The impact of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on sports could be significant, with car manufacturer Ineos Automotive facing 25% tariffs on vehicles exported to the US. This could affect businesses that invest or sponsor sports events, such as Hyundai Group and Fifa, which may reassess their deals. Sports teams and athletes sponsored by sportswear brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma may also be affected, but experts say the impact should be limited due to consumers being used to premium prices in sports retail. The tariffs could also affect the atmosphere at sports events hosted by the US, such as the Ryder Cup and 2026 World Cup.

World leaders have criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose new tariffs on all goods entering the US as a "major blow" to the world economy. The European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said it will cause "uncertainty spiral" and "dire consequences for millions of people around the globe". Several countries, including China, have expressed their opposition to the move and warned they will take countermeasures against the US. Other countries affected by the tariffs include Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, and others.

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has sparked outrage after vowing to continue fighting for inclusion in women's sports despite Donald Trump’s ban on transgender athletes competing in women's sports. Trump signed an executive order in February, citing Title IX, which only allows biological females to compete. Thomas, a biological male who won a national swimming title in 2022, has promised to "keep fighting" to overturn the ruling and bring trans athletes back into women's sports.

In Florida special elections, Republicans Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis are projected to win races for Florida's 1st and 6th Congressional Districts.
