Soros Fund Management Cuts Stake In Ford From ~190M Shares To ~19.3M Shares

President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tBiXMMTdrM&amp;t=13s">said</a> that revenue from tariffs could potentially eliminate the need for the federal income tax, citing the period from 1870 to 1913 when tariffs were the primary source of federal income and the nation experienced significant prosperity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Record Revenue Meets Real-World Roadblocks</h2>
That claim to Fox News comes as U.S. customs duties surged to a historic high in April. The<a href="https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts0425.pdf"> Treasury Department </a>reported collecting a record $16.3 billion in customs duties—driven by steep new tariffs—marking the highest single-month total ever recorded.
April&#8217;s spike followed the rollout of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44237846/trump-proposes-special-a-gold-card-for-wealthy-immigrants-that-costs-5-million-says-selling-enou">Trump&#8217;s</a> newly enacted tariffs, including a 25% steel tariff and a sweeping 10% universal tariff that went into effect on April 2.

</ul>
Still, the broader financial picture tells a different story. As of March, The Treasury has already reached the current debt limit of $36.1 trillion, according to<a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61265"> the Congressional Budget Office</a>. The federal deficit reached<a href="https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/"> $1.31 trillion</a> in the first half of fiscal 2025.
"If you get to $100 billion to $200 billion, you'll be pretty lucky," Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/01/tariffs-may-raise-much-less-than-white-house-projects-economists-say.html">CNBC</a>, offering a reality check and arguing that tariffs alone won't replace income tax burdens.
The auto sector is already feeling the squeeze.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-hikes-prices-mexico-produced-models-citing-tariffs-2025-05-07/"> Reuters</a> reviewed a memo sent by Ford Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) to dealers on May 7, which said that the company would raise prices by $2,000 on three models assembled in Mexico—the Mustang Mach-E, Maverick, and Bronco Sport—due to new tariffs. <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000037996/f84f5dbe-040c-4931-902d-beeabbb356f0.pdf">Ford is bracing for $2.5 billion</a> in added costs and has suspended its 2025 financial guidance.&nbsp;

Beyond auto, the ripple effect stretches into food and beverage. In Pittsburgh, small businesses like Brew Gentlemen Brewery and Lotus Foods have reported delays, cost spikes, and logistical hurdles that some say echo COVID-era supply chain chaos, according to<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/01/trump-tariffs-pittsburgh-covid-2-0-us-economy"> The Guardian</a>.
Internationally, the situation is escalating. The European Union is preparing a €100 billion ($113 billion) retaliation plan—including tariffs on Boeing aircraft—if U.S.-EU negotiations break down. The move follows the U.S.&#8217;s April 2 decision to impose a 20% tariff on nearly all EU exports, as the<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/42458681-95c4-463e-866d-1c6968e61df6"> Financial Times</a> reported.

Trump Says Tariff Money Could 'Replace The Income Tax' — April Customs Collections Hit Record $15.4 Billion As New Duties Take Effect

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) recalls nearly 274,000 SUVs in the U.S. due to a brake line defect.
The <a href="https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCLRPT-25V314-7594.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recall</a> affects certain Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models built between 2022 and 2024.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, front brake lines in some vehicles may have been bent during assembly. This could cause them to contact the engine air cleaner outlet pipe and increase the crash risk. 
Of the 273,789 affected vehicles, about 223,315 are Expeditions and 50,474 are Navigators. Ford traced the issue to its Kentucky Truck Plant, where a revised radiator hose stowage procedure was introduced in November 2024.

As of April, Ford received 45 warranty claims, two field reports, and two customer service complaints related to the issue. No one reported accidents or injuries thus far. The company&#8217;s Field Review Committee approved the recall on May 2, 2025.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct them to bring their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the front brake line.

