Trump Tariff Court Ruling; Nestle CEO Ousted

On today's podcast: 1) A federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing global tariffs through an emergency law, but let the levies stay in place while the case proceeds. The decision extends the suspense over whether Trump's tariffs will ultimately stand, with the administration potentially turning to the Supreme Court for a final ruling or letting the Court of International Trade revisit the matter first.2) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration may declare a national housing emergency this fall. Bessent stated that housing affordability would be a critical leg of Republicans' 2026 midterm election platform. The administration is studying ways to standardize local building and zoning codes and decrease closing costs to address housing affordability.3) An abrupt leadership change at the world's largest food company as Nestlé SA dismissed Chief Executive Officer Laurent Freixe due to an undisclosed workplace affair that violated the company's code of conduct. Philipp Navratil, who heads the Nespresso coffee brand, was named as Freixe's replacement, and Nestlé shares fell in early trading following the announcement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
