Trump wages war with tariff weaponry

Juan Pedro Marín Arrese | The sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China do not stem out of protectionism. In Trump’s mind they simply amount to massive destruction weapons aimed at waging wars without casualties. He aims to submit and bully every nation on earth be it a friend or a foe. For all we know that difference doesn’t really matter. The longstanding close alliance between the US and its…

Global economy bracing for Trumpworld

Alicia Gª Herrero (Natixis) | On the eve of Donald Trump’s election win in November, the world economy was already under stress with a slowing Europe, a grinding war in Ukraine and a stagnant Chinese economy. Yet there was hope that as central banks started to bring high inflation under control, lower interest rates would buoy economic activity and the world economy in 2025. But Trump’s victory is taking the…

Trump uses fentanyl threat to justify raising tariffs 10% on products from China, and 25% on those from Mexico and Canada

Banca March: Trump has offered new clues on tariffs: he promises to increase them by 10% on all goods imported from China, and by 25% on products from Mexico and Canada. The main rationale for the tariff hike centres on combating the threat posed by fentanyl. In the case of China, the future president accused the country of not taking sufficient measures to stop the flow of illicit drugs crossing…

Who’s Afraid of Donald Trump?

Juan Pedro Marín-Arrese | You shouldn’t be too concerned about Donald Trump’s impressive electoral performance unless you rank among undocumented immigrants within the U.S. borders. Even so, despite his upbeat rhetoric, Trump proved less effective in enforcing deportation orders during his previous term than Obama—only a few thousand compared to nearly one million per year under his Democratic counterpart. Foreign observers are often bewildered by the broad public support Trump…

Why Trump’s Challenges To Democracy Will Be A Big Problem For Biden

The attack on the Capitol may have threatened the lives of federal legislators and Capitol police officers, but the most it achieved was to interrupt, briefly, a ministerial procedure. But the question of real, lasting – and legal – accountability will fall to Biden, and his nominee for attorney general, Merrick Garland. They will decide whether to continue existing investigations and potentially start new ones.

History Will Tell If The Coronavirus Is To Trump What Hurricane Katrina Was To George W. Bush’s Legacy

Regina Borromeo (Robeco ) | Since the summer, our view has been that voting momentum will follow the path of the pandemic and the economic recovery. Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic has been compared to George W. Bush’s mishandling of the disaster response to Hurricane Katrina, which coincided with a fall in the President’s polling and approval ratings. National polls have seen Biden extend his lead to over 10% recently, a larger spread compared to 2016 when Hilary Clinton ran against Trump.

President Trump And His Wife Have Tested Positive For COVID-19… Election Uncertainty Ramps Up

The symbolism of President Trump testing positive for coronavirus will not be lost on market participants and economists.

Trump And Biden Clash In Chaotic Debate – Experts React On The Court, Race And Election Integrity

The Conversation | President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden took part in a presidential debate Sept. 29 that exemplified the lack of civility in American politics. The president frequently interrupted and spoke over his challenger, Biden told Trump to “shut up,” and few issues were discussed in enough depth to provide much information to undecided voters. We asked three scholars to discuss themes brought up by moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News, who struggled throughout the debate to keep control.
