We have already seen Yangwang U8 from byd float in a river. It is more impressive than we imagined

by

Cars and water have never got along well. It is enough to go for YouTube to see what happens When a vehicle Try to cross a riverhowever caudalous it is: drowned motors, electrical systems failing and assured breakdowns. However, Byd has been demonstrating that there is an exception for more than a year. Is called Yangwang U8a high-end mastodontic SUV that has just starred in a curious scene in the e-journey organized by the brand in China: floating and moving naturally by a river. Yes, you can navigate. And it’s not just marketing. How can we see in a videothe U8 descends through a slope to the water, floats without difficulty and advances maneuvering gently. It is not something that is seen every day in a serial vehicle. According to Car News Chinathe system allows to navigate up to 3 km/Hy stay afloat for 30 minutes, thanks to an IP67 protection for the car set and IP68 in its key components. Technology at the service of survival. When the driver activates the water crossing mode from the central screen, the car begins to monitor depth, inclination and other parameters by sensors. If it detects adequate conditions, automatically enters emergency flotation mode. At that time, the suspension rises to its maximum level, the windows are closed, the air conditioner goes to air recirculation and the fans adjust its operation to improve the sealing of the vehicle. Even the sunroof automatically opens as an escape in case of emergency. A SUV that wants to step hard in its segment. Yangwang U8 is not limited to floating. It is a luxury SUV that aspires to mark a before and after in its segment. According to the official press note of Bydthe Premium Edition version presented in September 2023 includes technologies such as the E⁴ platform (the first in the world with four independent electric motors in production) and the Disus-P intelligent hydraulic control system. With these technologies, the vehicle is capable of performing maneuvers such as turns on its own axis (Tank Turns), stabilization in case of a puncture and an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. All this with a joint power of 1,200 horses and an autonomy of up to 1,000 km thanks to its plug -in hybrid system. An ambitious bet on the electric. Byd’s proposal goes beyond the engine and traction. Yangwang U8 can completely recharge from 30% to 80% in just 18 minutes with rapid 110 kW charging and offers external food (VTL) capacity of up to 6 kW, enough to feed electronic devices or tools for more than 24 hours. Inside, luxury is also present: Nappa Leather, Curves OLED screens, wood and a 22 -speakers Dynaudio audio system. Everything, topped with the intelligent Nvidia architecture and more than 500 calculation power tops for advanced assisted driving. This is not about adventures. It goes emergency. Although more than one has passed through the head to cross a lake with his car for fun, Byd clarifies that this function is not intended for recreational activities. Its purpose is to provide a useful tool in case of emergencies, such as floods or sudden floods. In fact, if the flotation mode is activated, the manufacturer recommends taking the vehicle to review as soon as possible, as China Car Channel also emphasizes.

Spain suffered a mass blackout. The distributed teleworking came immediately to save many companies

