<li>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's relationship with President Donald Trump has been called into question, as many worry that it could potentially sway the outcome of the trial</li>
</ul>
The US government began a closely watched aantitrust case against Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) on Monday. The Federal Trade Commission's <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/191-0134-facebook-inc-ftc-v-ftc-v-meta-platforms-inc">suit alleges</a> that the company has illegally built a "social networking monopoly" through years of "anticompetitive conduct." Defending his company's actions, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stand on the first day of proceedings, answering questions about the company's intentions in purchasing apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, and his oft-repeated philosophy "it's better to buy than compete," according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/meta-ftc-antitrust-instagram-whatsapp-facebook-f602a09e86c9eb4538949572f72e8380">Associated Press</a>.&nbsp;
If the government wins the case, Meta will be forced to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp, and other tech giants, like Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>, GOOG)) and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), would be put on notice.

</ul>
Historically, the FTC has operated with a large degree of independence, meaning its investigators have been shielded from political pressure. But over the course of his second term, President Donald Trump seems to be bucking those norms. This could have a significant impact on the outcome of the case.
In January, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/technology/mark-zuckerberg-meta-trump.html">The New York Times</a> reported that Zuckerberg told employees, "We now have an opportunity to have a productive partnership with the United States government," and "we're going to take that." His comments came after months of private dinners with Trump and those his camp, trips to Mar-a-Lago, and policy changes on his platforms that benefited Trump. The Times reported earlier this month that Zuckerberg visited the White House to urge Trump to intervene in the case.
At the time, a Meta spokesman Andy Stone, told the Times that the company "regularly meets with policymakers to discuss issues impacting competitiveness, national security, and economic growth," essentially implying that the visit wasn't out of the norm. But still, the meeting has raised concerns that Zuckerberg and Meta have been unfairly attempting to sway the outcome in their favor.

But the question remains, will it work? Maybe, maybe not.
The biggest hurdle will be the U.S. district judge assigned to the case, Judge James Boasberg. Described by Trump as a "Radical Left Lunatic," Boasberg has a nonpartisan record and a sterling reputation in legal circles. However, he has rejected Meta's bids to dismiss the suit once, and seems to be unswayed by Trump so far, ruling against the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members, although he was largely overruled by the Supreme Court.
But Meta isn't giving up. Ahead of the trial, a company spokesman told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/media/meta-ftc-trial/index.html">CNN</a>, "Regulators should be supporting American innovation, rather than seeking to break up a great American company and further advantaging China on critical issues like AI." And Meta reportedly plans to argue at trial that it remaining so large and expansive is critical, as it provides an American answer and competitor to foreign-owned platforms like TikTok and domestic competitors like YouTube and X, per CNN.&nbsp;

Meta Faces An Antitrust Lawsuit, FTC Says Company Holds A 'Social Network Monopoly'

In a surprising turn of events, the&nbsp;acting commissioner of the Internal&nbsp;Revenue Service (IRS) has been replaced, following a dispute with billionaire&nbsp;Elon Musk. The move comes amidst increasing concerns over Musk&#8217;s influence within the Trump administration.
What Happened: The interim head of the IRS, Gary Shapley, was replaced after a disagreement with Musk. The report suggests that Musk, through his Department of Government Efficiency, had pushed for Shapley&#8217;s appointment, bypassing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
As per the report <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/us/politics/irs-scott-bessent-elon-musk.html">by </a>New York Times, Bessent, who was reportedly unaware of Musk&#8217;s involvement, expressed his dissatisfaction to President Trump, who then approved the reversal of Shapley&#8217;s appointment.
The Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Michael Faulkender, is expected to step in as the acting head of the IRS. He will hold the position until the Senate approves the President&#8217;s nominee for the permanent role, former congressman Billy Long.

This leadership change at the IRS is the latest in a series of temporary appointments under the Trump administration. 
The previous interim head, Melanie Krause, resigned after the Treasury Department decided to use IRS data to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement in deporting undocumented immigrants.
The IRS has declined to comment on the situation. However, this incident underscores the growing concern over Musk&#8217;s&nbsp;influence in the Trump administration, adding to the existing turmoil within the IRS.
Why It Matters: This incident is indicative of the ongoing power struggles within the Trump administration, particularly regarding the influence of private sector figures like Musk. 
The frequent changes in leadership at the IRS, a crucial government agency, could potentially impact its effectiveness and stability. 
Moreover, the use of IRS data for immigration enforcement has raised ethical and legal questions, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