Ford Issues Recall Of Over 270,000 Vehicles As Safety Concerns Mount

The recent trade agreement between the&nbsp;U.K.&nbsp;and the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;has been met with disapproval from&nbsp;China, potentially adding more complexity to London&#8217;s ongoing efforts to rebuild its relations with Beijing.
What Happened: The trade pact, which imposes strict security measures on Britain&#8217;s steel and pharmaceutical sectors, is the first of its kind since the U.S. introduced &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; last month. China&#8217;s foreign ministry expressed that it is a &#8220;fundamental principle&#8221; that agreements between nations should not be aimed at other countries, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/52f7be1c-e708-4b01-b486-7f189a52c842">reported</a> the Financial Times.
This situation puts London in a delicate position between the two economic powers and may further complicate the U.K. government&#8217;s efforts to rebuild ties with China. Beijing cautioned countries against trade deals with the U.S. that could harm Chinese interests, concerned that President Trump may use such agreements to push China out of supply chains.
"Co-operation between states should not be conducted against or to the detriment of the interests of third parties,"&nbsp; the Chinese foreign ministry told the publication. 
Meanwhile, Zhang Yansheng, a senior researcher at the China Academy of Macroeconomic Research, saw this as Washington&#8217;s attempt to &#8220;isolate&#8221; China. According to him, "This type of poison pill clause is actually worse than the tariffs." Yansheng urges China to discuss the matter with the U.K. without any retaliation.

Why It Matters: This development follows the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45293839/trump-starmer-strike-us-uk-trade-deal-steel-cars-beef">US-UK trade deal</a>&nbsp;that was sealed earlier this month, aimed at cutting tariffs, boosting industrial ties and securing billions in new market access. The trade agreement also entails reductions in punitive U.S. tariffs on U.K. car and steel exports, though it stops short of fully eliminating the baseline 10% tariff on British goods. Tariff relief for British products depends on the outcome of Section 232 investigations, which assess how certain imports affect U.S. national security.
However, the deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45314561/trumps-uk-trade-deal-draws-criticism-from-ford-gm-stellantis-this-hurts-american-automakers-suppliers-and-auto-workers">drew criticism</a> from American automakers, including&nbsp;Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), who feared it could harm the U.S. auto industry. 
Furthermore, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45374966/xi-jinping-warns-bullying-and-hegemony-will-only-result-in-self-isolation-in-first-remarks-since-us-china-tariff-suspension">warned </a>that &#8220;bullying and hegemony will only result in self-isolation,&#8221; in his first remarks since the 90-day U.S.-China tariff suspension. This statement indirectly referred to the U.S. and could be seen as a cautionary message to other nations, including the U.K.
In response to China&#8217;s criticism U.K. government stated, &nbsp;"trade and investment with China remain important to the U.K." and that it would continue &#8220;to engage pragmatically in areas that are rooted in U.K. and global interests".

China Slams UK-US Trade Pact, Finds It 'Against' Its Interests: 'This Type Of Poison Pill Clause Is Actually Worse Than The Tariffs'

Elon Musk and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could have company soon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/04/45014243/bezos-vs-tesla-vs-rivian-stock-company-backed-by-amazon-founder-can-turn-20k-ev-truck-into-suv">with the launch </a>of the Slate electric pickup truck, a new electric vehicle from a company backed by Amazon.com founder and Musk rival Jeff Bezos.
If early demand is any indication, the Slate EV pickup truck could be a hit.
What Happened: The electric pickup truck market has entries from several companies with Tesla, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) all trying to capture new customers and get existing truck owners to make the switch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">to an EV.</a>
Early demand for the Slate pickup truck could indicate a new player in the market and a rival for those three companies.
Slate Auto, which counts Bezos among its early investors, has over 100,000 refundable reservations in the two weeks since unveiling its pickup truck design, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/12/slate-auto-crosses-100000-refundable-reservations-in-two-weeks/">according </a>to TechCrunch.
"We are truly humbled by American's response to Slate's brand launch and the launch of our truck," Slate's Chief Commercial Officer Jeremy Snyder told TechCrunch. "We are excited for what the future holds."
The company unveiled the truck will start below $20,000 with the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Slate also unveiled that the truck can be converted into an SUV, one of the key features that sets the vehicle apart.
Slate said it will have capacity to make as many as 150,000 vehicles at an Indiana factory by the end of 2027.