by

Spain has lived an unprecedented fact in its history: A generalized blackout that affected the electricity supply of The entire Iberian Peninsulaincluding Portugal. As a collateral effect due to saturation, the mobile communications network He also collapsed. This made the normal development of The working day. So many companies ended up closing their doors. The blackout that Spain has suffered has been A very extreme casebut teleworking and, above all, distributed work has saved the furniture of those companies that did not have a staff structure based on workers resident in a single citycountry and even continent. While many companies They were forced at closing For not having electricity or Internet access, including those with remote employees, companies with remote workers distributed throughout the world demonstrated their resilience to any local incidence such as the one that left Spain in the dark. We have talked to two of those companies that could maintain their activity in Spain thanks to remote work distributed by different countries. Distributed work and global blackout templates One of the things that the proliferation of the Teleworking after the 2020 pandemicis that talent It no longer has borders And, thanks to technology, someone in Bali I could be teleworking For a Spanish company without any problem. Some digital native companies such as Eventbritea platform for the sale of tickets and events, broke with their centralized organization following the pandemic, and chose to redesign their structure in A decentralized model Based on small teams distributed throughout the world, but mainly in the US, India and Spain. Jaime ValloriVice President of Eventbrite engineering assured that Thanks to that decentralized structureEventbrite continued to function normally while the blackout lasted. “We organize in teams (Squads) that are responsible for the maintenance of the detail pages of certain events. On Monday, the Squads of Spain is not that they could not do the maintenance of those events, they could not even know if something happened because they could not access,” Vallori told us. Before such a scenariothe rest of the teams located outside Spain took over from their teammates. “We activate a protocol so that the teams we have in the United States and India, proactively monitoring those areas that we covered from Spain, but obviously, could not be covered by our team,” said Eventbrite Engineering head in Spain. Vallori stressed that the platform has an incident alert protocol that is automatically climbing to different equipment if it is not answered in a certain period of time. “Since we are geographically distributed, throughout that protocol there is people from different areas of the world Until you get up at all. Therefore, although we had not given us time to activate that checkup (of local events) proactively, in the end through the scaling, it would have reached someone who could access and resolve the incidence, “Vallorí explained. “Our customer service is also distributed between the United States and other countries,” says Vallori. Therefore, if someone with sufficient coverage In Spain I would like to be attended by the company’s customer service could have done so because it remained active despite the fact that the development team in Spain was not operational. Blablacar continued moving in the dark Víctor Méndez, Vice President of Engineering of Blablacar, already told us the Advantages of having a remote template distributed by different countries. Resilience to an event like the blackout that Spain has suffered is one that can add to its list. Florent BannwarthCountry Lead de Blablacar, lived in the first person the disconnection of your entire team of the company’s infrastructure. “He had time to see him come a little and notify France and other countries from which he was going to come to Spain. No one was going to be able to use the platform and we did not know when he was going to re -normalize. So from France they could organize and gave us support, “Bannwarth recalled. In addition to the shared car service, Blablacar also manages an international bus service, so it starts from France’s support was based on replacing the Spanish team in the management of those buses that came out of different parts of Spain. If not for them, This service would have stopped workingjust at the time when neither trains nor airplanes They operated normally. “The service worked without incident and had an important peak of activity, especially between Barcelona and cities in southern France such as Perpignan and Toulouse, many passengers. At the last minute the only thing that worked It was the bus“The head of the Blablacar team in Spain said. On the other hand, Blablacar’s distributed model allowed teams from other countries Maintain the operational platform in Spain so that it would not register incidents once the service was restored, avoiding delays in its implementation as it happened In the railway sector. “The next Tuesday was the day that the most reservations made in Blablacar in more than 15 years in Spain”, due to the need for urgent displacement of those who They had stayed halfway of his destinations because of the blackout. “Another advantage we had was that, part of the user service team that attends in Spanish, works from France and other countries,” although Spain’s staff of Spain was not operational, users who had coverage could solve their incidents normally.

