London CNN  —  President Donald Trump might want a new, “America First” world, but in the race to control inflation the United States may actually come last. That’s because, while his tariff hikes are widely expected to jack up prices at home, they could lower inflation across the pond.

Aside from the benefit to consumers’ pockets, lower inflation will give European policymakers room to cut interest rates if the economy needs a helping hand —…

New York CNN  —  Many Americans might not have felt major effects from President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs — until now. That’s because a major shipping loophole expired at one minute past midnight on Friday.

The loophole helped reshape the way countless Americans shop, allowing ultra-low-cost Chinese e-commerce sites like Shein, Temu and AliExpress to pour everything from yarn to patio furniture, clothes to photography equipment and more into…

Washington CNN  —  The Trump administration this week continued digging in on its claim that symbols tattooed on the fingers of Kilmar Abrego Garcia – a cross, a skull, a smiley face and a marijuana leaf – are proof that the man they wrongly deported to El Salvador is a member of MS-13. But gang experts disagree, telling CNN that the tattoos alone are not proof of membership in the gang. “I see a bunch of symbols that could be interpreted any number of ways,” Jorja Leap, a University of California, Los Angeles professor who has served as an expert…

Reuters  —  Germany’s domestic intelligence agency on Friday classified the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as an extremist entity that threatens democracy, a move enabling it to better monitor the party that came second in February’s federal election. The BfV agency’s finding, based on a 1,100-page expert report, that the AfD is racist and anti-Muslim allows the authorities to increase surveillance of the party, including by recruiting confidential informants and intercepting communications. The stigma could also hamper the party’s ability to attract members, while public funding could be at risk. The AfD, which currently tops several opinion polls, condemned the…
