The committee was originally established in 1982 under President Ronald Reagan, and over the years, it became a platform for key figures in the arts, humanities, and academic fields to engage with policymakers. <\/p>\n<p>Trump's stance on the PCAH is not new. During his first term, he disbanded the committee, citing concerns about its fiscal responsibility and arguing that it was \u201cnot a responsible way to spend American tax dollars\u201d \u2013 after nearly all its members resigned in protest of Trump\u2019s response to the white nationalist rally and deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Following the 2017 dissolution, the committee was re-established by Joe Biden in 2022, and Biden appointed 31 members to the PCAH in 2023, including high-profile figures like <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2025//01//09//lady-gaga-becomes-third-artist-to-have-multiple-1-hits-in-three-different-decades/">Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/a>, George Clooney, Jon Batiste, and Shonda Rhimes. Other appointees included museum curators, academics, and leaders from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Smithsonian.\u00a0It operated with a relatively modest annual budget, which in 2024 was around $335,000, and met only six times since Biden re-established it, The New York Times said.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Israel, a former Democratic US representative and one of Biden\u2019s appointees, expressed his disappointment at the dissolution. \u201cNot only did he fire us all, but he disbanded the actual committee,\u201d Israel told The New York Times. \u201cIt suggests a proactive hostility toward the arts and humanities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committee had played an influential role in shaping national cultural policies, with past members including figures like <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2016//01//13//exhibition-traces-of-the-life-of-an-american-icon-frank-sinatra/">Frank Sinatra<\/strong><\/a> and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. It has often served as a bridge between the private, philanthropic sectors and the federal government, aiming to bolster support for arts, humanities, and library services.<\/p>\n<p>While the disbanding of the PCAH has garnered little attention compared to Trump\u2019s other policy reversals, it does reflect ongoing tension over government involvement in the arts. The White House made no formal announcement regarding the dissolution, and at some point the committee\u2019s website was taken offline.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s decision to dismantle the PCAH is part of a broader pattern of reducing or redirecting resources away from cultural institutions. However, his administration has made no moves to dismantle other key cultural agencies like the NEA or the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), though Trump called for their defunding during his first term. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has also expressed support for a major outdoor sculpture park, which he plans to launch by 2026 to celebrate the US\u2019s semiquincentennial. The park would honour a range of cultural figures, including artists, musicians, and actors such as <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2023//03//16//culture-re-view-the-day-billie-holiday-was-released-from-prison/">Billie Holiday<\/strong><\/a>, Miles Davis, and Lauren Bacall.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1738577779,"updatedAt":1738581375,"publishedAt":1738579513,"firstPublishedAt":1738579513,"lastPublishedAt":1738579513,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/02\/49\/60\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_6942a155-3667-5a40-a1e9-80920e419194-9024960.jpg","altText":"U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters next to Air Force One on 2 February 2025.","caption":"U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters next to Air Force One on 2 February 2025.","captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Ben Curtis\/Copyright 2025 The AP.

markets were in turmoil in Asia on Monday as investors were fearful of a gearing up global trade war. US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Saturday to go ahead with his pledged tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. In response, all three nations warned of retaliatory countermeasures.\u00a0\n\nThe White House will officially impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on Chinese imports starting Tuesday. However, Canadian energy imports will face a lower tariff of 10% to prevent a disruptive impact on American gasoline and home-hearing oil prices.