The Steel Tank of the huge Cz-9 rocket has just manufactured

by

Spacex continues years away from any competitor, including the Chinese government. Like the rest of the world, China has been late for reusable rockets and the Starlink satellite constellation, which has an undeniable strategic value. But with Starship, the giant rocket that Spacex is developing in Texas, China is determined to cut distances. The Chinese starship. While Spacex continues to put the highest and most powerful pitcher in the world (not without some difficulty), China has stepped on the accelerator in the development of its own reusable superpesado rocket: the long march 9 (CZ-9) of 114 meters high. The renders are over. This time, the Chinese Academy of Release Vehicle Technology (CALT) has presented two real -scale prototypes of stainless steel tanks of the CZ-9. Its dimensions are not trivial: they measure 5 and 10.6 meters in diameter (Starship has a width of 9 meters). While the 10.6 meter tank fits perfectly with the CZ-9, the purpose of the 5-meter prototype is … less evident. Perhaps CALT is exploring a stainless steel version of the CZ-10, the rocket with which China wants to send astronauts to the moon, or simply using this diameter as a test bench to validate rapid manufacturing technologies (it took only 60 days to design and manufacture the tanks). The SpaceX recipe. While Spacex has the manufacture of stainless steel dominated, for China the production of tanks of this size steel is an advance, since the rockets usually be made of aluminum and carbon fiber. Calt has encountered the challenges of the material: it is more difficult to mechanize than aluminum, and more prone to buckling and deformation in the welds. Overcoming these obstacles has required, according to the state company, “several key technical advances” in assembly, welding and forming. But there are two good reasons why Spacex chose steel: its price (it is cheap and can be manufactured on a large scale) and its resistance (Starship has demonstrated a great capacity to resist the atmospheric braking), a crucial feature for a rocket that aspires to be total and quickly reusable. From partial to totally reusable. China’s plan is first develop a partially reusable version of the CZ-9, scheduled for 2030, and then evolve towards total reuse with version CZ-9BR at some point between 2033 and 2035. Another similarity with Spacex is the number of engines and the chosen fuel: 30 YF-215 methane with 200 tons of thrust each in its first stage, for a total load capacity of 150 tons to the low orbit. So that. The potential uses of CZ-9 They are so varied As in the case of Starship: establish a manned lunar base, display central gigantic solar energy in spaceto launch space telescopes and, yes, manned missions to Mars.

The north of Spain has been complaining about mass tourism for years. Asturias has discovered the bitter consequences of losing it

by

The formula of nature, calm and good kitchen that for years promoted Rural tourism In Asturias It seems to lose bellows. AND clearly. Although the photo of recent years is distorted by COVID, the housing of the principality specialized in this type of tourism have seen how His activity descended until they were driving before the pandemic. At least according to INE data. It is not so much a “puncture” in the flow of travelers and in that of the rooms (They last less) and the loss of interest in the national market. The phenomenon is interesting because it coincides with another or even more media: complaints in a large part of the peninsular northern ( Galicia to Cantabria or in your own Asturias) For precisely the opposite, the effects of tourist massification. While in Cantabria they cry for not being “The North Ibiza” And Galicia complains about The “fodechinchos”inside and the Asturian mountain the hoteliers cry out for measures that avoid the slow decline of rural tourism. An icon in low hours. A quick search arrives on Google to verify that rural tourism does not go through its best moment in Asturias. TO The news of the Regional Press about The fall of activity those in the sector claiming are added “Specific aids” and those of the Principality trying to reassure him. In fact, in January Adrián Barbón He promised to “rethink” rural tourism of the region “to recover thrust.” Shortly after its executive announced a Bond program With discounts designed to encourage demand. That the situation of the sector arouses so much interest in the Principality is more than understandable. In the mid -80s, and thanks largely to your campaign “Asturias Paraíso Natural”the community managed to make a place in a sector in which until then the tourism of Sun and beach prevailed. Today Asturias adds hundreds of establishments with thousands of places (in August the INE computed almost 1,400 and 14,800respectively) and stands out for its volume of rural houses per capita. What do the data say? That the sector has known better times. The INE shows that last year the Rural Accommodations of Asturias received some 304,000 travelers who paid for 924,400 overnight stays. The first data is not exactly bad. It is a slight increase of 1.7% compared to 2023 and is online of 2019. The second worries. In a Growth scenario The number of hired nights fell 3.2% year -on -year and remains away from the almost 975,000 overnight stays that the sector managed in 2019. The 2025 start has not been especially good. During the first quarter the volume of travelers and overnight stays fell with respect to last year, although the data should be handled cautiously. First because in 2024 Holy Week, a period of strong tourist demand, fell in March and this year did so in April. Second because There may be variations important from one month to another. In fact the Principality He has checked already for the growth of February. “Very black winter”. The truth is that the sector is far from satisfied. Recently the president of the EO-Porcia association implied in An interview with eldiario.es that the balance has been of everything but good in recent months. “50% of the peoples that are still inhabited today are for rural tourism. Fixed population and allows you I recognized. In its own accommodations, three apartments and a house, it did not register any reserve between the Bridge of the Constitution and last Holy Week. Looking for the causes. The big question is … What are you due to these data from the sector, especially overnight stays? Why if in August 2001 the average stay In rural accommodations, was 6.13 days passed to 4.76 in 2019 and 4.24 last year? For Ana Llanoof the Fuentes del Narcea Association, one of the keys is the change in demand. Tourists are looking for different things today during their vacations. Or rather, it does so at a different rhythm and way. “Before people came to spend the summer, to spend a few days in nature, to enjoy the house themselves. Now people want regrets In eldiario.es. His comment is in tune with the data on the duration of the rooms and another key indicator: the overnight stays fall in the rural one, but grow in the set of Asturias. “They end rural tourism”. To that challenge others are added: the de -stationalization, the need to enrich the offer with packages or the competition of other types of accommodation, such as Tourist housing (VUT) or the “illegal establishments” that (precisely by acting outside the administration) also blur the balance of the sector. There are those who speak of tens only between Vegadeo and Navia and who focuses the focus on the VUT. “They are ending rural tourism,” they said recently From the sector to The voice. Foreign lifeguard. The general photo leaves another interesting nuance. Asturian rural accommodations may be invoiced today less overnight than before pandemic, but that fall is mainly due to domestic demand. The nights hired by Spaniards fall, but those reserved by tourists from outside the country have grown considerably. With that backdrop last autumn the Principality launched A campaign aimed above all to the Asturian themselves. His slogan: “Are you sure you know Asturias?” When tourism does not arrive. The case of Asturias is interesting for something else. Between record tourism data and with the open debate on the effect of the sector on the real estate market, over the last years in much of Spain they have happened The protests against tourist. Especially in points such as the Canary Islands or Balearic Islands, but also in areas of the North, including Galicia or Cantabria, where the saturation of certain points has become a matter of debate. The Asturian rural and interior situation leaves a key question: what happens when tourism stops arriving or comes less? What if the Fodechinchos Do they stop traveling or areas that have developed … Read more