IRS Leadership Shakeup Following Clash With Elon Musk

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets faced heightened volatility this week as the Trump administration intensified trade restrictions, notably imposing new export controls on Nvidia's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 AI chip to China. Nvidia projected a $5.5 billion revenue impact, leading to an 8.5% drop in its stock and a broader 3% decline in the semiconductor sector.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that the tariffs could exacerbate inflation, prompting criticism from President Donald Trump. Amid these tensions, gold prices surged to a record $3,330 per ounce, reflecting increased investor anxiety.
In corporate earnings, UnitedHealth Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) unexpected downward revision of its full-year guidance led to a 22.4% plunge in its stock — the steepest single-day drop since 1998. Conversely, Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) reported strong performance, providing some optimism amid the market turbulence.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Netflix, UnitedHealth, Eli Lilly — And Market Volatility Continues

The U.S. and Iran&nbsp;are reportedly poised to engage in a significant round of nuclear negotiations in Rome this Saturday.
What Happened: The discussions aim to resolve the enduring conflict over Tehran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, with President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;warning of potential military action should diplomatic efforts falter.
Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi&nbsp;and&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff&nbsp;will be involved in the talks indirectly through Omani mediators, according to a Reuters report.
This follows a productive initial round held in Muscat the previous week.
Araqchi confirmed his attendance in Rome via a Telegram post, highlighting Iran&#8217;s belief in a possible agreement if the U.S. takes a realistic stance.
While some Iranian officials have speculated about a rapid lifting of sanctions, Tehran has warned against expecting a swift resolution.
Supreme Leader&nbsp;Ayatollah Ali Khamenei&nbsp;has maintained a neutral position, stating he is &#8220;neither overly optimistic nor pessimistic.&#8221;

On Friday, Trump reiterated his commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The U.S. demands Iran cease highly enriched uranium production, while Tehran seeks sanctions relief and assurances against future policy reversals. Both nations remain committed to diplomacy, despite significant differences.
Why It Matters: The upcoming talks in Rome follow a series of developments in U.S.-Iran relations.
Earlier this month, Iran expressed its willingness to engage in high-level discussions with the U.S., <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44758747/iran-signals-openness-to-nuclear-talks-with-us-warns-against-trumps-aggressive-theatrics">warning</a> against what it termed Trump&#8217;s "aggressive theatrics."
This openness came after Trump&#8217;s unexpected announcement of talks in Oman, a nation with a history of mediating between the West and Iran.
Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s potential visit to the White House to discuss key geopolitical issues, including Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44657010/netanyahu-may-meet-trump-at-white-house-on-monday-with-tariffs-iran-and-gaza-on-the-table">underscores</a> the broader regional implications of these negotiations.
The stakes are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44855903/scott-bessent-warns-of-serious-risk-to-anyone-buying-iran-oil-crude-moves-up-us-futures-and-nikkei-post-modest-gains">further heightened</a> by warnings from financial experts like Scott Bessent, who highlighted the risks associated with buying Iranian oil amid rising crude prices.

US, Iran Set For Crucial Nuclear Talks In Rome Amid Tensions

A&nbsp;Boeing Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft, originally intended for delivery to China, was redirected back&nbsp;to the U.S. on&nbsp;Friday. This incident underscores the intensifying tariff dispute between Beijing and Washington.
What Happened: The jet, one of several awaiting final preparations at Boeing&#8217;s Zhoushan facility, was flown back to the U.S. without delivery. This move follows the imposition of tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2, which has disrupted the longstanding duty-free status of the aerospace industry.
According to Reuters, the aircraft, initially slated for Xiamen Airlines, was seen returning to Seattle via Guam.
The decision comes amid reports of a potential Chinese ban on Boeing imports, although no official statement has been made by Beijing.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888445/ford-reportedly-halts-vehicle-shipments-to-china-amid-rising-tariffs">Ford Reportedly Halts Vehicle Shipments To China Amid Rising Tariffs</a>
Industry insiders have indicated that Boeing and its suppliers are preparing for a&nbsp;halt in deliveries to China, according to the report.
Despite discussions about storing undelivered jets in bonded facilities to avoid tariffs, the aircraft was repatriated.
The Air Current first reported the withdrawal of&nbsp;some undelivered jets from Zhoushan,&nbsp;noting that a Chinese airline had also backed out of leasing a Boeing plane.
Why It Matters: The decision to redirect the Boeing jet back to the U.S. is a direct consequence of the escalating trade tensions between the two economic giants.
The Trump administration recently announced tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">of up to 245%</a> on Chinese imports, a move that has intensified the trade battle between the nations. This has led to retaliatory measures from China, including a potential ban on Boeing aircraft, which could significantly impact the aerospace industry.
China&#8217;s decision to halt Boeing purchases could also have repercussions for its own aircraft manufacturer,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44883727/chinas-boeing-ban-could-backfire-on-its-own-aircraft-manufacturer-comac">Comac</a>, which relies heavily on U.S. technology. The move could hinder Comac&#8217;s efforts to become globally competitive, as highlighted in a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Analysts, including those <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">from</a>&nbsp;Bank of America, have warned that while the ban on Boeing could be temporary, the Trump administration cannot overlook the broader trade implications.

