#USA #DonaldTrump #tariffs - Trump downplays recession fears as business leaders sound alarm • FRANCE 24 English

10 March 2025

President Donald Trump says the US economy is “in transition” as his vacillating tariff policies and government downsizing spread chaos and confusion along manufacturing supply chains.

Canada faces a trade war not just with the US but with China as well, and Greenlanders consider their territory's mineral wealth as its strategic importance grows.  Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/B0Jj.y

#Ukraine #Russia #Tariffs - “Gratitude” expressed, “apology” received, Ukraine back at the table • FRANCE 24 English

7 March 2025

This week, the US tightened the screws on Ukraine, pausing military aid until Kyiv shows more willingness to negotiate—starting with handing over half its rare earth resources to America. Moscow welcomed the shift, calling it “aligned with the Kremlin’s vision,” while Ukraine scrambled to smooth things over with a letter to Trump.  

 Trump also kicked off the biggest protectionist move since 1930, slapping heavy tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Markets tanked, and The Wall Street Journal called it “the dumbest tariff war in history.” 

By week’s end, signs of a rollback emerged, and Justin Trudeau hit back with his own “Dear Donald” letter.  In Turkey, a major breakthrough: the PKK declared a ceasefire after its jailed leader called for disarmament, signaling an end to a four-decade conflict that claimed over 40,000 lives. 

A rare good news story—one that could also extend Erdogan’s rule.

6 March 2025

The Trump administration will be hosting the first-ever crypto summit at the White House on Friday, March 7, where President Trump is expected to lay out his plans for the future of a US strategic crypto reserve.

Trump announced via a social media post that the new strategic crypto reserve will be comprised of cryptocurrencies ethereum (ETH-USD), Solana (SOL-USD), XRP (XRP-USD), cardano (ADA-USD), and bitcoin (BTC-USD).

Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, joins Morning Brief host Seana Smith and weighs in on the prospect of the US investing in a crypto reserve.

"To the extent that crypto is in widespread use, it's almost entirely for criminal activities, money laundering, extortion payments," Krugman states, going on to add: "And it's true that people have bought crypto and driven the prices way up. But you ask, well... why are we investing in something where it's still not at all clear what the point is? And what does it even mean to have a crypto reserve? It's not like a reserve of oil that you can use..."

Also catch Paul Krugman comment on the "destructive" nature of President Trump's tariffs that he is planning to levy against Canada and Mexico

It’s an extreme trade policy that he wants to use to generate revenue to cut taxes. But how would they work? WSJ explains how tariffs work and what Trump’s proposals would do.
