markets Provident Manufacturing WhatsApp Infinity President Nissan says it will not take new US orders for Mexican-built Infiniti SUVs

Nissan Motor said on Thursday it will not take new orders from the U.S. for two Mexican-built Infiniti SUVs, following auto tariffs levied by President Donald Trump, in a drastic scale-back of its operations at a joint venture plant. The Japanese automaker said it would now maintain two shifts of production of the Rogue SUV at its Smyrna, Tennessee, plant after announcing in January it would end one of the two shifts this month. Nissan will not accept any additional orders of the Infiniti QX50 and QX55 SUVs for the U.S. market produced at the COMPAS plant it has run together with Mercedes-Benz in Mexico. Nissan said production is expected to continue for those models sold in other markets. It remained unclear how much of the production is sold in other markets. The two Infiniti models have only been exported from Mexico to the U.S., according to data from Mexico's national statistics agency. A Japan-based Nissan spokesperson said on Saturday the models are produced for and exported to markets such as Mexico, Panama, the Middle East and Canada, without providing details on its production plans for the vehicles.

MET Ball Sustainability WhatsApp voice stars CSK vs DC Playing 11: Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals' predicted playing XI for today's IPL match

IPL 2025 campaign in style, sharing the top spot with Punjab Kings (PBKS), while Chennai Super Kings (CSK) find themselves under pressure after a rocky start. CSK has suffered back-to-back losses — including their heaviest-ever defeat at Chepauk against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and a narrow miss against Rajasthan Royals (RR). With the team returning home this Saturday, they'll be hoping to turn things around at their fortress. However, concerns linger over captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s fitness after he sustained an injury in the previous game. Should he be unavailable, veteran MS Dhoni is expected to take over the captaincy reins once again. Frustration has also been building within the CSK camp regarding pitch conditions. Following the RCB loss, head coach Stephen Fleming was seen inspecting the surface with the curator. He later voiced concerns about the Chepauk pitches, which have failed to offer the spin support CSK had banked on while assembling their squad.

UPS Provident Williams Patrick Rugby Pride Inside Moana Pasifika come from behind to rout NSW Waratahs in Super Rugby showdown

The team, comprising of players of Pasifika heritage, have been dominant in the second half of their matches this season, scoring nearly 63% of their total points. The victory over Waratahs is Moana Pasifika’s first back-to-back wins since joining Super Rugby Pacific in 2022. The Waratahs remain winless away from home this season. Moana Pasifika captain Ardie Savea, an All Black player, expressed his pride in his team's resilience and highlighted the impact of their bench players. The team's focus on fundamental skills like set pieces, carrying, and cleaning contributed to their second-half dominance, he pointed out. The two halves of the match had dramatically different outcomes. The Waratahs capitalized on early Moana Pasifika errors, scoring tries through winger Triston Reilly (twice) and Andrew Kellaway. Teddy Wilson also contributed to the Waratahs' first-half lead. A wayward Moana Pasifika lineout throw provided the opportunity for Wilson's initial contribution, leading to Reilly's first try. A missed quick tap penalty inside the Waratahs' 10m further hampered Moana Pasifika. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii's strong run set up Reilly’s second try. Feleti Sae Ta’ufo’ou scored Moana Pasifika’s first try.

She will have the protection of about a dozen armed commandos for her personal protection as well as for her home, the sources said.

markets COST economy Photos country Videos Colleges US consumers rush to buy big-ticket items before Trump's tariffs kick in

Trump announced expansive new import tariffs Wednesday, including a 32% tax on imports from Taiwan. That same day, Gutierrez ordered the laptop, with a base price of $2,400, from a retailer in New York specializing in photo and video gear. «I thought I'd bite the bullet, buy it now, and then that way I'll have the latest technology on my laptop and don't have to worry about the tariffs,» he said. Gutierrez was among the U.S. consumers rushing to buy big-ticket items before the tariffs take effect. Economists say the tariffs are expected to increase prices for everyday items, warning of potentially weakened U.S. economic growth. The White House hopes the tariffs prod countries to open their economies to more American exports, leading to negotiations that could reduce tariffs, or that companies increase their production in the U.S. to avoid higher import taxes. Rob Blackwell and his wife needed a new car that could handle long drives from Arlington, Virginia, to their son's college. Their current electric vehicle is older with a limited range, and it will soon be used by his daughter, who is on the verge of getting her driver's license.

markets economy President War social reports Videos Did Warren Buffett really call Trump’s tariff move ‘the best economic move in 50 years’?

Warren Buffett wants the world to know: he’s not cheering Donald Trump’s tariff spree. And he hasn’t said a word about it—despite what viral videos and presidential posts might suggest. Berkshire Hathaway issued a rare public statement on Friday, flatly denying that Buffett ever praised Trump’s recent economic measures. “There are reports currently circulating on social media (including Twitter, Facebook and TikTok) regarding comments allegedly made by Warren E. Buffett. All such reports are false,” the company said. The clarification came hours after US President Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social claiming Buffett had declared Trump was making “the best economic moves he’s seen in over 50 years.” The video, originally posted by an Instagram user called «AmericanPapaBear,» suggested Trump was “crashing” the stock market on purpose to make equities cheaper for the middle class. Trump’s repost came just as global markets were convulsing in response to his new tariffs.

Strategy Trade country social reports Tariffs stir talks: India, Vietnam and Israel hustle for deals with team Trump

These negotiations come just days after the US imposed a series of new tariffs affecting several nations, including a levy of 26% on India. According to Reuters, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the levies with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A State Department readout of their meeting confirmed that the tariff discussions are part of a broader diplomatic effort. The talks are centered on a relatively small subset of the countries impacted by the new tariffs, with both parties looking to strike deals. This is seen as the first phase of a larger set of negotiations, as countries begin to assess their next steps and responses to the tariff changes. On Friday, Vietnam, which is facing a 46% tariff on its exports to the US, announced that it intends to reduce its tariffs on US goods to zero, pending an agreement with the US.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant and bowler Digvesh Singh have both been penalised following LSG’s IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

Additionally, Digvesh Singh has been fined 50% of his match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. This fine follows his second Level 1 offence under Article 2.5 this season. Singh had previously accumulated one demerit point in LSG’s match against Punjab Kings on April 1, 2025, bringing his total to two demerit points after this latest breach.

UPS Racing Lawson Oscar performer track Japanese Grand Prix: Jack Doohan crashes, McLaren's Oscar Piastri takes top spot in second practice session

Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka were disrupted by multiple red flags due to crashes and track fires, with McLaren driver Oscar Piastri clocking the fastest time to emerge at the top. Alpine team's Jack Doohan was involved in a crash which led to a brief stoppage in the practice session. New Zealand's Liam Lawson, recently demoted to Racing Bulls, outperformed Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda, who had replaced him. Alpine driver Jack Doohan crashed at the 160mph at the first corner during the second practice session after failing to deactivate his DRS. Team principal Oliver Oakes attributed the incident to «a misjudgement» and a «something to learn from.» The crash caused significant damage to Doohan's car but he escaped without any injuries. “It was a heavy one, something that caught me by surprise, and I will learn from it. I know the team has a lot of work ahead to repair the car,” said the Formula One driver after checking with his team. The DRS issue arose because Doohan lifted off the throttle but didn’t brake, causing the DRS to remain open. This reduced downforce, leading to the spin and subsequent crash. Doohan was participating in only his fourth F1 race, and his car had been driven by reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa in the first practice session.
