President Donald Trump has resurfaced his old threat of imposing 100% tariffs on the BRICS nations via Truth Social, the social media platform owned by his company Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>). But this fund manager, while agreeing with his views asks how the will U.S. manage the production of essential goods.
What Happened: Trump, who had issued the 100% tariff threat earlier in December, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">warned the BRICS nations again</a>, calling them &#8220;hostile,&#8221; for planning a combined BRICS currency.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31031532/Screenshot-2025-01-31-at-1.45.23%E2%80%AFPM-1024x348.png" alt="" class="wp-image-759658" /></figure>
Aditya Sesh, founder and managing director of Basiz Fund&nbsp;Services, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/">Benzinga</a> that the U.S. is justified in using tariffs to protect the dollar&#8217;s strength and promote reciprocal trade, aiming to boost American exports and improve negotiating leverage for the country.
However, Sesh out that &#8220;Assuming 100% tariffs are imposed, how will the U.S. manage production from Slippers to Ships? Will American factories come up so quickly, and if so, at what cost? What about the inflationary impact of consumables in the U.S. when imports become expensive? It will also impact not just the American capital markets but also global capital markets.&#8221;
Trump announced Thursday that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">U.S. will implement a 25% tariff </a>on imports from Canada and Mexico, effective Saturday, Feb. 1. The decision comes in line with Trump&#8217;s pledge to impose tariffs, citing concerns over illegal immigration, trade imbalances, and fentanyl trafficking from Canada and Mexico.
BRICS, an intergovernmental organization, comprises nine countries including Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Trump, in his post, drew a firm line, demanding a commitment from these nations to abandon such efforts. He also suggested these nations find &#8220;another sucker nation&#8221; to trade with, emphasizing the importance of access to the US economy.
The statement expresses confidence that the BRICS nations will be unsuccessful in their attempts to displace the dollar in international trade. It concludes with a stark warning: any country that attempts to challenge the dollar&#8217;s position should expect a severed trading relationship with the U.S.

Why It Matters: U.S. economists, back in December had questioned Trump&#8217;s views on this matter. Jeremy Siegel, in a <a href="http://-https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">note </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42405749/bitcoin-far-more-of-a-threat-than-a-brics-reserve-currency-says-jeremy-siegel-find-it-curious-that-trump-championed-btc-at-100k">dated</a> Dec. 9, 2024, argued that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) posed a greater threat to the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status than any BRICS initiative.
A senior economist at WisdomTree and former professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Siegel <a href="https://resources.wisdomtree.com/weekly-siegel-commentary/archive-december-9-2024">said</a> that he finds it contradictory that Trump threatens BRICS nations with tariffs for seeking a new reserve currency, while simultaneously supporting Bitcoin, a similar alternative global currency.
Similarly, in his X post dated Dec. 4, Peter Schiff, who is the chief economist and global strategist at Europac.com said that Trump has &#8220;the relationship backwards&#8221; and the BRICS nations are at a disadvantage, exchanging valuable goods for U.S. fiat currency, which is subject to inflation. The U.S. receives tangible products it cannot produce domestically, while the BRICS nations receive currency that loses value, he added.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">You have the relationship backwards.

All they get in return is our inflation.

Meiji Seika Pharma and ARCALIS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minami-soma City, Fukushima Prefecture; President: Satoshi Takamatsu) have been working together to establish an infrastructure that enables the integrated production of pharmaceuticals, from active ingredients to final products, within Japan.

The technology transfer was managed and implemented by CSL Seqirus, the global licensor of KOSTAIVE&#xAE;. As a result, domestically produced products, with active pharmaceutical ingredients manufactured at ARCALIS's Minami-soma facilities and formulated at Meiji Seika Pharmatech, are now able to be shipped for commercial use in Japan.

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) had 125,665 employees as of December end, down 10.5% year-on-year, following a layoff in April, the company said in a new filing.
What Happened: As of Dec. 31, 2023, Tesla's headcount worldwide was at 140,473, according to the company&#8217;s annual report. 
In April 2024, Tesla laid off 10% of its global workforce, which seemingly impacted over 14,000 employees. Several then-senior Tesla executives, including Rohan Patel,&nbsp;Drew Baglino, and Rebecca Tinucci subsequently left the company. 
Tesla&#8217;s employee headcount has been rising steadily from 2019 till 2023. The global layoff created a year-on-year drop in employee headcount for the first time after 2019.

