Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) shares dropped 13% after China's National Film Administration said the country will lower the number of US films allowed to enter its market in response to the escalated tariffs imposed on Beijing by the Trump administration.

General Motors ( GM ) is temporarily laying off about 200 employees at its Factory Zero plant in Detroit, Reuters reported, citing a company statement. GM shares fell 3.6%.