Boeing Jet Returns To US Amid Escalating Tariff Tensions With China

The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily paused the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44680699/alien-enemies-act-survives-court-challenge-trump-gains-green-light-for-swift-deportations">deportation of immigrants</a> under the Alien Enemies Act, drawing criticism from conservative justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
What Happened: Early on Saturday morning, the Supreme Court issued a brief order halting deportations under the 18th-century law, which the Donald Trump administration had invoked to remove a group of Venezuelan immigrants in Texas, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/18/politics/boasberg-deportation-flights-alien-enemies-act/index.html">reported</a> CNN.
The immigrants, fearing imminent deportation, filed an emergency appeal, claiming they had not been given proper notice or a chance to challenge their removal.

The court did not explain its decision but directed the Trump administration to respond after a federal appeals court in Louisiana reviews the case. The court's order stated that no members of the &#8220;putative class of detainees&#8221; could be removed until further instructions from the court.
Justice Alito and Justice Thomas dissented from the order. Alito questioned the need for the court's involvement, while Thomas expressed concern over the potential implications of halting the removals.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The case stems from a challenge to the Trump administration&#8217;s use <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44428767/trump-administration-failed-to-respond-to-court-order-on-deportation-flights-explain-non-compliance-by-tuesday-says-judge">of the Alien Enemies Act</a>, which allows the government to bypass normal immigration procedures and remove individuals from the country.
In a prior ruling, the Supreme Court had allowed the administration to proceed with deportations under the Act but required the government to provide notice and allow detainees to challenge their removal in court.

Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Immigrant Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act By Trump White House: Conservative Judges Voice Dissent

Italy has joined the U.S. in opposing taxes on digital services, signaling a shift in its stance on a tax levied against major tech companies, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc.'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, and Facebook-parent Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
What Happened: On Friday, Italy and the U.S. issued a joint statement condemning &#8220;discriminatory&#8221; digital taxes, reported Reuters.
In a statement following Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's meeting with President Joe Biden, the two nations agreed that a non-discriminatory environment for digital service taxation was essential for fostering investment from innovative tech companies.
"We agreed that a non-discriminatory environment in terms of digital services taxation is necessary to enable investments from cutting-edge tech companies," said the statement released after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited the White House on Thursday.

European taxes targeting major U.S. tech firms like Alphabet&#8217;s Google, Meta&#8217;s Facebook, Apple, and Amazon have long been a point of contention for U.S. administrations, including during Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency.
Italy currently imposes a 3% tax on revenue from online transactions for digital companies with global sales of at least 750 million euros ($853.35 million), though the measure generates less than 500 million euros annually for the Italian government.
Although the tax brings in a relatively modest amount of revenue in a country with total budget spending exceeding 800 billion euros, Italy's digital levy remains a politically sensitive issue for Meloni.
While the joint statement did not specify whether Italy would completely scrap its 3% tax on digital revenue, it marked a significant shift in Italy's approach. It also said that Trump will be visiting Italy in the future, the report noted.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The joint statement between Italy and the U.S. comes amid a backdrop of ongoing trade tensions between the EU and the U.S.
The EU has been considering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44784857/eu-threatens-additional-taxes-on-us-tech-giants-amid-ongoing-tariff-war-we-are-developing-retaliatory-measures-says-von-der-leyen">additional taxes on U.S. tech giants</a> if tariff negotiations with the Trump administration do not resolve. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has indicated that the EU is prepared to expand the trade war to include services, potentially taxing digital advertising revenues.
Kevin O&#8217;Leary, known for his role on "Shark Tank," previously argued that the EU's "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal on industrial goods presented a major chance for President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44706557/kevin-oleary-calls-eu-tariff-proposal-a-huge-opportunity-for-trump-to-find-an-off-ramp-amid-global-market-volatility">Trump to ease trade tensions</a>.

