  • Good morning from the Financial Times.

  • Today is Wednesday, April 2nd, and this is your FT News Briefing.

  • An American company is trying to take a bite out of TikTok, and it's tariff day here in the U.S.

  • We've got the view from Wall Street.

  • The market just wants certainty.

  • The market has been suffering probably more from the vacillation and uncertainty about tariff policy than it has from the threat of very high tariffs itself.

  • Plus, a Syrian group of first responders is staging a comeback.

  • I'm Mark Filippino, and here's the news you need to start your day.

  • Andreessen Horowitz is in talks to help buy out TikTok's Chinese owner.

  • The bid comes as the Trump administration is trying to force BiteDance to give up control of the popular social media app.

  • If BiteDance doesn't offload TikTok to non-Chinese entities, it will be banned in the U.S. on Saturday.

  • Andreessen Horowitz's potential investment is part of a wider effort that Oracle is putting together,

  • and sources tell the FT the bid is a front-runner.

  • It is finally here.

  • U.S. President Donald Trump is set to announce his tariff plans today,

  • and he's promised this will be a, quote, liberation day that will rebalance global trade.

  • Here to talk about what markets are expecting is the FT's U.S. financial commentator Rob Armstrong.

  • Hi, Rob.

  • Hi.

  • It's great to be back.