The reason why electricity took more than 15 hours to restore 100% in Spain: the feared “Black Start”

by

The Iberian Peninsula went out at 12:33 of April 28. In just five seconds, two southwest disconnections of the peninsula They removed more than half of the instant demand from the network. The frequency collapsed and interconnection with France jumped by instability. Spain stayed at 0 MW and 0 Hz, never seen. Resting the service was the real challenge. 15 hours of surgical work. At 03:30 on Tuesday, Red Eléctrica, the Spanish electrical system operator, announced that 99.95% of the demand was covered again (100% was not reached until the afternoon in the afternoon). Spain starred in greater practical exercise of replacement of a European network From the great continental blackout of 2006, The first on this scale from a country that obtains its energy mainly from renewable sources. The dreaded Black Start. Turn on the light out of nowhere, start the zero power grid. With 50 million users, Spain has faced One of the most challenging cases of “Black Start” They are remembered. He needed 15 hours because he had to go step by step, first starting the most flexible plants: hydroelectric plants, enabled for Black Start with diesel structure to feed pumps, valves and control systems). Mainless Spain redeemed. With 10% of the Spanish mix and 25% of the Portuguese, the pumping hydraulics was the first ammunition: The hydroelectric plants of the Muela and Aldeadávila They synchronized in three minutes, moving from zero to 3 GW. Each central created its 50 Hz “island” (the frequency at which the turbines have to turn) before introducing load. Red Electric was connecting the turbines one by one and introducing load in a dosing way so as not to stop them. Gas for climbing. With the nuclear off (except for the imported of France, which provided 1.4 GW of power in the replacement), the gas plants became the backbone of the network before reincorporating renewables. Monday’s wind was almost calm and the photovoltaic disappeared at nightfall, so the weight fell on water and gas. Morocco injected several hundred MW who were critical to start plants in Andalusia. As for nuclear. The automatic cut of five of the seven reactors generated a radio traffic jam: the xenon-135 accumulated after a sudden stop absorbs neutrons and blocks the reaction for 24-48 h. 32 hours after the blackout, No nuclear had yet been synchronized. That 3-4 GW hole synchronous forced to squeeze hydraulics and gas and delayed total recovery. The fuses jumped. When the blackout occurred, more than 70% of the generation was renewable (37% solar, 32% wind). 3.4 GW of nuclear energy, 1.6 GW of cycles and 1.4 GW of cogeneration provided the synchronous inertia of the network, but were not enough to compensate for the disconnection of two stations. Neither The interconnected network was enough to sustain the frequency (only 3 GW with France and 700 MW with Morocco). The substations acted as giant fuses against imbalance and isolated the network to avoid catastrophic damage. That is why it is said that Spain and Portugal are energy islands, despite being in the same network as the rest of European countries. Some lessons. With high renewable quotas, which They do not have the inertia of other energy sources To stabilize the network, it takes a greater resilience than the European electricity grid. In other words, invest in investors at network level, batteries and renewable synchronous (biomass or more pumping hydraulics). As well as in better interconnections. All this is planned, but it was not on time to avoid the blackout and the Black Start. Image | Electric Red In Xataka | We have just lived the first great blackout of the renewable era.

