Bloomberg Balance of Power: Trump Hails S. Korea Ties (Podcast)

8/25/2025
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed optimism for close cooperation on North Korea, collective security and shipbuilding, though the US leader downplayed the chances for further concessions on Seoul’s tariff deal. “We can do big progress with North Korea,” Trump said at the White House on Monday alongside Lee. The South Korean leader launched a charm offensive on Trump, praising stock-market gains, the gold finishes he added to the Oval Office and his peacekeeping efforts, and asked him to focus on ending tensions on the Korean peninsula. Lee even suggested that Trump could construct an eponymous tower in North Korea if peace is made. Still, Trump indicated that the agreement for a 15% tariff on South Korean imports would likely stick as-is, as they hash out unresolved details on the deal. “I hear they want to renegotiate the deal, but that’s OK, I don’t mind that. That doesn’t mean they’re going to get anything, but I don’t mind,” the US president said. On this edition of Balance of Power, Joe speaks with: Tyler Kendall, Bloomberg Washington correspondent Staurt Paul, Bloomberg Economics US Economist Dr. Christopher Smart, Founder and Managing Partner of Arbroath Group and former Special Assistant to the President at the National Economic Council during the Obama Administration Rick Davis, Partner at Stonecourt Capital and Bloomberg Politics Contributor & Roger Fisk, Former Special Advisor to President Barack Obama and Democratic Strategist Spencer Cox, Governor of Utah (R) & Chris Levesque, President and CEO of TerraPower

Bloomberg Balance of Power: Powell Signals Rate Cut (Podcast)

8/22/2025
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell carefully opened the door to an interest-rate cut in September, pointing to rising risks for the labor market even as worries over inflation remain. “The stability of the unemployment rate and other labor market measures allows us to proceed carefully as we consider changes to our policy stance,” Powell said in remarks prepared for the Fed’s annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Friday. “Nonetheless, with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” Following Powell’s remarks, investors boosted bets that the Federal Open Market Committee would cut rates at its Sept. 16-17 meeting. Economists at Deutsche Bank, Barclays and BNP Paribas pulled forward their forecasts for the next rate cut to September.
