Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

Quick Glance: Turkey: New Foreign Policy as Opportunity for EU and West

Erdogan shifts towards a more conciliatory foreign policy and re-engages with the West. Europe should support this reorientation as Turkey remains a key player in the region.

Turkey recently ratified Sweden's NATO membership and was rewarded with the promise of new fighter jets from the US Congress.

Turkey aims for relaxation in relations with Greece and in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. However, the reliability of this new harmony remains uncertain.

Turkey relies heavily on the EU economically and seeks a new customs agreement. Its flexible approach in foreign policy is evident, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.

Quick Glance: Investigation Launched After Beijing Half Marathon Finish

Following the finish of the Beijing Half Marathon, the results are now under scrutiny due to the peculiar behavior displayed by three runners from Kenya and Ethiopia.

A Chinese runner overtook the others, as seen in a recorded livestream of the Beijing Half Marathon. The remaining three runners - Willy Mnangat and Robert Keter from Kenya, and Dejene Hailu from Ethiopia - followed closely behind, with He claiming the first place.

The organizers of the half-marathon are currently examining the results after a video of the finish circulated online, prompting many to question the intention of the three African runners to slow down.

The winner secured the first place with a time of 1 hour 3 minutes 44 seconds. Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu shared the second place, one second later.

'Iran is in for the long haul' with oil tanker hijacks, expert says, as U.S. considers more sanctions

cnbc.com/2024/04/16/iran-is-in-for-the-long-haul-with-oil-tanker-hijacks-expert-says.html

Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel

Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.

Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.

Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.

Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
