Trade wars are good, says Trump

Angel

US President Donald Trump has said "trade wars are good", amid controversy over his decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

He tweeted that the US was "losing billions of dollars on trade" and would find a trade war "easy to win".

On Thursday he said steel imports would face a 25% tariff and aluminum 10%.

Canada and the EU said they would bring forward their own countermeasures. Mexico, China and Brazil have also said they are considering retaliatory steps.

Critics argue that the tariffs would fail to protect American jobs and would ultimately put up prices for consumers.

The news sent shares in both Asia and Europe down on Friday.

Most people think wealth is built through big salaries, lucky investments, or overnight success stories. But in reality, financial stability often comes from small habits repeated consistently for years. The truth is, many financially secure people live ordinary lives. They simply make better financial decisions daily. They save before spending, avoid unnecessary debt, and stay disciplined even when nobody is watching. Building wealth does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like skipping impulse purchases, paying bills on time, or investing small amounts regularly. These habits may seem simple, but over time, they quietly create financial freedom. 1.

  The head of one of London's biggest hospitals has expressed concern about losing personnel as a result of stricter vaccination requirements. Front-line NHS personnel in England will be required to get the Covid vaccine starting in April, or they will be transferred to another position. Clive Kay, the chief executive of King's College Hospital, said it was his job to encourage employees to be vaccinated, yet 10% of his 14,000 employees were still unvaccinated. Nadhim Zahawi, a government official, justified the program as "the correct thing to do." NHS staff in England who have direct face-to-face contact with patients will be required by law to be vaccinated against Covid beginning in April. A similar approach has already been implemented in England for social care workers, with care facilities claiming that it has exacerbated the staffing shortage.

  There’s a strange feeling that comes with checking your bank account a few days after payday. You were sure you’d be more careful this month. You promised yourself you wouldn’t spend on unnecessary things. Maybe you even wrote a budget somewhere in your notes app. But somehow, the money disappeared again. Not in one dramatic moment. Not because of a luxury vacation or expensive shopping spree. It vanished quietly — food deliveries, transport, subscriptions you forgot about, random “small” purchases that didn’t feel important at the time. And suddenly, you’re back to counting days until the next alert enters your account. For many people, saving money feels impossible. Not because they’re lazy or irresponsible, but because modern life makes spending incredibly easy and saving painfully difficult. The truth is, most people are not bad with money.