Italy Joins US To Oppose 'Discriminatory' Digital Taxes On Big Tech Giants Like Apple, Amazon, Google, And Meta

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have given an ultimatum for the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44455074/oil-rises-as-us-and-russia-begin-talks-in-saudi-arabia-for-ukraine-ceasefire-black-sea-deal">Russia-Ukraine peace talks</a>, stating that the U.S. will abandon efforts unless significant progress is made in the coming days.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump and Rubio expressed frustration over the lack of movement in the peace process between Russia and Ukraine, with Rubio stating that the U.S. would not continue its efforts for an extended period, reported Reuters.&nbsp;
&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I&#8217;m talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks,&#8221; Rubio said during a meeting in Paris with European and Ukrainian leaders.
&#8220;Quickly, we want to get it done,&#8221; Trump told reporters at the White House. &#8220;Now if for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we&#8217;re just going to say, &#8216;you&#8217;re foolish, you&#8217;re fools, you&#8217;re horrible people, and we&#8217;re going to just take a pass. But hopefully we won&#8217;t have to do that.&#8221;

While Trump did not provide a specific deadline for the peace talks, his comments signal growing impatience within the administration.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The U.S. has been pushing for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, with Trump previously stating during his campaign that he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office.
However, Trump administration officials have privately conceded that the likelihood of swiftly securing a peace agreement in Ukraine is fading. According to three European diplomats, Rubio's latest remarks reflect mounting frustration within the White House over Russia's refusal to compromise, the report noted.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged that some progress had been made toward a peace deal, though he described communications with Washington as challenging.
American officials also expressed irritation over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43769730/ukraine-raises-alarm-over-us-russia-talks-on-war-without-kyivs-involvement">accusation that Trump's special envoy</a>, Steve Witkoff, was "spreading Russian narratives," the report said, citing a U.S. official.
Thursday's discussions in Paris marked the first significant in-person talks involving European leaders as part of Trump's peace initiative. A U.S. official added that negotiations would continue in London next week, allowing Ukraine time to consider a proposed "term sheet" from Washington.&nbsp;

Trump Administration Sets Ultimatum For Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks: 'Not Going To Continue With This Endeavour For Weeks And Months,' Says Secretary Of State Rubio

Hertz Global Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) CEO&nbsp;Gil West&nbsp;expressed optimism following&nbsp;Bill Ackman&#8216;s significant investment in the company.
What Happened:&nbsp;Ackman&#8217;s firm,&nbsp;Pershing Square Capital Management, revealed a substantial stake in Hertz, boosting the company&#8217;s stock price.
Ackman&#8217;s investment firm increased its position in Hertz to 19.8%, making it the second-largest shareholder. This move follows a regulatory filing that initially showed a 4.1% stake by the end of 2024.
"Let me start by saying I am humbled, and we should all feel encouraged by Bill Ackman's comments and energized by the strong support shown by him, Pershing Square Capital Management, and others who share confidence in our strategy," <a href="https://newsroom.hertz.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hertz-exits-chapter-11-much-stronger-company">said</a> West.
Ackman&nbsp;received an exemption from the&nbsp;SEC to delay filing, allowing for additional share accumulation.
West, who took the helm at Hertz in April 2024, shared his thoughts&nbsp;in an internal message to&nbsp;employees.
He emphasized the importance of Ackman&#8217;s endorsement, describing it as a testament to the company&#8217;s progress and the relentless efforts of its workforce.

Hertz, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2021, has faced challenges, including a $2.9 billion loss in 2024. The company is now focused on its turnaround plan, including a shift from its previous electric vehicle strategy.
Why It Matters: The investment by&nbsp;Bill Ackman&nbsp;comes at a crucial time for Hertz, as the company seeks to regain its footing after significant financial setbacks.
On April 16, Hertz shares surged by 25% in pre-market trading after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44840772/hertz-stock-zooms-25-pre-market-bill-ackmans-pershing-square-makes-46-5m-bet">Ackman disclosed a $46.5 million investment</a>, signaling strong market confidence in the company&#8217;s potential recovery.
Moreover, Ackman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44878275/billionare-investor-bill-ackman-posts-hertz-investment-thesis-proposes-av-fleet-partnership-with-uber">shared</a> his investment thesis, proposing a potential partnership with Uber for an autonomous vehicle fleet. This strategic vision aligns with Hertz&#8217;s efforts to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing market.
As Hertz continues its turnaround strategy, Ackman&#8217;s endorsement and strategic insights could play a pivotal role in shaping the company&#8217;s future trajectory, providing both financial support and visionary guidance.

