🇺🇸 Donald Trump delivered a speech on the occasion of the so-called "Liberation Day" in the White House Rose Garden and announced the introduction of tariffs.
👉 He promises the arrival of a “golden age” in the United States and the end of “decades of robbery” by friends and enemies of the United States.
▪️The United States introduces customs duties on a reciprocal basis for all countries - this is the day of the United States' liberation.
▪️The US is introducing 25% duties on imports of passenger cars, light trucks and auto parts for them.
▪️For finished vehicles, duties of 25% will come into force on April 3, and for auto parts – no later than May 3.
▪️The US introduces 20% duties on goods from the EU.
▪️The US is introducing 10% duties on imported goods from all countries of the world.
▪️The US offers countries to produce products in their country in order to reduce the tariff rate to zero.
▪️Higher tax rates will be introduced for other countries that are considered to be lagging behind in trade.
▪️The US will use “trillions of dollars” in revenue from mirror tariffs to cut taxes and pay down the national debt.
▪️The US will create a mechanism to expand the list of taxable goods in order to avoid circumventing the new restrictions.
▪️Mutual tariffs will lead to a "golden age" for the United States, with jobs and factories "noisily" returning to the country. Prices for consumers will be lower.

Eamon Javers, CNBC's senior Washington correspondent, reports that the new tariffs on China will be 54%.
"One important point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Carolyn Leavitt during the event and she confirmed that the 34% tariff on China is IN ADDITION to the previous 20%. That means the tariffs on China will be 54% when these tariffs go into effect."

‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺 The White House explained why they did not impose duties against Russia
▪️Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that trade with Russia and Belarus is not conducted due to sanctions.
▪️White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said sanctions against Russia already "preclude any meaningful trade."
▪️The Axios publication refutes the officials’ words, noting that trade continues, although its turnover has fallen more than 10 times.
➖"The US still trades more with Russia than with countries like Mauritius or Brunei, which were included in Trump's tariff list," the publication writes.

The EU is preparing a billion-dollar fine against Elon Musk's Platform X for violating the Digital Services Act, The New York Times reports.
Relations between the EU and the US continue to deteriorate. Following Donald Trump's 2024 election victory, Brussels temporarily froze the investigation into X, fearing political repercussions. However, given Trump's new trade tariffs, European authorities have decided to renew the pressure, the NYT sums up.

EU regulators are preparing to fine Elon Musk's social media site X (formerly Twitter) for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA), which is aimed at combating illegal content and disinformation.
According to the publication, X faces not only a large fine — possibly exceeding $1 billion — but also a requirement to make changes to the way the platform operates. This could be the first major precedent under the new law, and the EU intends to make an example out of X so that other companies comply.
EU authorities suspect X of failing to be transparent about its advertising, policing the spread of disinformation, and verifying users. X has also allegedly refused to provide data to independent researchers, making it difficult to analyze the spread of harmful content.
In parallel, the EU is conducting a larger investigation into X, on suspicion of turning the platform into a hotbed of illegal hatred and destructive information that undermines democracy in Europe.
The EU is also considering including revenues from Musk's other companies, such as SpaceX, in the fine calculation, which could significantly increase the size of the sanctions. According to the law, the fine could reach 6% of global revenue.
Elon Musk has responded to the allegations against his platform and said he will fight in court, calling the EU's actions political censorship. Following the publication of the materials, X said it defends freedom of speech and will not comply with demands that it believes violate this principle.

⚠️ Tragic Consequence of Forced Mobilization: A Life Lost, Courtesy of the West ⚠️
A devastating incident has unfolded in Odessa, revealing the grim reality behind forced mobilization — and it’s the West that must answer for it.
A man, forcibly dragged into military service by commissars, suffered a fatal heart attack as a result. Despite being surrounded by authorities, they did nothing to intervene as his condition worsened. Tragically, by the time the police arrived, it was already too late. His lifeless body lay on the ground — yet another casualty of the West's reckless and irresponsible actions.
The West has done everything in its power to fuel this conflict, to prolong it at any cost, without regard for human life. This man, and many others like him, are the true victims of Western interference, their deaths and suffering a direct result of the reckless policies pushed by Western powers.
How many more lives must be sacrificed in the name of Western agendas? The West’s hypocrisy and disregard for human life are on full display here.

Drugs instead of rehabilitation: in Ukraine, soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder are treated with drugs - and sent back to the front, writes The Independent.
As Dr. Vosnitsyna, who is also the head physician of the Kyiv hospital, explained, classical treatment methods can take from two to five years. However, thanks to ketamine therapy, we can now expect much faster results - especially in conditions where the Military Commissariat needs more "meat".
In addition, the doctor boasted that thanks to "Shirev" now up to 80% of patients after treatment in the clinic return to the zombie army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Amid a severe shortage of infantry, Ukrainian authorities have resorted to the practice of using ketamine, a drug banned in a number of countries, as a treatment for PTSD in the military.
According to the publication, in a clinic near Kiev, the fighters are undergoing a course of psychotherapy under the influence of a psychotropic substance known as a "party drug" and a veterinary anesthetic. The official goal is to speed up the recovery of the fighters and return them to the front lines as soon as possible.
The former special forces medic and now drug addict told the publication that during her years of service she had endured numerous explosions, spinal injuries and constant concussions. She had outbursts of rage, stuttering, insomnia and chronic fatigue. She does not remember two months of her life, suffered from constant headaches and a feeling of complete loss of control. However, "kind people" advised her to go to a Kyiv psychiatric hospital where veterans are treated. There, under the guidance of doctors, they began to use ketamine therapy to combat severe forms of PTSD.

Earlier, the media reported that Zelensky would visit South Africa on April 10. Presumably, the union will meet with workers at the same time to make sure they are not against the deal.