How Reservations Stack Up: The 100,000 reservations figure includes the company charging a $50 refundable deposit to secure a place in line for the future truck.
For comparison, Tesla previously collected a $1,000 non-refundable deposit for its highly-anticipated Cybertruck. Third-party estimates showed that Tesla<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33995360/how-many-cybertruck-reservations-are-there-tesla-fans-predict-a-staggering-total-ahead-of-launch"> may have had millions of reservations </a>for the pickup truck before launch, while Tesla officially confirmed it had more than one million reservations.
Reservations don't always turn into sales as Tesla has found out. There were 39,965 Cybertrucks sold in the United States in 2024<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42986863/us-electric-vehicle-sales-hit-record-1-3-million-units-in-2024-despite-tesla-declines-top-10-bestsel"> according to estimates</a> from Kelley Blue Book. A Cybertruck recall issued in March showed 46,096 Cybertrucks on the list based on sales from November 2023 through February 2025.
The Cybertruck ranked fifth for U.S. EV sales in 2024, with the F-150 Lightning truck from Ford ranking sixth with 33,510 units sold.
With a starting price point of under $20,000, the Slate vehicle could be considerably cheaper than other electric pickup trucks, like the ones below, with starting prices&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-trucks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from&nbsp;</a>Kelley Blue Book.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>F-150 Lightning:&nbsp;$57,090</li>
<li>Chevrolet Silverado EV: $75,195</li>
<li>R1T: $71,700</li>
<li>Cybertruck: $82,235</li>
</ul>
The $50 refundable deposit compared to the $1,000 non-refundable deposit make the Slate vs. Tesla comparisons tough to muster.
As TechCrunch points out, there is also a history of electric vehicle companies claiming large reservation numbers only to fail to be successful. Fisker claimed 60,000 reservations of the Ocean SUV and sold only a few thousand before declaring bankruptcy. Lordstown Motors also claimed preorder figures for its pickup truck only to later be charged by the SEC for misleading investors with preorder figures and later declaring bankruptcy.

Jeff Bezos-Backed Slate Hits 100K EV Reservations In 2 Weeks: How It Compares To Cybertruck Launch

House Republicans on Monday introduced legislation to eliminate the electric vehicle tax credit and repeal fuel efficiency rules, potentially disrupting billions in automaker investments amid growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">industry concerns about abrupt policy changes</a>.
What Happened: The proposal, scheduled for a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Tuesday, would terminate the $7,500 new-vehicle tax credit and $4,000 used-vehicle credit on December 31, though it extends the new-vehicle credit one year for automakers that haven&#8217;t reached 200,000 EV sales, Reuters reported.
While preserving the crucial battery production tax credit, the bill adds a provision barring credits for vehicles using components from Chinese companies or made under Chinese licensing agreements starting in 2027. This could impact automakers like Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) that utilize Chinese battery technology, the report noted.
The legislation would also rescind any unobligated funding from an advanced technology vehicle loan program that recently finalized several major deals, including $9.63 billion to Ford-SK On joint venture, $7.54 billion to Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>)-Samsung SDI venture, and $6.57 billion to Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).

Why It Matters: Electric Drive Transportation Association President Genevieve Cullen criticized the proposal as &#8220;catastrophically short-sighted,&#8221; arguing it would deliver &#8220;an enormous market advantage&#8221; to competitors like China while threatening U.S. manufacturing jobs.
The move aligns with comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">who recently stated</a>, &#8220;I think there is a better chance we kill it than save it,&#8221; regarding the EV credit program. Industry experts project the incentives could cost $200 billion over the next decade.
Major U.S. automakers, including General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford, have urged the President Donald Trump administration to phase out credits gradually rather than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43648415/tesla-rivals-call-for-gradual-elimination-of-ev-tax-credits-many-of-those-jobs-will-be-at-risk">eliminate them immediately</a>, warning that jobs in the growing &#8220;Battery Belt&#8221; across 12 states could be at risk. 
The U.S. has already committed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43648415/tesla-rivals-call-for-gradual-elimination-of-ev-tax-credits-many-of-those-jobs-will-be-at-risk">approximately $200 billion</a> to create 200,000 EV-related jobs.

