CNN  —  Republicans pushed Elon Musk on Wednesday in a pair of private meetings to move his efforts to slash federal spending and the federal workforce through Congress, as lawmakers vie for a seat at the table in the sweeping effort to overhaul government. It’s a sign that Republicans are looking to reassert their power of the purse in the months ahead. In meetings with Senate and House Republicans, the tech billionaire walked the lawmakers through how the Department of Government Efficiency has approached cuts to the federal government. The meetings come as multiple GOP lawmakers have been making the…

New York CNN  —  The US tariffs on Canadian fuel imports could hit some parts of the country harder than others. The Northeast could see that change first, according to experts, and prices are also at risk of rising on the West Coast. But even those potential hikes would be unlikely to be come immediately. The tariffs put in place Tuesday were 25% for most imports but only 10% for energy products. While US domestic oil production reached a world record 4.7 billion barrels of oil in 2024, Canada is still a major source of oil for the United States,…

CNN  —  It’s a sign of these extraordinary times that even the Kremlin’s old propagandists are scrambling to change their tune. Across state-controlled Russian media, disparaging references to “the collective West” and “Anglo-Saxons” – thinly-veiled diplomatic code for US-led states – have been quietly dropped. Instead, it’s just what the Kremlin calls “the old world” of Europe, without its US partner, being singled out for criticism. On his top-rated news show, Dmitry Kisylov, a prominent state mouthpiece who once boasted how Russia could reduce the United States to a smouldering pile of radioactive ash, is now talking about a “great…

The strategy, while still opaque, is hardly surprising coming from two businessmen accustomed to the world of private enterprise, where CEOs tend to rule like kings and face little outside scrutiny.

Washington CNN  —  When President Donald Trump declared in the House Chamber this week that executives at the nation’s top automakers were “so excited” about their prospects amid his new tariff regime, it did not entirely reflect the conversation he’d held with them earlier that day. Ford Motors, GM and Stellantis argued on that call that the new 25% tariffs the president applied on Canada and Mexico earlier this week could disadvantage their American-based businesses in favor of foreign carmakers — appealing directly to Trump for a reprieve, administration officials said. The message seemed to break through. A day later,…

A phone call between President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the 25% tariffs imposed by the Trump administration this week grew heated and included profanity, a report said.   The Wall Street Journal cited a person familiar with the matter when describing the nature of the call. Canada has imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs against U.S. goods. The discussion, which lasted 50 minutes on Wednesday, was a “colorful call” but also “very substantive,” Trudeau said Thursday, according to…
