Lately: Tariffs and TikTok, AI job loss and doctors on YouTube
(FILES) In this photo illustration the social media application logo for TikTok is displayed on the screen of an iPhone in front of a US flag and Chinese flag background in Washington, DC, on March 16, 2023. US President Donald Trump said on April 6, 2025 that China would have agreed to a deal on the sale of TikTok if it were not for the tariffs imposed by Washington on Beijing last week. "The report is that we had a deal, pretty much for TikTok, not a deal, but pretty close, and then China changed the deal because of tariffs. If I gave a little cut in tariffs, they'd approve that deal in 15 minutes, which shows you the power of tariffs," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
