Former President Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to imposing tariffs on cars imported from China and Mexico, aiming to protect American automotive jobs.
What Happened: During an interview with Patrick Bet-David released on Thursday, Trump emphasized the critical role these tariffs would play in safeguarding the U.S. auto industry.
&#8220;I hope the union workers, auto workers understand that I saved their jobs,&#8221; he said.
Trump highlighted a massive car manufacturing plant in Mexico, which he described as potentially one of the largest in the world. He expressed concerns that vehicles from this plant could inundate the U.S. market, leaving little room for American-made cars.
&#8220;That would mean that our car industry is wiped out,&#8221; Trump said.

Trump Defends His Plans To Impose 200% Tariffs On Cars Imported From China, Mexico: 'Hope Union Workers Understand That I Saved Their Jobs'

Amid ongoing global economic recovery efforts, Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, has issued a cautionary note regarding persistent challenges such as high debt and low growth. Her remarks come as the U.S. and EU implement rate cuts to tackle inflation.
What Happened: Georgieva highlighted that despite progress, governments are increasingly reliant on borrowing, which, coupled with &#8220;anemic growth,&#8221; complicates debt management. She praised central banks for their inflation control efforts but noted uneven benefits across regions, with some still facing high prices and related unrest, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/17/imf-chief-warns-low-growth-and-high-debt-weigh-on-global-economy.html">reported</a> on Friday.
"It's not yet time to celebrate," she said.
"When we look into the challenges ahead of us, the biggest one is low growth, high debt. This is where we can and must do better.&#8221;
Georgieva&#8217;s comments precede the 2024 annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank Group in Washington, D.C., where global economic issues will be discussed. She also pointed out that international trade is no longer the &#8220;engine of growth&#8221; it once was, citing restrictive policies and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40914629/china-warns-eu-tariffs-on-evs-will-harm-trade-with-germany">U.S.-EU tariffs against China</a> as potential risks. Additionally, she expressed concern over geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, affecting global financial stability.

Why It Matters: Georgieva&#8217;s comment arrived a day after the European Central Bank (ECB) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41382372/ecb-slashes-rates-again-will-jerome-powell-take-this-as-cue-for-another-fed-rate-"> cut interest rates</a> for the third time this year to stimulate a sluggish economy, shifting focus from inflation control to economic growth. This move follows the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 50 basis point rate cut in September, marking a significant policy shift as both regions tackle economic challenges.
Meanwhile, the U.S. faces a staggering debt situation, with estimates suggesting a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40368118/true-us-debt-is-175-trillion-former-coinbase-cto-on-unpayable-crisis"> true national debt </a>of $175 trillion when accounting for entitlements like Social Security and Medicare. This escalating debt underscores the urgency of addressing fiscal challenges.
In China, the government is reportedly considering issuing $850 billion in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41324527/as-chinas-stimulus-hype-wanes-beijing-reportedly-weighs-850b-special-treasury-bonds-to-stimulate-eco"> special treasury bonds</a> to stimulate its slowing economy and manage local debt. These developments highlight the global nature of economic challenges and the varied approaches being taken to address them.

Procter & Gamble Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) has been informed by its deconsolidated Canadian affiliate, Rothmans,Benson &amp; Hedges Inc. (RBH), that the court-appointed mediator and monitor in RBH's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) proceeding filed a proposed plan of compromise and arrangement (Proposed Plan) outlining certain terms of a comprehensive resolution of tobacco product-related claims and litigation in Canada against RBH and its affiliates. The court-appointed mediator and monitors also filed substantially similar proposed plans for Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited and Imperial Tobacco Company Limited (together, ITL) and JTI-Macdonald Corp. (JTIM).
Under the Proposed Plan, if ultimately approved and implemented, RBH, ITL and JTIM (the Companies) would pay an aggregate settlement amount of CAD 32.5 billion (approximately USD 23.5 billion). This amount would be funded by an upfront payment equal to the Companies' cash and cash equivalents on hand in Canada plus certain court deposits (subject to an aggregate withholding of CAD 750 million (approximately USD 540 million) for working capital inclusive of cash pledged as collateral) and annual payments based on a percentage of the Companies' net income after taxes (excluding that generated by certain non-combustible products including heat-not-burn, e-vapor and nicotine pouch products) until the aggregate settlement amount is paid. As stated in the Proposed Plan, the issue of allocation of the CAD 32.5 billion aggregate settlement as between the Companies in the CCAA proceedings remains unresolved.
"After years of mediation, we welcome this important step towards the resolution of long-pending tobacco product-related litigation in Canada," said Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer of PMI. "Although important issues with the plan remain to be resolved, we are hopeful that this legal process will soon conclude, allowing RBH and its stakeholders to focus on the future."

