CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

Cui Tianyi: Claude Mods and DeepSeek Harness Reach the Same Goal via Different Paths

From Beating AI Express (Dongcha Insight), following the launch of Claude Mods, Cui Tianyi, head of the DeepSeek Harness team, noted that the approaches of the two platforms are converging. In Claude Code, Mods are essentially plugins; DeepSeek Harness, by contrast, built its entire Agent Harness on a plugin mechanism from the outset. The core difference lies in the scope of openness: Claude Code currently only exposes partial capabilities as Mods, while DeepSeek Harness has built all components—including models, tools, Skills, sessions, sandboxes, file systems, Agent Loops, orchestration, and UI—into plugins that can be freely replaced, combined, and extended. The DeepSeek Harness official team dubs this architecture "Everything is a Plugin". DeepSeek Harness’s Creator Mode also allows Agents to directly inspect the current runtime, write plugins on the fly, and save them, enabling modifications to the UI, adjustments to Agent Loops, addition of tools, and even switching of orchestration methods. Cui Tianyi joked that while this was previously called "Plugin Engineering", it might now also be referred to as "Mod Engineering".