We begin to discover the effect of microplastics on our body thanks to the most unsuspected thing: tap water

by

The heat comes and, with it, the thirst comes. On average, according to some public estimates, household consumption grows up to 44%. But those data are incomplete because, a good part of the water we drink, comes in bottle. In Spain they are sold 5,331 million liters of bottled water every year. And it is a market in full growth. Sales grow annually at a rate of 2.5%. What we usually forget is that this type of product has consequences: the pressure pressure rises. As? What does what? One might think that drinking water rises the normal artery pressure. After all, blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. If there is more liquid in the system or more salt, there should be more pressure … But not. Although obviously in extreme cases and, of course, specific conditions and compositions They alter the pressure Within a fork, the system has dozens of mechanisms to ensure that the blood pressure of a normal human being is what has to be. And then? That is what some scientists from the Danube University asked when, in the middle of a very small clinical trial They discovered that the same did not happen with bottled water. The Austrian team discovered that by keeping eight healthy people (of both genres) to a “water regime” of only tap water, His basal diastolic blood pressure dropped. It happened in men and in mujres, but in the latter the effect was much more striking. Because? Right now we only have hypotheses, but the most solid are phthalates (chemical substances that make the most flexible and durable plastic). And, honestly, it is something quite interesting: because, although all the water we consume right now has complex microplastics and substances, the truth is that they do not have the same things. And that is exceptionally good news. Not because with the available information is (or not) advisable to take (or stop drinking) bottled water. But because it is these little things that allow us to improve our understanding of What microplastics do in our bodies.

What does well and what still does not improve in a mid -range that points high

by

Renewing the mobile without spending a fortune has become an increasingly demanding task. In the mid -range There is more and more competition, and also more demands. That is why models such as Samsung Galaxy A56 They continue to attract all looks: they promise a good balance between performance, camera and autonomy, without jumping to the high range. But the big question is whether they really meet everything they promise. To check to what extent it meets, Mario Arroyo has been using the Galaxy A56 as its main telephone, with all that that implies. “It’s a phone that you probably have on the radar if you want to change your mobile, so to see if it’s worth it, I’m going to show you how my life has been with him after 30 days of use,” he says at the beginning of the video. This model already recently appeared in a face to face in front of the iPhone 16E. But this time the approach is different: there is no direct comparison, but a total immersion in what the A56 offers, with its strengths and its most questionable decisions. One of the key sections is the camera, where Samsung repeats formula with respect to previous generations. Mario reviews his capabilities and puts on the table some deficiencies that begin to be difficult to justify in this range. Is it a lot about last year’s model? In the video there are examples that help you understand it. On the 21st of tests, the performance enters the scene. The new Samsung processor, along with its general optimization, leaves a clear sensation, especially after intense sessions of game or multitasking. Is it going as fluid as promises on paper? Mario does not keep his impression. The battery, as usual in this range, maintains the figure of 5,000 mAh. But the difference is in management, and how that data translates into screen hours and effective load. Here we also find some interesting surprise. And yes, as always, the price ends up being the definitive filter. Because it’s not just about specifications, but what you get in return. In that analysis, Mario does not remain superficial. Exposes what the Galaxy A56 offers and puts it in context with what you can find for similar figuresboth inside and outside Samsung. If you are thinking of changing mobiles and the Galaxy A56 is on your list of options, this video interests you. A month of use for a lot, and Mario has condensed his experience to have a clear idea before making any decision.

