Biden will call on U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to triple tariffs on Chinese
steel and aluminum, NPR reports. .
Those tariffs are presently at about 7.5%.
While these Chinese imports "account for less than 1% of U.S. demand," the country's steel prices are 40% cheaper than America's, NPR reports. .
The White House is concerned that
this could prompt a surge of exports. .
China's policy-driven overcapacity poses
a serious risk to the future of the
American steel and aluminum industry, Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The president understands
we must invest in American
manufacturing, but we also have
to protect those investments and
those workers from unfair exports. , Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The Biden administration also sent officials to Mexico to discuss preventing Chinese steel from entering the U.S. via its southern neighbor. .
I want to emphasize our desire to
cooperate and partner with Mexico
on addressing imports coming in
to the North American market as
a way of circumventing tariffs, Senior administration official, via NPR.
I'm not going to get ahead
of the diplomatic conversations
that have happened today and
that will be happening in the
days and weeks to come. , Senior administration official, via NPR.
But I think we're hoping to come to
a mutually acceptable solution with
Mexico, because this is a problem that
affects both of our economies, Senior administration official, via NPR.

House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.

Pophouse Entertainment Group has bought the rock band's catalog, brand name and intellectual property in a deal worth over $300 million, ABC News reports. .
Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA co-founded Pophouse.
When Kiss played their last show in
December, they revealed digital avatars

George Lucas' company, Industrial Light & Magic, to create the avatar technology.
The "ABBA Voyage" show in
London featured an entire performance
with the Swedish band's digital avatars.

An avatar show is planned for the later part of 2027.
Gene Simmons said,
"I don't like the word acquisition.".
Collaboration is exactly what it’s
about. It would be remiss in our
inferred fiduciary duty — see what
I just did there? — to the thing
that we created to abandon it, Gene Simmons, to AP.
People might misunderstand and think,
‘OK, now Pophouse is doing that stuff
and we’re just in Beverly Hills twiddling
our thumbs.’ No, that’s not true. , Gene Simmons, to AP.
We’re in the trenches with them.
We talk all the time. We share ideas.
It’s a collaboration. Paul (Stanley) and
I especially, with the band, we’ll stay
committed to this. It’s our baby, Gene Simmons, to AP

I never thought that what I was
doing was illegal. But I tried to hold
myself to a high standard, and I
certainly didn't meet that standard. , Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.
I've heard and seen the despair,
frustration and sense of betrayal from
thousands of customers; they deserve
to be paid in full, at current price, Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.
That could and should have
happened in November 2022,
and it could and should happen
today. It's excruciating to see
them waiting, day after day, Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.
Bankman-Fried went on to say that he's "haunted, every day, by what was lost.".
I'd give anything to be able to help
repair even part of the damage.
I'm doing what I can from prison,
but it's deeply frustrating not
to be able to do more, Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.
Bankman-Fried plans to
appeal based on trial testimony that
"greatly misstated what actually happened.".
I'd give anything to be out there, trying
to make a positive difference in the
world, but I know that's not going to
happen. I can't help from prison, Sam Bankman-Fried, via statement

The plans can now only be renewed for up to
four months instead of three years that were permitted under former President Donald Trump. .
Additionally, short-term plan providers must
clearly explain benefit limitations to consumers. .
The president really believes
the American people do not want
to be taken for suckers and junk insurance takes them for suckers, Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, via statement.
Short-term insurance is intended to temporarily serve as a safety net for periods of transition,
such as switching jobs or prior to receiving Medicare.
However, critics call these plans
"junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover.
ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs.
In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.".
Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser,
said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to
sell inadequate short-term plans.