Canadian energy, including oil, natural gas and electricity, will be taxed at a lower 10% rate. \n\nThe Budget Lab at Yale University estimates Trump's tariffs would cost the average American household $1,000 to $1,200 in annual purchasing power. \n\nGregory Daco, chief economist at the tax and consulting firm EY, calculates the tariffs would increase inflation, which was running at a 2.9% annual rate in December, by 0.4 percentage points this year. Daco also projects the U.S. economy, which grew 2.8% last year, would fall by 1.5% this year and 2.1% in 2026 \u201cas higher import costs dampen consumer spending and business investment.\u2019\u2019\n\nThe Penny Ice Creamery in Santa Cruz, California, has had to hike prices of its ice cream, including popular flavours \u201cstrawberry pink peppercorn\u2019\u2019 and \u201cchocolate caramel sea salt,\u2019\u2019 repeatedly in recent years as an inflationary surge increased the cost of its supplies. \n\n\u201cI feel bad about always having to raise prices,\u2019\u2019 co-owner Zach Davis said. \u201cWe were looking forward to inflation coming down, the economy stabilising in 2025 ... Now with the tariffs, we may be back at it again.\u2019\u2019\n\nTrump tariffs, Davis said, threaten to drive up the cost of the mostly made-in-China refrigerators, freezers and blenders he\u2019ll need if Penny Ice Creamery goes ahead with plans to add to its six shops. He still has painful memories of the extra equipment costs the company had to absorb when Trump slapped massive tariffs on China during his first term.\n\nThe new tariffs will also raise the price of a customer favourite \u2014 sprinkles \u2014 which Penny Ice Creamery imports from a company in Whitby, Ontario. Tacking a 25% import tax on even something as small as that can damage a small business like his. \n\n\u201cThe margins are so slim,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cBeing able to offer that add-on can maybe generate an additional 10 cents in profit per scoop. If a tariff wipes that out, that can really be the difference between being profitable and being break-even and even being underwater by the end of the year.\u2019\u2019\n\nIn Asheville, North Carolina, Casey Hite, CEO of Aeroflow Health, expects to take a hit because his company gets more than half its supplies, including breast pumps, from Chinese manufacturers, providing them to American patients through insurance plans. Aeroflow Health gets paid by insurers at pre-negotiated rates, put in place before Trump decided on his tariffs. \n\nHite said the tax on Chinese imports would hit the company\u2019s finances, forcing it either to purchase cheaper and lower-quality products or pass higher costs along via higher health insurance premiums. Those might take two years to materialise, Hite said, but eventually they would hit consumers\u2019 budgets. \n\n\u201cIt will impact the patients,\u201d Hite said. \u201cIn time, patients pay more for the products.\u201d\n\nEven the made-in-USA absorbent incontinence pads Aeroflow Health buys aren\u2019t safe from Trump\u2019s import taxes. They may include pulp from tariff target Canada and plastics and packaging from China, according to the Aeroflow Health, which warns of \u201cturbulences\u201d from the tariffs.\n\n\u201cIs this going to affect our business? You bet it is,\u2019\u2019 said Linda Schlesinger-Wagner, who owns Skinnytees, a women\u2019s apparel company in Birmingham, Michigan, north of Detroit, that imports clothing from China. She said the 10% tax would increase her costs, though she plans to absorb the extra expense instead of passing it along to customers.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t like what\u2019s going on,\u2019\u2019 she said, referring to the broader impact of the tariffs. \u201cAnd I think people are going to be truly shocked at the pricing they\u2019re going to see on the cars, on the lumber, on the clothes, on the food. This is going to be a mess.\u2019\u2019\n\nWilliam Reinsch, a former U.S. trade official now with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that many companies stocked up on imported goods ahead of time to avoid the tariffs. They will be able to draw on their piled-up inventories for weeks or a couple of months, delaying their customers\u2019 pain. \n\nGeorge Carrillo, CEO of the Hispanic Construction Council, an industry advocacy group, said construction companies have been hoarding materials in anticipation of Trump\u2019s actions, but he worries about the possibility of inflation spiking in three to six months.\n\n\u201cOnce that inventory starts to get low, we\u2019re going to start feeling the effects,\u201d Carillo said in a phone interview on Saturday, ahead of the announcement. \u201cDevelopers and general contractors need to keep up with the pace and they\u2019re going to start buying more products and it\u2019s going to be at a higher price point.\u201d\n\nAll that will be exacerbated by an emerging immigration crackdown that is already spooking the construction industry\u2019s labour pool, he said.\n\n\u201cYou put tariffs and you put workforce instability, it\u2019s going to create major delays in projects. It\u2019s going to create an increase in prices because of the lack of availability,\u201d Carrillo said.\n\nThen there are the industries that don't have the luxury of stockpiling, including supermarkets whose farm products will spoil. So the tariff impact will show up on grocery shelves within days. \n\n\u201cYou don\u2019t stockpile avocados,\u2019\u2019 Reinsch said. \u201cYou don\u2019t stockpile cut flowers. You don\u2019t stockpile bananas.