🟡 Introducing The CEO Signal — a new show from Semafor, hosted by Penny Pritzker, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, and @Edgecliffe, Semafor’s CEO Editor. Building on the CEO Signal newsletter, the briefing read by leading chief executives worldwide, the show brings that perspective into candid conversations with global CEOs — focused on the moments of judgment that define leadership: how they interpret the forces shaping their industries, weigh difficult choices, and make decisions when the stakes are high. The first episode features Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol, on leading one of the most closely watched turnarounds in business today. Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=N8Majs…

.@maxwelltani: Is there any element of Trump's media critique that you think is legitimate? Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner: "Totally. We are talking about trust in media, and I think dealing with Trump is a good example ... We need a kind of self-critical reflection of what we did wrong, why we got it wrong so often..."

"I think that the aftermath of the tariffs has been nowhere near as bad as people predicted. In fact, the way it's played out has been a lot closer to how I predicted," @SteveMiran tells @lizrhoffman. "The burden of proof in this case, I think, is on the data, and I think that the world has been slowly coming closer to my position on tariffs."

"If we miss this opportunity, Syria is gone," Minister of Economy and Industry Mohammad Nidal al-Shaar tells @prashantrao. "It will be diced and sliced, and we are cognizant of that." "Please give us the time. We are emerging from scratch, from ruins, from wreckage."

"I think we should still be worried about inflation," Goldman Sachs President John Waldron tells @lizrhoffman. "I do think that what's going on is companies are sacrificing margin." "Either tariffs come down, which is probably not likely, or you're going to start to see people increasing prices because I think that is the only way you can maintain profitability."