What Happened: The Chinese battery giant will aim to raise the figure by selling over 117.9 million shares priced at HK$263 ($33.75) on the Hong Kong stock exchange, Reuters reported on Monday.
The report also suggests that the deal could be raised to $5.3 billion if an offer size adjustment and a Greenshoe option are implemented, which essentially allows the underwriters to sell more shares if there is sufficient demand.
This is the biggest listing on the planet so far this year, the report said and the final price for the listing could be announced on or before May 19. The company says it will use the money raised to develop its Hungary manufacturing facility.
Why It Matters: News of the listing comes in as CATL <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43613949/tesla-supplier-catl-eyes-5-billion-hong-kong-listing-amid-us-sanctions-market-revival-report">was previously eyeing a listing</a> in Hong Kong worth over $5 billion amid growing U.S.-China trade tensions.
The China-based EV battery manufacturer had also recently taken the wraps off its new battery, which offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44894382/tesla-battery-supplier-catl-unveils-new-fast-charging-battery-with-323-mile-range-in-five-minutes">over 323 miles of range</a> on a 5-minute charge.
CATL's clients include companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), as well as Volkswagen AG (OTCPK: VLKAF).
Elsewhere, the Chinese EV industry is making headway into other markets throughout the world, with BYD Co.Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) having laid out plans to construct a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">factory in Hungary</a> to aid its European strategy. The factory could help BYD produce over 200,000 vehicles annually.

Tesla Battery Supplier CATL Eyes Over $4B In Hong Kong Listing — Could Become 2025's Biggest IPO Yet

On Sunday, University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers highlighted the unusual carveouts in the new U.S.-U.K. trade framework, with leading British brands such as Rolls-Royce Plc, Aston Martin, Bentley, and several other high-end automakers effectively dodging the tariffs.
What Happened: During his appearance on Times Radio, Wolfers called the decision &#8220;politically insane,&#8221; arguing that it undermines the administration's stated goal of protecting American workers and reshoring production.
Wolfers finds it amazing that President Donald Trump said &#8220;we've got to give them a break on the Rolls-Royces because they're beautifully made, handcrafted cars,&#8221; since the &#8220;whole point of the tariffs is to bring production to America,&#8221; he says.

&#8220;We have tariffs on bananas, something no American worker is ever going to learn to grow,&#8221; Wolfers said, pointing to similarly inexplicable duties on vanilla and diamonds, which the U.S. can't produce or mine. And yet, &#8220;the one thing we definitely can't do [without] is Rolls-Royces, so that gets a special carveout.&#8221;
Wolfers wonders if &#8220;these people&#8221; just see the parking lot at Mar-a-Lago and think &#8220;well that's what people drive, that will help working and middle class Americans,&#8221; highlighting the absurdity of this move.
Why It Matters: Wolfers has repeatedly criticized the aimless, shifting goalposts and <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45091467/trump-can-either-have-his-cake-or-eat-it-economist-justin-wolfers-calls-out-presidents-fundamental-incoherence-on-trade-deals-and-tariffs">&#8220;fundamentally incoherent&#8221; nature</a> of Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Just a week ago, he stated that Trump can either have a deal or tariff revenue, no both.
Just a day after the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs were unveiled, Wolfers called it &#8220;monstrously destructive,&#8221; and something <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44620423/trumps-sweeping-tariffs-could-cost-us-20-trillion-crash-markets-warn-economists-monstrously-destructive">that would hurt</a> &#8220;working Americans more than anyone else.&#8221;

Trump's UK Trade Carveouts Baffles Economist Justin Wolfers: Bentley, Rolls-Royce Exemption Is 'Politically Insane'

A consortium including&nbsp;General Motors&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>),&nbsp;Ford&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and&nbsp;Stellantis&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) has voiced criticism over President Donald Trump&#8216;s latest trade agreement with the United Kingdom. The group fears the deal could harm the U.S. auto industry.
What Happened: The American Automotive Policy Council, representing the Detroit Three, expressed its apprehensions, stating, &#8220;Under&nbsp;this deal, it will now&nbsp;be cheaper to import a&nbsp;U.K. vehicle with very little&nbsp;U.S. content than a USMCA&nbsp;compliant vehicle from Mexico or&nbsp;Canada that is half American&nbsp;parts. This&nbsp;hurts American automakers, suppliers, and&nbsp;auto workers.&#8221;
The new trade agreement permits British automakers to export up to 100,000 cars to the U.S. annually at a reduced tariff rate of 10%. This figure is almost equivalent to Britain&#8217;s total exports last year and is considerably lower than the 25% tariff imposed on Mexico, Canada, and most other nations, reported Reuters.
The council is concerned that this deal could set a precedent, potentially disadvantaging vehicles assembled in Canada or Mexico in future agreements. The council also expressed hope that &#8220;this&nbsp;preferential access for U.K. vehicles&nbsp;over North American ones does&nbsp;not set a precedent for&nbsp;future negotiations with Asian and&nbsp;European competitors.&#8221;