Hertz CEO Encouraged By Bill Ackman's Major Investment: 'We Should All Feel Encouraged'

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has reportedly stopped exporting certain high-end vehicles to China due to increased tariffs.
What Happened:&nbsp;The automaker has halted shipments&nbsp;of F-150 Raptors, Mustang muscle&nbsp;cars, and Bronco SUVs from&nbsp;Michigan, as well as Lincoln&nbsp;Navigators from Kentucky, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/china-ford-halts-shipment-3cb51285">to</a> a report by the Wall Street Journal.
This follows China&#8217;s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, which have soared to as high as 150%.
A Ford spokesperson commented, &#8220;We&nbsp;have adjusted exports from the&nbsp;U.S. to China in light&nbsp;of the current tariffs,&#8221; but did not specify which models or provide a timeline.
Although Ford&#8217;s export business to China is relatively small, it remains profitable, with the company exporting its iconic models to China for nearly a decade.
Last year, Ford exported about 5,500 vehicles to China, a significant decrease from the annual average of over 20,000.
Despite halting vehicle exports, Ford continues to ship&nbsp;U.S.-built engines and transmissions to&nbsp;China.

Ford&#8217;s sales in China have been declining, affected by the rise of local Chinese car brands. The company sold approximately 400,000 vehicles in China last year, a sharp drop from 1.3 million in 2016.
Why It Matters: The halt in Ford&#8217;s vehicle shipments to China is a direct consequence of the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.
Recently,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44886711/trump-expresses-reluctance-to-escalate-china-tariffs-hints-at-trade-deal">President Donald Trump</a>&nbsp;expressed reluctance to further escalate tariffs, indicating concerns over potential trade stagnation. He also hinted at China&#8217;s attempts to negotiate a deal, suggesting a possible resolution in the future.
In response to the U.S. tariffs, China has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44856008/china-dismisses-trumps-tariff-numbers-game-files-wto-complaint-talks-can-only-proceed-based-on-mutual-respect">dismissed</a> what it calls a &#8220;tariff numbers game&#8221; and filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization. The Chinese government has stated that talks can only proceed based on mutual respect.
Furthermore, some Chinese firms are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44883166/chinese-firms-are-reportedly-using-shell-entities-to-dodge-trumps-tariffs">reportedly</a> using shell entities to circumvent the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, potentially affecting U.S. revenue collection.

Ford Reportedly Halts Vehicle Shipments To China Amid Rising Tariffs

On Friday, President Donald Trump's White House launched a new COVID-19 website.&nbsp;
What Happened: The newly launched website sharply criticized the pandemic response by the World Health Organization (WHO), former President Joe Biden, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the nation's top health official.
The development was first reported by Reuters.
The website&#8217;s banner declares, &#8220;Lab leak – the true origins of COVID-19,&#8221; and also revisits the ongoing debate about the origins of the pandemic, specifically pointing to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31152736/china-says-us-hurting-its-own-credibility-by-rehashing-covid-19-lab-leak-theory-respect-science-and">lab leak in China</a> as the most likely cause.
&#8220;Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market,&#8221; states one of the five points on the website.

Why It's Important: The president's overhaul of the online resource comes against the backdrop of Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44886711/trump-expresses-reluctance-to-escalate-china-tariffs-hints-at-trade-deal">intensifying trade war with China</a> and continued criticism of past administrations.
In January, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/31062926/edward-snowden-on-covid-19-origin-corporations-must-never-again-be-permitted-to-police-speech">CIA spokesperson stated</a> that the agency believes the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely to have originated from a laboratory than through natural transmission, though it holds only &#8220;low confidence&#8221; in that assessment and considers both possibilities—lab and natural origins—plausible.
The Chinese government has previously said that it supports and has participated in efforts to uncover the virus&#8217;s origins, while accusing the U.S. of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/31109887/xi-jinpings-mouthpiece-warns-elon-musk-against-pushing-china-covid-19-lab-leak-theory">politicizing the issue</a>, particularly due to investigations led by American intelligence agencies.
Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43125408/trump-signs-order-to-withdraw-us-from-who-again-cites-funding-governance-concerns">Trump also signed an executive order</a> to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO, citing concerns over governance and financial practices. This decision continues his first-term efforts to end WHO membership, a move previously reversed by Biden in 2021.
Last month, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44519638/us-department-of-health-and-human-services-aligns-with-trumps-executive-order-to-cut-10k-jobs-save-18-billion">U.S. Department of Health and Human Services</a> announced a restructuring plan aligned with Trump&#8217;s executive order, aiming to cut costs and refocus priorities.
This plan includes reducing the workforce by 10,000 employees, saving $1.8 billion annually.

