Opinion: America the Unstable
1/4
> America under Donald Trump is an emerging market. That’s my takeaway from the last few days of tariff chaos and its fallout.
> [..] emerging markets are often characterised by uncertain #economics, corrupt politics, institutions that are too weak to enforce democratic norms, violence and social polarisation.

Trump: "We have a deficit with the EU of $350 billion. And it's gonna disappear fast. And one of the reasons and one of the ways that can disappear easily and quickly is they're gonna have to buy their energy from us."
Excellent breakdown by Faisal Islam, BBC Economics editor.

“an astonishing U-turn”
“10% universal tariff is now riddled with exemptions”
“the "Art of the Repeal". The 4D chess has been replaced by someone playing one dimensional checkers, but unable to tell the difference between opposing pieces”

I'm curious what he is going to say. It might be quite revolutionary. Please reach out if you are also interested in this.

ICYMI:
There's been a lot of commentary this week on the longer term effects of Trump's economic 'policies'.
Although written before his partial pause on some of his imposed tariffs, I stand by my overall conclusions on what Trump's actions are likely to prompt:
A focus on regional trade agreements (and blocs) excluding the USA;
A shift away from the dollar as the global reserve currency; and
a shortening of global supply chains.
