https://www.youtube.com/watch/me54zMBRwws Supreme Court blocks Trump’s tariff power | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
The Supreme Court has struck down President Trump’s use of the national emergency clause to impose sweeping tariffs around the world. In this Quick Take, Ian Bremmer explains why this ruling was predictable and why it’s a major setback for Trump’s trade strategy.
For months, the administration argued that tariffs on countries ranging from China to Canada to Brazil were justified under emergency powers. The Court disagreed, ruling that Congress, not the president, holds that authority.
The immediate effect: the effective US tariff rate drops sharply. American consumers pay less. US government revenue from tariffs declines. And Trump’s leverage heading into key negotiations, including with Beijing, weakens.
But this doesn’t mean tariffs disappear. The White House has other legal tools it can use. What this ruling does show is something bigger:
“The court is an effective independent check on the executive. Republicans in Congress are not. Impeachment is not. But the court system is.”
Ian breaks down what this means for markets, consumers, global trade, and the balance of power inside the US government.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/e5WC-0DqLNI Blame Putin, not Zelenskyy, for delay in peace talks, says Alexander Stubb in exclusive interview
In an exclusive edition of On the Record from the Presidential Palace in Helsinki, President Alexander Stubb deliveres a clear message on the war in Ukraine, describing it as a strategic failure for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He argues that while peace negotiations are necessary, “most of the cards are actually with Ukraine” as the conflict moves into its fifth year.
Stubb emphasizes that the war must ultimately end at the negotiating table.
“We need to negotiate a peace agreement and stop this war,” he said, adding that he believes President Donald Trump is right to stress the importance of pursuing negotiations. However, talks must begin from a position of strength.
Stubb acknowledged that post-war agreements and broader deals are likely once the conflict ends. But he issued a stark warning: “Whoever is doing the deals has to be very careful, because I think the Russians are lying.”