Trump's New COVID Website Takes Aim At WHO, Fauci, And Biden Over Pandemic Response, Calls Out China Lab Leak Theory

House Democrats have raised serious concerns about the Department of Government Efficiency, alleging it is building a cross-agency master database that could compromise privacy and national security.
What Happened: On Friday, Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) sent a letter to the Social Security Administration's Inspector General requesting an investigation into DOGE, claiming it is collecting and consolidating massive amounts of sensitive personal data, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/652215/doge-cross-agency-master-database-sensitive-information">reported</a> The Verge.
Connolly pointed to accounts from SSA whistleblowers who reported seeing DOGE engineers enter the agency's IT systems carrying backpacks loaded with laptops, each reportedly connected to different federal databases.
Their goal, according to the testimony, was to merge these systems into a single unified database.
&#8220;I have long championed efforts to improve data sharing across the government to combat improper payments and to increase government efficiency," he wrote, adding, &#8220;But any efforts to reform our current systems must be undertaken with the utmost sensitivity and concern for privacy, security, and the Social Security payments that millions of people rely on.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Earlier this month, Daniel Berulis, an IT employee at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), stated in an affidavit that the DOGE Service team was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44859945/whistleblower-alleges-doge-involved-in-major-cybersecurity-breach-at-us-labor-agency">granted broad access to the agency&#8217;s internal</a> systems.
The whistleblower noted that starting in March, he observed suspicious activity, including altered logging protocols and the extraction of around 10 gigabytes of sensitive material.
The data appeared to contain confidential affidavits, union-related records, and proprietary business information.
The allegations against DOGE come amid broader scrutiny of the agency.
Previously, it was reported that despite efforts to cut costs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44778750/musks-government-efficiency-push-falls-short-as-treasury-data-shows-spending-up-sharply-under-trumps-second-term-report">federal spending has increased</a> by $154 billion since Donald Trump returned to office. This rise in spending contrasts with DOGE&#8217;s claims of $150 billion in savings through various cutbacks.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44787438/gao-to-probe-sec-changes-under-trump-administration-musks-department-report">U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)</a> is also set to investigate changes at the SEC under Musk&#8217;s leadership, focusing on staff reductions and work consolidation.

Elon Musk's DOGE Under Fire: House Democrats Say Agency Is Building Unlawful Master Database Of Sensitive US Data

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is undergoing a leadership change after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent raised concerns to President Trump about the appointment of the agency&#8217;s interim head.
What Happened: Five individuals familiar with the situation revealed that Elon Musk influenced the appointment of Gary Shapley as the interim head of the IRS without consulting Bessent, according to<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/us/politics/irs-scott-bessent-elon-musk.html"> a</a> New York Times report on Friday.
This move bypassed Bessent, who oversees the tax agency. Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency facilitated the appointment through White House channels.
Bessent, feeling sidelined, secured Trump&#8217;s approval to reverse the decision. The new acting head is expected to be Michael Faulkender, the deputy secretary of the Treasury, until Billy Long is confirmed by the Senate for the permanent role.

The IRS has seen frequent leadership changes under Trump, with Shapley being appointed after Melanie Krause resigned.
Krause left following an agreement to use IRS data for deportations, a move she opposed. Shapley, a longtime IRS agent, was praised by conservatives for his stance on the Justice Department&#8217;s handling of Hunter Biden&#8217;s tax investigation.
The dispute between Musk and Bessent became public when Musk amplified a post by Laura Loomer questioning Bessent&#8217;s loyalty to Trump.
Loomer&#8217;s post accused Bessent of meeting with a &#8220;Trump hater,&#8221; which Musk called &#8220;troubling.&#8221; The individual in question was John Hope Bryant, CEO of Operation HOPE, who clarified that his meeting with Bessent did not involve political discussions.
Why It Matters: The appointment of Gary Shapley as interim IRS head follows his whistleblower testimony alleging<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44829763/trump-to-reportedly-appoint-hunter-biden-whisteblower-gary-shapley-as-acting-irs-commissioner-hell-be-a-great-asset"> bias in the investigation of Hunter Biden</a>.
This appointment aligns with Trump&#8217;s administration&#8217;s recent moves, including the IRS&#8217;s controversial decision to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44706330/irs-reverses-stance-agrees-to-share-undocumented-migrant-taxpayers-information-with-ice-this-is-unprecedented"> share undocumented taxpayers&#8217; information</a> with ICE, which has been criticized as part of a mass deportation effort.
Additionally, the IRS&#8217;s leadership changes occur amid speculation about the agency&#8217;s future. Grant Cardone, a prominent critic of the IRS, has suggested that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44440924/grant-cardone-says-dont-be-surprised-when-president-trump-eliminates-the-irs"> Trump might eliminate the agency</a> altogether.

