Trump seeks to beef up defense spending: What to keep an eye on President Trump issued several executive orders to reshape and reorganize the US military, which comes as Pete Hegseth was confirmed as the Secretary of the US Department of Defense. What does this all mean for the defense sector and the US government's plans for military spending? The Pentagon's Silicon Valley Office founder Christopher Kirchhoff expects to see "broad increases across the board for both traditional weapons systems and new entrants" as lawmakers are expected to propose an increase in defense spending in the upcoming reconciliation bill. "The risks are mainly political in the sense that there really is broad bipartisan support for transforming the department on a lot of important points that were outlined in the Trump team's vision and Project 2025, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's opening statement — they want to increase lethality, they want to take on hypersonics, they want to make the most of space," The Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future co-author tells Seana Smith and Alexandra Canal.

Trump's orbit is trying to calm markets on tariffs — even if Trump has a different approach New mixed messages this week about President Donald Trump's implementation of tariffs are flummoxing markets and businesses hoping for clarity on the 2.0 version of Trump's trade policy. The GM story has 'a lot of yin and yang' over tariffs, EVs General Motors (GM) reported fiscal fourth quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations on both revenue and profit fronts; despite this news, GM shares are down by over 10% at the time of this interview's posting. Bank of America managing director John Murphy joins Catalyst to discuss his outlook on the automaker following these results. Murphy notes that GM's financials "look pretty good," though investor concerns center around policy uncertainties, including tariffs, EV regulations, and consumer incentives. He points out that while GM benefited from a share buyback in 2024, the current share authorization "is fairly slim," which is also pressuring the stock. Despite these mounting challenges, Murphy believes GM isn't "dismissing" the risks, adding that "ultimately this could potentially [be] very positive for them" if California's EV mandates are eliminated or if Trump's proposed tariffs prove less severe than forecasted. "There's a lot of yin and yang to this, positive and negative, that you really need to take into account," he tells Yahoo Finance.