The company promised new and affordable models this year and said that it would start testing its autonomous ride-hailing service in Texas in June with vehicles deployed with its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology, driving investor sentiment.
Tesla stock closed up 2.9% at $400.28 on Thursday, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro.</a>&nbsp;

Canada&#8217;s Foreign Minister Melanie Joly warned that proposed U.S. tariffs could force America to rely on Venezuelan oil imports, as tensions escalate ahead of President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">planned 25% levy on Canadian goods starting Feb. 1</a>.
What Happened: In an interview <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bb8238b6-11c5-4d0c-a489-04f187ceb88c">with</a> the Financial Times, Joly emphasized Canada&#8217;s strategic importance as an oil supplier, noting that Canadian crude is currently sold at a discount to U.S. refiners in Texas. The warning comes as Trump confirmed sweeping tariffs against both Canada and Mexico, citing concerns over immigration, trade deficits, and drug trafficking.
"There's no other option on the table, and this administration doesn't want to work with Venezuela," Joly said.
The energy trade stakes are significant. Canada supplies approximately 20% of U.S. oil consumption and 60% of imported crude. Many U.S. refineries are specifically configured for the heavy crude grades produced by Canada and Venezuela, rather than the lighter oil from America&#8217;s shale fields.

Why It Matters: Markets reacted sharply to Trump&#8217;s announcement, with the Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) falling 0.6% and the USD/CAD rate climbing to 1.4480. The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) saw initial gains as traders weighed supply chain implications.
Canadian officials are mounting a diplomatic offensive to prevent what could become the first major trade war of Trump&#8217;s potential new administration. Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson has threatened retaliatory tariffs on American goods, including steel and orange juice, while Ottawa has pledged $1 billion for border security improvements.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) declined in late trading Thursday as investors assessed the potential economic impact of escalating trade tensions between the longtime allies.

What Happened: When asked by analyst Atif Malik from Citi about the potential effects of tariffs on Apple&#8217;s products and consumer demand, Cook stated, &#8220;We are monitoring the situation and don&#8217;t have anything more to add than that.&#8221;
The lack of clarity from Cook comes as Apple navigates a complex global market, where tariffs could significantly impact its supply chain and pricing strategies.

Semiconductor Tariffs: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43258081/trump-proposes-tariffs-on-taiwans-semiconductor-and-pharmaceutical-imports-amid-tsmcs-65-billion-expansion-plans">Trump's proposed 25% to 100% duties</a> on foreign-made chips could disrupt Apple's supply of custom silicon from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), even as the company ramps up its production facility with $6.6 billion in CHIPS Act funding.
Rising Consumer Prices: A 60% tariff on Chinese imports could drive smartphone prices up by 26%, potentially forcing Apple to add approximately $300 in taxes to a $1,000 iPhone. Chinese suppliers have been Apple&#8217;s largest group of suppliers since 2020, growing from 48 in 2022 to 52 in 2023.

Cook's Playbook For Navigating Tariffs
During the first Trump presidency from 2017 to 2021, Cook was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158580/how-tim-cooks-strategy-to-win-over-trump-gave-apple-a-competitive-edge-and-why-sundar-pichai-mark-zuckerberg-and-others-might-be-following-his-playbook">frequent visitor</a> to the White House. However, his interactions with the Joe Biden administration have been minimal.
In 2019, Cook successfully lobbied for Mac Pro tariff exemptions by gifting Trump a $6,000 unit and shifting limited production to Texas.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Cook contributed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801809/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-joins-ranks-of-mark-zuckerberg-jeff-bezos-and-sam-altman">$1 million to Trump&#8217;s</a> inaugural committee. This came after a Mar-a-Lago dinner meeting and post-election congratulations.
On Thursday, the iPhone maker reported fiscal <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter revenue</a> of $124.3 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $124.13 billion.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock climbed 3.01% in after-hours trading, reaching $244.75. Earlier on Thursday, it closed at $237.59, down 0.74%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