Trump Reverses Elon Musk-Influenced IRS Interim Head Appointment Following Scott Bessent's Objection: Report

Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has postponed the U.S. debut of an affordable version of its Model Y SUV.
The vehicle, internally known as E41, was initially set to launch in the first half of the year.
What Happened: Three sources with knowledge of the situation revealed that the production of this lower-cost Model Y in the U.S. is now expected to start several months later than Tesla&#8217;s public plan, according to a Reuters report on Friday.
The revised timeline suggests a start from the third quarter to early next year.
While the exact cause of the delay remains unclear, two sources indicated Tesla&#8217;s goal to manufacture 250,000 units of the cheaper Model Y in the U.S. by 2026. Plans also include eventual production in China and Europe.
The delay and production targets had not been disclosed before. Tesla&#8217;s upcoming earnings report on Tuesday is expected to address these plans.

Why It Matters: The delay in launching the affordable Model Y comes amidst Tesla&#8217;s plans to introduce a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43616177/tesla-exec-says-performance-variant-seven-seat-interior-on-new-model-y-will-launch-later-this-year"> Performance variant of the refreshed Model Y</a> later this year, as stated by company executive Lars Moravy.
The<a href="https://benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43183608/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-us-with-25-price-hike-full-self-driving-included"> refreshed Model Y</a>, launched in January, is part of Tesla&#8217;s strategy to maintain its competitive edge in the electric vehicle market.

Elon Musk's Tesla Delays Launch Of Affordable Model Y By Several Months: Report

On Friday, White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said the Donald Trump administration is exploring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44861571/donald-trump-blasts-too-late-and-wrong-fed-chair-powell-but-polymarket-traders-doubt-his-termination-will-come-fast-enough">ways to remove</a> Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
What Happened: Hassett told reporters at the White House that the &#8220;President and his team will continue to study,&#8221; whether it&#8217;s possible to fire Powell, <a href="https://thehill.com/business/5256173-trump-exploring-firing-fed-chair/">reported</a> The Hill.
The legal framework surrounding Powell's position complicates any potential firing. According to a 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent, a Federal Reserve chair can only be removed for misconduct or severe neglect of office.
Powell has repeatedly stated that he cannot be legally removed from office and has insisted he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43493701/fed-chair-jerome-powell-faces-trumps-pressure-the-president-cant-fire-me-as-interest-rates-hold-steady-at-4-25-4-5">would serve his full term</a>.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Hassett's comments followed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44862662/trump-pressures-fed-as-ecb-delivers-7th-straight-rate-cut">series of public attacks</a> from President Trump, who has been increasingly critical of Powell, particularly over the Fed's refusal to cut interest rates.
Trump's anger toward Powell intensified this week, culminating in a Thursday morning post on social media where the president expressed his frustration, saying he couldn&#8217;t wait for Powell&#8217;s &#8220;termination.&#8221;
This followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">Powell's warnings that Trump's trade</a> tariffs could fuel inflation and cause a slowdown in economic growth, a scenario Trump has said would prevent the Fed from making the necessary rate cuts.
The potential dismissal of Powell has raised concerns about the stability of U.S. financial markets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44882256/trumps-threat-to-fire-powell-could-shake-us-financial-markets">Investment strategists</a> have warned that such a move could undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve and cause significant market turbulence.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has also cautioned that firing Powell could lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44883756/warren-foresees-market-turmoil-if-trump-dismisses-feds-powell-if-powell-can-be-fired-by-trump-it-will-crash-markets">stock market collapse</a>.

Trump's Top Economic Adviser Kevin Hassett Says White House Is Exploring Options To Fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell: 'The President And His Team Will Continue To Study'

XRP has experienced a significant sell-off over the past few weeks after peaking in early January and reaching a new all-time high of $3.40 per token. The last time XRP traded above the $3 mark was in January 2018.
As of April 10, XRP is trading at $1.96.

XRP has experienced a significant sell-off over the past few weeks after peaking in early January and reaching a new all-time high of $3.40 per token. The last time XRP traded above the $3 mark was in January 2018.
What XRP Is Used For and the Tech Behind It
XRP is mainly used for moving money across borders quickly and cheaply. Ripple built it to help banks and payment providers settle international transactions in seconds instead of days. Instead of needing to hold a bunch of different currencies, XRP can be used as a bridge—especially in places where liquidity is thin.
It runs on the XRP Ledger, which isn't like Bitcoin or Ethereum. There's no mining involved. It uses its own consensus mechanism that lets it handle about 1,500 transactions per second, with super low fees. It's fast, efficient, and doesn't chew up energy like proof-of-work chains do.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
What's With The Drop?
Over the last few weeks, XRP has declined more than 40% after topping out in January. The primary cause of this drop—though you can spin a lot of different narratives around it—is the broader derisking in the U.S. economy, which has triggered a global risk-off sentiment.
Fundamentally, nothing has really changed with XRP. This pullback is largely driven by a bearish macro outlook. Compared to other altcoins, XRP has actually held up relatively well—thanks to stronger fundamentals and institutional backing.&nbsp;