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The U.S.-U.K. trade deal was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45293839/trump-starmer-strike-us-uk-trade-deal-steel-cars-beef">sealed on Wednesday</a>, aiming to cut tariffs, strengthen industrial ties, and secure billions in new market access. 
However, the auto industry has been grappling with tariff uncertainties. Trump eased auto tariff impacts on parts and North American components under USMCA but kept the 25% tariff on imported vehicles, disappointing automakers hoping for broader relief.

The auto giant updated its forecast to reflect an expected tariff-related impact of $4 to $5 billion, given the current regulatory and policy landscape.
Ford stock climbed 8.2% over the past month, while General Motors rose 3.52% during the same period. On the other hand, Stellantis fell 2.37% over the past 30 days.

Ford, GM, Stellantis Slam Trump's UK Trade Deal: 'This Hurts American Automakers, Suppliers And Auto Workers'

U.S. stock futures fluctuated between gains and losses on Friday, following a three-day winning streak. Major benchmark index futures were mixed in premarket trading.
The U.S. and U.K.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45293839/trump-starmer-strike-us-uk-trade-deal-steel-cars-beef"> sealed a bilateral trade deal</a>, cutting tariffs, boosting industrial ties, and securing billions in new market access. 
A central component of the trade agreement involves the U.S. significantly reducing tariffs on cars made in the UK, bringing them down from 25% to 10% and establishing an annual quota of 100,000 vehicles.
The U.K. will eliminate tariffs on American-made cars, including those from General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and expedite their passage through customs.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.37% and the two-year bond was at 3.86%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing an 82.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;Tariffs are steering the boat again.&#8221;
He said that Trump&#8217;s announcement of the U.S. striking a comprehensive agreement with the U.K. and Scott Bessent&#8217;s announcement of a meeting in Switzerland with China to discuss tariffs are propelling the market.
&#8220;This helps explain the long recovery rally since the Liberation Day announcement of tariffs on April 2nd. The fear of missing out on favorable agreements being reached has limited the number of sellers,&#8221; he said.
He added, &#8220;The upside story will be that the tariff agreements will result in mutually low tariffs, which should be generally beneficial for U.S. exporters, as Trump has contended all along.&#8221;
He also said that Trump announcing a definitive deal with the U.K. is an &#8220;important first step in reducing tariff fears.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni or Yardeni Research agreed with the sentiment and added, &#8220;President Donald Trump will need to declare victories in his trade wars with multiple countries around the world sooner rather than later.&#8221;
Yardeni also explained that Trump and his fellow Republicans have to avoid a recession caused by his tariff wars. Otherwise, they risk losing their thin majorities in both houses of Congress later in 2026, as per Yardeni.
&#8220;The correction in the S&amp;P 500 that started on February 19 ended on April 8. The S&amp;P 500 now has regained almost all its losses since the April 2 close, just before it tanked during the Annihilation Days on April 3 and April 4,&#8221; he said.
According to Yardeni, the stock market will soon have &#8220;deals fatigue and tire of Trump&#8217;s declarations of victory.&#8221;
&#8220;We think the trade issue will be behind us by July or August. If so, then the focus should be on how much Trump&#8217;s tariff skirmishes weighed on the economy and earnings. We expect both will remain surprisingly resilient,&#8221; he added.

US Stock Futures Flicker Between Gains And Losses After Strong Three-Day Run: 'Tariffs Are Steering The Boat Again,' Says Expert