We have just lived the first great blackout of the renewable era. The debate is now how to get the last one

by

The debate in public opinion is served for the coming weeks, at least Until the conclave arrivesat which time it will be limited to the specialized circles of the energy sector. Bloomberg analyst Javier Blas, He has baptized What happened in Spain and Portugal as “the great green blackout of the era of renewable energy.” Although the authorities have not yet offered a definitive version, the debate has intensified. Until now. The official version is still preliminary, but Red Eléctrica de España has offered a technical reconstruction of what happened. According to the latest information, the fall was not the product of a cyber attack or sabotage, but of the failure chain of several systems in a context of high renewable penetration. In a matter of seconds, about 15 gigawatts were disconnected, approximately 60% of the consumption of electric demand, due to a sharp drop in voltage, known as “voltage hole.” This type of active fall automatic protection systems that disconnect power plants and substations to avoid greater damage. According to Financial Timesthe lack of inertia – the capacity of certain infrastructure such as turbines to stabilize the network— He worsened the problem. And since Portugal partially depends on the Spanish supply, the blackout immediately extended to the entire neighboring country. Despite this, Beatriz Corredor, president of Red Electrica, He has warned that “it is not correct to relate the incident to the penetration of renewables”, defending that these technologies work stable and that the Spanish electrical system is resilient. He also pointed out that millions of data are being analyzed to clarify the exact causes of the blackout and reinforce the response protocols. Debate is reopened. A few weeks ago, the discussion in the energy sector revolved around Scheduled closure of the nuclear centrals planned for two years. However, the blackout has catalyzed a more visible ideological shock: renewable vs. nuclear. Such as has detailed eldiario.es, what happened has fed tensions among those who defend the energy transition against those who want to keep nuclear as stable support. In that same article, Jorge Sanz, the former president of the Commission for Energy Transition, has declared that one of the factors was the massive disconnection of renewables before a voltage hole. However, like has pointed out Renewable expert Xavier Cugat in his networks, Sanz has omitted a relevant fact: The existence of the Srap (Automatic protection response system), already operational and with several real and solar wind capacity gigawatts. A crucial tool that, although it did not avoid the blackout, is part of the effort to improve the technical response of renewables in these situations. But there is an unstoppable reality. According to Irenain 2024 92.5% of the new electrical power installed worldwide was renewable. That is, twelve times more renewable than nuclear, gas and coal together were installed. Clean energies are already the norm: they are cheaper, safe and in many countries, almost the only option that is being expanded. There are already concrete examples: countries like Paraguay, Iceland or Norway They work with 100% of renewable generation. The address is clear; What is at stake is how to manage this transformation without compromising system stability. What is the way? As has explained for RNE The head of the Rey Juan Carlos University, Eloy Sanz, which the Iberian Peninsula is an “energy island” with Very little international connection. Spain and Portugal need an integration much stronger With the rest of Europe to share surpluses, balance demand and strengthen system safety. To this is added the need to continue investing in storage, such as batteries, Reversible pumping plants either Green hydrogen. Finally, the development of technologies such as Synthetic inertiaalready deployed in countries such as Denmark, which simulate the stabilizing effect of old thermal plants or other strategy such as Synchronous Power Controlwhich allow renewables to also contribute to the stability of the network without the need for batteries or physical inertia flyers. Ignoring this has a price. As He has summarized Javier Blas in his column with crudeness: “The design of the network, the policies and risk analysis are not yet up to the management of an excess of renewables.” It is not an attack on clean energy, but a call of attention. The error would be to abandon renewables by a blackout, nor were fossil fuels left after Blackout New York in 1977. But we must learn. The future of energy will be renewable, but it cannot be naive or ideological.

