Nvidia’s $30B OpenAI Stake and Trump’s 10% Global Import Tariff

Nvidia is nearing a massive $30 billion investment in OpenAI, signaling a major consolidation of power in the AI sector as the research firm hits a $150 billion valuation. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump's sweeping emergency tariffs, prompting the administration to immediately issue a new executive order for a 10% global import tax. The economic landscape remains volatile, with fourth-quarter GDP growth slowing to 1.4% following the record-breaking 43-day government shutdown. Globally, the arrest of former Prince Andrew in the U.K. over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and a nationwide labor strike in Argentina against President Javier Milei's reforms highlight significant political shifts. Additionally, financial markets reacted to a 27% drop in Klarna's stock value due to rising bad loan costs, while Las Vegas police investigate a vehicle ramming at a power substation as a potential domestic terrorism event. These developments underscore a period of intense institutional and economic disruption.

Today we cover the shifting landscape of global tech and trade as Nvidia moves toward a historic $30 billion investment in OpenAI, a move that values the AI leader at $150 billion. This massive infusion comes as the U.S. economy shows signs of a slowdown, with the latest GDP report revealing a 1.4% growth rate hindered by a 43-day government shutdown. We also examine the legal firestorm following the Supreme Court's decision to strike down President Donald Trump's emergency tariffs, which was met with an immediate executive order for a 10% global import duty. Additionally, we discuss the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the U.K. and the intensifying labor protests in Argentina against President Javier Milei’s overhaul of labor laws following his midterm success. Finally, we look at the financial turmoil for Klarna and an investigation into critical infrastructure attacks in Nevada.
