Oil set for third straight weekly drop on tariff fears
"Downside pressure has stemmed from the news flow around tariffs, with concerns over a potential trade war fuelling fears of weakening oil demand," analysts at BMI said in a note on Friday. Over the weekend, Trump announced a 10% tariff on Chinese imports as part of a broad plan to improve the U.S. trade balance but suspended plans to impose steep tariffs on Mexico and Canada. "This has eclipsed US President Trump's February 4 executive order reimposing his maximum pressure campaign on Iran, including a commitment to drive the country's oil exports down to zero, from above 1.5 million barrels per day currently," BMI analysts said.

Trump administration plans to slash all but a fraction of USAID jobs, officials say
The Trump administration presented a plan Thursday to dramatically cut staffing worldwide for U.S. aid projects as part of its dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, leaving fewer than 300 workers out of thousands. Late Thursday, federal workers associations filed suit asking a federal court to stop the shutdown, arguing that President Donald Trump lacks the authority to shut down an agency enshrined in congressional legislation. Two current USAID employees and one former senior USAID official told The Associated Press of the administration's plan, presented to remaining senior officials of the agency Thursday.