A call was enough

While in Spain we tried to heat the food obtaining heat with shapes Alternatives to electricitythe bosom of the Oval Office between Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos were more than warm, as they counted in Fox News. The filtration of an internal Amazon report in which the possibility that the giant of the Jeff Bezos online trade Draw the impact of tariffs on the price of each product. White House reactions soon arrived and the own Trump off the phone To talk to Bezos. An internal Amazon report. The political fire began after the Publication of an internal report by the American environment PunchBowl News. In this internal Amazon document, the possibility of detailing in the final price of the products was considered the additional cost derived from tariffs, as is done with taxes or with the shipping cost. With this movement, the company founded by Jeff Bezos approached the strategy of rivals as Shein and Temuwhich are planned to increase the prices of products that are sent to the US as a result of tariffs to China and break up your cost. The White House draws the artillery. Such and As you collect the BBCthe White House response soon arrived. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt found Trump’s discomfort in a press conference for the content of the report and described the intentions of the Jeff Bezos company as “a hostile and political act by Amazon.” White House spokeswoman added: “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration raised inflation at its highest level in 40 years? This is another reason why Americans should buy American products.” Leavitt went a little further in the valuations of the Amazon report, flying A publication of 2021 Reuters in which Amazon was accused of aligning with “the Chinese propaganda arm” to censor the reviews of the users of a book with the speeches of Chinese president Xi Jinping. In An interview With the CNBC, Howard Lutnick, US Secretary of Commerce, described Amazon’s decision as “absurd”. “A 10% tariff will not change virtually any price,” said the universal tariff percentage for all countries. “The only price that would change would be that of a product that we did not produce here, such as the mango,” the person in charge of trade slid that, According to data Statista, 71% of the products that Amazon sells They are manufactured in China and support tariffs up to 145%. Trump picks up the phone. The alarms for the measure planned to apply Amazon reached the oval office, where Trump He picked up the phone To speak personally with Jeff Bezos and make him give up his intention, despite the fact that the millionaire is no longer the official CEO of the company. According to subsequent statements by Donald Trump, Bezos would have agreed not to move on with that average. “Jeff Bezos was very friendly. He was fantastic. He solved the problem very fast. He did the right thing. He is a good person,” the US president praised, as he collected he Washington Post. The rapid rectification of Jeff Bezos does not surprise anyone, especially taking into account the Millionaire’s efforts to entertain Trump, with millionaire donations For your investiture and dictating the your newspaper editorial line. Amazon reculates. Just after that call between Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos, Amazon defended himself From your social networks ensuring that the information published were only ideas and considerations of a working document of the team that manages the Amazon Haul store in which they are sold low -cost products manufactured in China. That makes your products especially tariff susceptible. However, the company emphasizes that “this was never considered for the main page of Amazon and nothing has been implemented in any of its properties.” Subsequently to the call, the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, reduced the intensity of her words to Jeff Bezos and Amazon, stating that “I will not talk about the president’s relationships with Jeff Bezos.” Relationships that, on the other hand, have been maintained with a certain degree of tension since Trump’s first mandate for the Amazon postal rates. Amazon actions down. After the government’s reaction before the Amazon report, the response of investors It was dropping In 2.3% the shares of the company due to the fear of reprisals against the company by the Trump administration. Once the spirits were calmed, the company’s actions regained confidence returning to its previous market price to continue normally.
