In comments outside the White House, Trump singled out Australian beef, which saw a surge in exports to the United States last year, reaching A$4 billion amid a slump in U.S. beef production. «They won't take any of our beef. They don't want it because they don't want it to affect their farmers and you know, I don't blame them but we're doing the same thing right now,» Trump said in an event in the White House Rose Garden announcing tariffs on a wide range of U.S. trading partners. Australia banned U.S. fresh beef products in 2003 due to the detection of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, otherwise known as mad cow disease, in U.S. cattle. BSE poses a risk to human health and has never been detected in cattle in Australia. Albanese said Trump had imposed a 10% duty on all Australian goods entering the United States, equivalent to the U.S. baseline tariff on all imports, despite U.S. goods entering Australia tariff free.

Mallory McMorrow has announced her candidacy for the US Senate seat, currently held by Democrat Gary Peters. Senator Peters is set to retire in 2026. The 38-year-old Democrat has become the first prominent candidate to formally enter the race. Her entry has set the stage for what is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive senate battlers of the midterms. McMorrow, who represents a suburban Detroit district, positioned herself as a fresh alternative to the Democratic Party’s current leadership, the reports stated. The politician, in her campaign launch video, called for a ‘new generation of leadership’. She also criticised party veterans for their failure to offer a clear plan to counter President Donald Trump’s influence.

Elon Musk, who spent millions opposing her. The most expensive race of its kind drew national attention, owing to Elon Musk's significant investment in Brad Schimel's campaign, which ultimately failed to sway voters. The ostensibly nonpartisan race turned into the costliest state Supreme Court race in American history, serving as the first significant battleground state election of President Donald Trump's second term. Following Crawford's win in the first battleground state election of Donald Trump's second term, liberals will continue to hold a slim majority on the court. According to NBC News, Democratic-backed Dane County circuit judge Susan Crawford defeated former Republican attorney general Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County circuit judge, to win a 10-year term on the court. Donald Trump and Elon Musk, his multibillionaire advisor, suffer as a result.

Devang Shah, Head, Fixed Income, Axis MF, says RBI has infused close to Rs 8 lakh crore of liquidity including the announcement on OMOs and this liquidity injection is very positive and near-term liquidity problems may get sorted out. In fact, Shah’s assessment is that from here till September, we will see a positive banking liquidity and a positive durable liquidity to upwards of around Rs 2-3 lakh crore. Now they will probably have to start looking at some bit of absorption of liquidity because liquidity should be in a decent surplus. We are looking at surplus liquidity coming into the system for the first time by the Reserve Bank of India. Do you think markets should now stop complaining? There is surplus liquidity in the system. Devang Shah: You are absolutely right. Last year, after the entire forex intervention and significant currency leakage, durable liquidity as well as banking liquidity, both had turned negative. If you look across from June to September 2024, post the RBI dividend declaration, we were in significant surplus liquidity. From there, we went into a massive deficit liquidity. Again, thanks to all the proactive measures which RBI collectively put together including tools like CRR, VRR, OMOs, as well as this entire facility on FX, RBI must have infused close to Rs 8 lakh crore of liquidity including the announcement on OMOs.