\u2019\u2019\n\nIn the tomato trading hub of Nogales, Arizona, produce vendor Rod Sbragia, who followed his father into the business nearly four decades ago, worries that the import levies will force some distribution companies out of business and \u201cwould be detrimental to the American consumer, to the choices they have at the supermarket.\u201d\n\nSbragia voted for Trump in the past three elections and calls himself a \u201cstaunch Republican.\u201d The president, he said, must not have been properly advised on the matter. \n\n\u201cWhen we\u2019re worried about cost to consumers, inflationary pressures and the overall health of our population,\u2019\u2019 he asked, \u201cwhy are we going to make it more difficult to get access to fresh fruits and vegetables?\u201d\n\nAmerican farmers are also likely to get caught in Trump\u2019s trade tussle with Canada, China and Mexico. The president\u2019s supporters in rural America make a tempting target for retaliatory tariffs. That is what happened in Trump\u2019s first term when other countries, notably China, slapped back against the president\u2019s tariffs with levies of their own on things like soybeans and pork. In response, Trump spent billions in taxpayer money to compensate them for lost sales and lower prices.\n\nMany farmers are now counting on the president to come through and protect them from reprisals.\n\n\u201cThe Trump administration provided a safety net,\u201d said former tobacco grower Lee Wicker, deputy director of the North Carolina Growers Association, a collection of 700 farms that lawfully brings in foreign temporary laborers to work the fields through a federal visa programme. Many of the association's farmers \u201ctrust him that he\u2019s going to take care of anybody who\u2019s hurt by the tariffs, and that\u2019s really all that we can ask for.\u201d\n\n","htmlText":"<p>From an ice cream parlour in California to a medical supply business in North Carolina to a T-shirt vendor outside Detroit, U.S. businesses are bracing to take a hit from the taxes President Donald Trump imposed on Saturday on imports from Canada, Mexico and China \u2014 America\u2019s three biggest trading partners.<\/p>\n<p>The levies of 25% on Canadian and Mexican and 10% on Chinese goods will take effect Tuesday.

It\u2019s going to create an increase in prices because of the lack of availability,\u201d Carrillo said.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the industries that don't have the luxury of stockpiling, including supermarkets whose farm products will spoil. So the tariff impact will show up on grocery shelves within days. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t stockpile avocados,\u2019\u2019 Reinsch said. \u201cYou don\u2019t stockpile cut flowers. You don\u2019t stockpile bananas.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In the tomato trading hub of Nogales, Arizona, produce vendor Rod Sbragia, who followed his father into the business nearly four decades ago, worries that the import levies will force some distribution companies out of business and \u201cwould be detrimental to the American consumer, to the choices they have at the supermarket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sbragia voted for Trump in the past three elections and calls himself a \u201cstaunch Republican.\u201d The president, he said, must not have been properly advised on the matter. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we\u2019re worried about cost to consumers, inflationary pressures and the overall health of our population,\u2019\u2019 he asked, \u201cwhy are we going to make it more difficult to get access to fresh fruits and vegetables?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American farmers are also likely to get caught in Trump\u2019s trade tussle with Canada, China and Mexico. The president\u2019s supporters in rural America make a tempting target for retaliatory tariffs. That is what happened in Trump\u2019s first term when other countries, notably China, slapped back against the president\u2019s tariffs with levies of their own on things like soybeans and pork. In response, Trump spent billions in taxpayer money to compensate them for lost sales and lower prices.<\/p>\n<p>Many farmers are now counting on the president to come through and protect them from reprisals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Trump administration provided a safety net,\u201d said former tobacco grower Lee Wicker, deputy director of the North Carolina Growers Association, a collection of 700 farms that lawfully brings in foreign temporary laborers to work the fields through a federal visa programme. Many of the association's farmers \u201ctrust him that he\u2019s going to take care of anybody who\u2019s hurt by the tariffs, and that\u2019s really all that we can ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1738483925,"updatedAt":1738487157,"publishedAt":1738485138,"firstPublishedAt":1738485138,"lastPublishedAt":1738485138,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/02\/32\/12\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_a13bf1f0-e25e-569d-9de2-b9f3b6037fbd-9023212.jpg","altText":"FILE - President Donald Trump speaks during a roundtable discussion on tax cuts for Florida small businesses, in Hialeah, Florida, USA.
