LONDON — Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Australia's Anthony Albanese are among the world leaders who have come out in criticism of US President Donald Trump, after he announced far-reaching import taxes on products from across the globe.Meloni called a 20% tariff rate imposed on the European Union "wrong", while Albanese said a 10% import tax on Australia's goods was "unjustified."The US leader's announcement includes a universal 10% baseline tariff on all imports into the US from 5 April.

Tesla sales plunge after backlash against Elon Musk
SAN FRANCISCO — Tesla sales have plummeted to their lowest level in three years after a backlash against its boss Elon Musk.The electric car maker delivered almost 337,000 electric vehicles in the first three months of 2025, a 13% drop from a year ago.Tesla shares tumbled in early trading on Wednesday after the release of the low sales numbers.The cars face increasing competition from Chinese firm BYD, but experts believe Musk's controversial role in the Trump administration has had an effect too.The firm has blamed the sales drop on the transition to a new version of its most popular car.However, some analysts have pointed the finger at Musk himself."These numbers suck," early Tesla investor Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management wrote on...

US cancels visa of Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias
SAN JOSE — The former president of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, says his US visa has been revoked.Arias, a Nobel laureate, said he was informed of the decision weeks after he had publicly criticized Donald Trump, comparing the behavior of the US president to that of a Roman emperor.The 84-year-old, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering an end to conflicts in Central America, said US authorities had given no explanation.Arias hinted, however, that it may be due to his rapprochement with China during the time he was president from 2006 to 2010.Speaking at a news conference in the Costa Rican capital, San José, Arias said he had "no idea" what the reason for the cancellation was.He said he had received a "terse" email "of a few lines"...

Trump official visits mega-jail holding deported Venezuelans
WASHINGTON — US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has released a social media video filmed inside a controversial mega-prison in El Salvador, thanking the country and its president for "bringing our terrorists here and incarcerating them".Secretary Noem was in the country to tour the facility, where US officials recently sent 238 Venezuelans.In a cell behind her as she spoke were dozens of bare-chested and tattooed Salvadorean members from the MS-13 and the 18th Street gangs.The trip suggests President Trump does not intend to back down from his immigration policy in the face of an injunction, upheld by an appeals court, on removing the Venezuelans from US soil under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.Secretary Noem described the prison as "one of the tools in our...

Trump announces new auto tariffs in a major trade war escalation
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced 25% tariffs on all cars shipped to the United States, a significant escalation in a global trade war.The tariffs, set to take effect on April 3 at 12:01 am ET, are aimed at expanding America’s auto manufacturing prowess. For decades, because of a free trade agreement, automakers have treated Canada, Mexico and the United States as one big country, with no tariffs among them. Although the United States is home to a significant automaking industry, Trump wants to grow it.“Frankly, friend has been oftentimes much worse than foe. And what we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday before signing an executive proclamation in the Oval Office....