Netflix, American Express And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) founder Michael Saylor encouraged those who doubt the upside potential of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to go short on the company's stock, assuring that it would never sell the cryptocurrency.
What happened: During an interview with journalist Madison Reidy that aired Thursday, Saylor asked skeptics to "love" MicroStrategy if they really "hate" Bitcoin.
"We&#8217;re the perfect instrument to short because I promise you, I won&#8217;t sell it. We&#8217;re going to be leveraged long on Bitcoin," said Saylor, one of the most passionate advocates of the cryptocurrency.
&#8220;I want you to love us if you really hate BTC.&#8221;
Saylor said as a company, MicroStrategy has been consistent and transparent in its policy of buying and holding on to Bitcoin, and it was up to market participants to decide if they wanted to buy, sell, or short their shares.
"When I was a younger man I would have been concerned about people shorting my stock but now I&#8217;m not," Saylor added.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Saylor&#8217;s remarks came amid MicroStratgy&#8217;s audacious Bitcoin gambit, which has transformed the software development firm into a proxy for the world&#8217;s greatest digital asset.

What Happened: Waymo will credit $3 to riders&#8217; accounts if they take an autonomous ride to or from eligible Bay Area transit stations. These credits can be used for future rides.
The program started on Oct. 17 and will go on till Nov.15. The credits can be used until Dec. 31, according to a statement from Waymo. 
&#8220;By offering electric rides on demand and improving access to public transit, Waymo One is making daily travel more sustainable and convenient,&#8221; said Adam Lenz, Head of Sustainability and Environment at Waymo.
Why It Matters: Waymo currently operates a fleet of all-electric vehicles that have been customized to enable autonomous driving. The company is delivering over 100,000 paid autonomous rides every week to the public, the company said on Thursday.
Automotive research firm&nbsp;S&amp;P Global Mobility&nbsp;said in September that it deems&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40792410/us-autonomous-vehicle-sales-to-hit-230k-by-2034-after-progress-resumes-at-alphabets-waymo-gms-cruise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Waymo to be the frontrunner&nbsp;</a>in the field of autonomous vehicles in the U.S.&nbsp;

Netflix Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) Co-CEO&nbsp;Ted Sarandos on Thursday outlined why the streaming giant continues to hold an edge over YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
What Happened: During Netflix&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf">third-quarter earnings</a> call, a question about&nbsp;YouTube&#8217;s growing share of TV&nbsp;consumption was raised.
In response, Sarandos highlighted Netflix&#8217;s commitment to investing in premium content to increase viewer engagement, stating, &#8220;Netflix is the best place&nbsp;for premium stories because we&#8217;re&nbsp;the home to the best&nbsp;storytellers.&#8221;

Regarding YouTube, he said, &#8220;When I look at YouTube specifically, I&#8217;d say look, we compete directly with YouTube for people&#8217;s time, for the time they spend on that TV screen. But we have very different strengths.&#8221;
Another, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters added that Netflix plays a crucial role for consumers seeking high-quality movies and TV shows, and for creators looking for partners willing to share the inherent risks of bringing stories to life.
&#8220;A Hundred Years of Solitude, Senna, both coming from Latin America, which are huge, ambitious projects. It&#8217;s hard to imagine how those kind of big creative bets would be possible with YouTube&#8217;s model,&#8221; Peters stated.

Why It Matters: Netflix&#8217;s third-quarter financial results showed a 15% year-over-year increase in revenue, beating Street consensus estimates.
Moreover, Netflix&#8217;s recent foray into live sports programming indicates a strategic shift from its traditional on-demand model. This move aims to capture high-impact moments and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41395213/netflixs-200b-hour-problem-why-live-sports-are-just-a-drop-in-the-streaming-ocean">excitement of global live events</a>, further enhancing viewer engagement.
During the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39849026/netflix-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-advertising-revenue-more-meaningful-squid-game" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter earnings</a> call, Netflix executives were asked questions about YouTube.
At the time, Sarandos&nbsp;said, &#8220;So our two services — us and YouTube represent about 50% of all streaming to the TV in the U.S. and we use the U.S. only because that's where we have the data.&#8221;
&#8220;So really what we're focused on here is focusing ourselves on that other 80% of total TV time that isn't going to either us or YouTube,&#8221; he said in July.
Sarandos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39853498/netflix-aims-to-capture-broader-tv-market-sees-youtube-as-both-competitor-and-partner-we-ki">reiterated Netflix&#8217;s commitment to focus</a> on the remaining 80% of the market during the third-quarter call too.
