about the calamitous stock market reaction. During his first term in the White House, the president took the strength of US equities - in particular the S&P 500 - as being a barometer of the success, or otherwise, of his administration.