The U.S. and U.K. sealed a bilateral trade deal Wednesday, cutting tariffs, boosting industrial ties and securing billions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">in new market access</a>. 
The announcement came during a White House press conference where President Donald Trump unveiled the agreement alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. 
Among the highlights: The U.S. will slash tariffs on UK-made cars, while the U.K. will reduce tariffs on ethanol imported from the U.S. to zero.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Slashed On Autos, Beef and Steel</h3>
Among the most consequential elements of the pact: the U.S. will cut tariffs on UK-made cars from 25% to 10%, granting British automakers a quota of 100,000 vehicles annually. In return, the UK will eliminate tariffs on American cars like those from General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and fast-track US exports through customs.
The auto provision alone could support tens of thousands of jobs across the UK manufacturing sector. 
"The UK is the fourth largest export market for the U.S." said US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Lutnick indicated that the US-UK agreement could add over $5 billion in new opportunities for American exporters — particularly in agriculture and heavy industry — while protecting domestic jobs. "This is what happens when you have a dealmaker in the room," he said. "What would've taken years took 45 days."
Additionally, U.S. tariffs on UK steel — previously set at 25% — will be reduced.
The U.S. and UK agreed to reduce tariffs on beef imports and exports to near-zero levels.
Currently, U.S. tariffs on British beef range from 4% to 26%, while the U.K. imposes up to 20% on American beef. Those barriers now come down dramatically. Trump described it as "billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Industrial And Aerospace Wins</h3>
Beyond cars and cattle, the deal unlocks new opportunities in industrial goods, machinery, chemicals and aerospace. 
Rolls-Royce Holdings will now be able to export jet engines to Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) tariff-free. In return, a major UK airline is expected to announce a $10 billion purchase of Boeing aircraft later this week.
Shares of Boeing and Rolls Royce rallied over 2% on the news. 
Trump praised the agreement as a new model for international commerce, saying it underscores "reciprocity and fairness as vital principles of global trade." 
Starmer called it a "fantastic, historic day.&#8221; The deal, finalized almost 80 years to the hour after Victory in Europe Day, aims to preserve and create jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.
"Economic security is national security," Starmer said. "Now we take this into the territory of trade and the economy — and it builds on our unparalleled intelligence, defense and diplomatic partnership."
The trade pact also includes provisions for stronger export controls, supply chain protections, and collaborative standards for strategic industries — particularly steel, pharmaceuticals and aviation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">First Deal After Tariff Pause, More Coming Soon</h3>
This UK agreement marks the first breakthrough since Trump paused his sweeping global tariffs for a 90-day negotiation window in early April. 
"We are very close to more deals," he said, noting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is heading to Switzerland to negotiate with China. 
"They want to make a deal," Trump said, also teasing progress on trade talks with the European Union.
&#8220;We&#8217;d like to see China opened up so we can compete in China,&#8221; Trump said. 
The President also indicated that the 10% baseline tariff applied to the UK won&#8217;t be a template for future deals. 
&#8220;That&#8217;s a low number, they made a good deal. Many [countries] will be much higher [tariffs] because they have massive trade surpluses,&#8221; he said.

President Trump Says Going To Have Large Share Of Chipmaking Market; Think 10% Baseline Is Set; 10% Baseline Is Not A Template For Future Deals; 10% Is A Low Number, Others Will Be Higher; Template Of 10% Is Probably The Lowest End; Won't Do A Similar Deal With Cars

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) will reportedly hike the sticker prices of some of the company's vehicles produced in Mexico.
What Happened: Prices of Ford models like the Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Sport, as well as the Maverick pickup truck, could see a price hike of up to $2,000, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The report suggests that the hike would apply to models produced after May 2, which, according to a Ford spokesperson in the report, could arrive at dealerships in June. The spokesperson also outlined that these hikes are a part of the company's usual pricing actions.
However, they reiterated that customers won't have to bear the full brunt of the tariffs currently casting uncertainty over the auto industry. "We have not passed on the full cost of tariffs to our customers," the spokesperson said.
Why It Matters: Ford shared at the company's Q1 earnings call with investors that the company expects Donald Trump's auto tariffs to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45217767/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-tariffs-could-cost-ford-1-5-billion-pulls-its-earnings-guidance">cost over $1.5 billion</a> to the company. The company also pulled its earnings guidance.
However, Ford CEO Jim Farley recently shared that the Detroit-based automaker will extend the employee price program for all of its customers through July as the company saw <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45160044/jim-farley-says-ford-sales-grew-16-in-april-ahead-of-earnings-call-customers-have-really-responded-to-our">a 16% surge in sales</a> during April.
Elsewhere, the Trump administration has announced it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45059191/donald-trump-will-reduce-impact-on-us-auto-industry-by-alleviating-some-auto-tarrifs-report">alleviate some duties</a> levied on auto companies and prevent ‘stacking' of tariffs, in a move that could give automakers in the U.S. some relief.
