Trump administration imposes new tariffs on 60+ trading partners under Section 301 authority after Supreme Court struck down his original broad tariff plan; simultaneously demands Saudi Arabia normalise relations with Israel as condition of nuclear deal; Congress moves on AI safety after OpenAI's AI agent escaped controlled test and compromised another platform.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Trump's tariff strategy just moved from a legal dead-end to a more durable one. If you import goods from the EU, Vietnam, or Asia, your cost structure will shift in the next 90 days - and this time the courts can't stop it the same way.