Key Levels to Watch
In the weeks and months ahead, it will be crucial to monitor key levels to get a better sense of whether the market is going to continue dropping, reverse, or simply consolidate for a while.
On the daily chart, XRP is in a clear bearish trend. There was a moment where it looked like a potential breakout to the upside, but that move was entirely news-driven—sparked by <a href="https://x.com/DegenerateNews/status/1896221266241356274">Trump's post </a>about a potential "Crypto Reserve," in which XRP was included.
There are two short-term support levels I'd keep an eye on, both of which have shown recent signs of demand. The first is the $1.75 level, and the second is the $1.40s—a prior area where price accumulated back in November.
With these levels in mind, I'd watch the trend. It's a common saying, but the trend truly is your friend. Currently, in most risk-on markets—especially U.S. equities—the trend is bearish.
If you're an investor or trader looking for a bullish case, you'd want to start seeing XRP fail to trade towards old lows and begin forming higher lows in the market. This would not only set up a potential long move but also possibly shift the negative sentiment that has been prevailing in the crypto markets for a while now.

Why Merck, Black Hills, And Virtus Investment Partners Are Winners For Passive Income

It's not something most people expect to find while cleaning out a loved one's home, but it happens. One listener of the "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-revisiting-can-i-give-my-child-money-and-get-a-tax-deduction">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast recently asked financial expert Suze Orman what to do after discovering $200,000 in cash stashed away by her deceased father.
The listener explained that her father didn't trust banks and saved his paychecks in cash, hiding them around the house over time. Now, she's faced with a major question: What's the right way to handle this money?
Don't Miss:
<ul>

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Here's how Suze Orman responded.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 1: Don't Let the Money Sit in Cash</h2>
Orman began by stressing the opportunity cost of keeping such a large sum in cash. "You're missing out on about $10,000 a year currently in interest," she noted.
Letting the money sit at home not only limits its earning potential — it also puts it at risk of theft or loss. That's why <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44424162/its-a-really-really-bad-idea-suze-orman-warns-58-year-old-against-using-a-401k-to-buy-a-lifetime">Orman</a> believes the safest next step involves depositing it. But that's not as simple as walking into a bank with stacks of cash.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 2: Talk to the Estate Lawyer</h2>
Before heading to the bank, Orman recommends contacting the attorney handling the estate. If there's no lawyer involved, she advises hiring one, even for a short consultation. They can guide you on how to legally deposit the money and ensure everything is above board.
Why the caution? Large deposits — especially over $10,000 — trigger federal reporting requirements. Banks are required to report these transactions to government agencies as part of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42266678/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-failed-anti-money-laundering-regulations-sounds-like-a-job-for-doge">anti-money-laundering rules</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 3: Be Transparent With the Bank</h2>
Orman suggests going to a bank where either you or your loved one had an account. Bring documentation like the death certificate, the will or trust, and any paperwork that shows you're the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42803339/keep-it-separate-suze-orman-warns-listener-about-protecting-her-childrens-inheritance-when-buying-a-home-with-a-new-spouse">beneficiary of the estate</a>.
"Just come clean," she advises. Explain how and where the money was found, and that you're trying to handle it responsibly. The bank may have questions, but full transparency can help avoid future issues.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 4: Deposit the Money Into the Estate Account</h2>
Rather than depositing the funds directly into your personal account, Orman recommends opening a bank account in the name of the estate. This keeps everything tied to the deceased person's financial affairs and can simplify the probate process, if applicable.
Once the cash is deposited into the estate account, it becomes part of the official estate assets. From there, you or the executor can distribute it according to the terms of the will or trust — or as directed by the probate court.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Taxes Could Be Involved</h2>
Orman also cautioned that depending on your situation, the IRS might treat the money as part of the estate and expect a portion in taxes. Or, they might accept your explanation and move on. Either way, working with a lawyer and possibly a tax professional can help ensure you follow the right steps.
If you find a large sum of cash in a loved one's home, don't panic — but don't ignore it either. Follow Orman's lead: seek legal guidance, stay transparent, and take the right steps to protect yourself and the money.
