David Brancaccio: 今天美国对金属征收关税，但英国获得豁免。白宫触发了钢铁和铝进口关税的翻倍，税率现在是50%。英国是唯一获得豁免的贸易伙伴。 Leanna Byrne: 英国似乎暂时避免了关税，这基于美国和英国在5月份签署的双边协议，该协议将取消特定行业的关税。但这并非最终协议，英国钢铁制造商仍面临关税。如果协议失败，英国产品仍可能面临50%的关税。英国企业对关税的不确定性感到沮丧，这使得计划变得困难。欧盟并未幸免于关税，贸易紧张局势依然很高，欧盟正准备采取报复措施。 Susan Schmidt: 由于关税带来的不确定性，CEO们正在观望，这影响了就业。公司在等待局势明确，因此不愿增加员工。预计这种情况会持续，直到市场更加确定。

Our BBC colleague Leanna Byrne joins us to explain. Also on the program: federal funding cuts hit the arts. We check in with the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music after the nonprofit lost its NEA grant.
