Musk joins Trump in playing legislative arsonist
Global alarms rise as China's critical mineral export curbs take hold
India Challenges US on Auto Tariffs in Toughening Trade Stance
China reacts to Ukraine's raid on Russian bomber bases "It calls on all parties to abide by the 'three principles' for cooling down the situation, namely, no spillover of the battlefield, no escalation of the conflict and no fanning the flames," the spokesperson said........ "China will continue to maintain communication with the international community and play a constructive role in promoting the political settlement of the crisis."

America is the biggest loser in Trump's trade war, OECD says The global economy is slowing. In a sharply downgraded forecast released Tuesday, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warned that President Donald Trump’s volatile yet sweeping tariff policies are inflicting greater damage than expected, with the effects more concentrated in the U.S. than anywhere else. .......... The group now expects annual GDP growth in the U.S. to slow to 1.6% in 2025, down from its earlier projection of 2.2%. That substantial downward revision — over a quarter drop in anticipated growth — underscores just how sharply expectations have deteriorated. ......... The OECD now expects global growth of 2.9% in 2025, but warns that “the slowdown is concentrated in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and China,” the countries most exposed to tariff shocks. ...........

Trump’s trade policy is disproportionately damaging the U.S. economy.

......... The ISM manufacturing imports index just fell to 39.9, its lowest reading since 2009 — a signal of collapsing demand. The S&P 500 is lagging global stocks by more than 12 percentage points year-to-date, its worst relative performance since 1993. ........ Some 83% of U.S. CEOs now expect a recession in the next 12 to 18 months ......... The disruption from Trump’s tariffs could surpass the turbulence of the 2018-19 trade war, with rising costs, diminished investment, and worsening inflation ........ the report paints a vivid picture of U.S. trade wars cascading through the global economy, then boomeranging back onto the U.S. itself. .......... When tariffs rise, their effects don’t hit all at once — they feed through the system. First, importers face higher costs, which get passed along to manufacturers, retailers, and eventually consumers. Businesses facing squeezed margins may delay investment, cut hiring, or raise prices. ........... it’s a slower burn, where uncertainty and higher costs quietly erode economic momentum quarter by quarter.
