Chaos and strife from trump https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/15/honeymoon-is-over-trump-ukraine-war-tariffs Boomeranging US tariffs – which are to American prosperity what the Titanic was to ocean travel – are the tip of the unintended consequences iceberg. Defiant foreign retaliation has brought stock market crashes and inflation fears – the exact opposite of what Trump promised voters. Trump won a mandate to make America great again, not greater – at least, not territorially. After his threats to invade Canada, loyal subjects of King Charles III are up in arms, booing the Stars and Stripes, boycotting US goods and retaliating with their own tariffs. Single-handedly, Trump has revived the fortunes of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party. Under the new “elbows up” leadership of the former Bank of England chief Mark Carney, it has a good chance of winning this year’s election on an anti-Trump platform. That was not the plan.

not fought a war in 30 or 40 years”? These are despicable people, lacking even the morality of the hoodlum – and now they run the country we have regarded as our closest friend since the Edwardian age. Given all that, of course British politics should be contemplating a radical new direction, whether that means an economy rewired for rearmament or a rapprochement with the European Union, given that the world of the Brexit vote of 2016 has vanished and to stand apart from our nearest neighbours is now not only stupid but dangerous. When the planet’s most powerful country has become a mafia state, you do whatever it takes.

Behold Donald Corleone, the US president who behaves like a mafia boss https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/07/donald-trump-america-mafia-state But without the principles. Of course, one hesitates to make the comparison, not least because Donald Trump would like it. And because the Godfather is an archetype of strength and macho glamour while Trump is weak, constantly handing gifts to America’s enemies and getting nothing in return. But when the world is changing so fast – when a nation that has been a friend for more than a century turns into a foe in a matter of weeks – it helps to have a guide. My colleague Luke Harding clarified the nature of Vladimir Putin’s Russia when he branded it the Mafia State. Now we need to attach the same label to the US under Putin’s most devoted admirer.

Markets bet on a trump recession https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/03/10/trump-tariffs-markets-live-latest-news-pound-euro-ftse-100/ warned the US economy faces ‘a period of transition’ Credit: AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana Bond market traders are ramping up bets on a US recession amid fears Donald Trump’s tariff trade war will hammer American growth. The yield on two-year US Treasury bonds slipped back below 4pc in Asian trading hours overnight after the US president said on Sunday that the world’s largest economy faces “a period of transition.” The comments echoed words used by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday, who has talked about his desire for falling US bond yields - a benchmark for government borrowing costs. The returns offered to investors in the short-dated bond have dropped sharply since mid-February amid the US president’s tariff war against allies and China. Traders have piled into the safe-haven asset amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will have to cut interest rates to support the economy. “Recession risk is definitely higher because of the sequence of Trump’s policies – tariffs first, tax cuts later,” said Tracy Chen, a portfolio manager at Brandywine Global Investment Management told Bloomberg. The benchmark 10-year yield fell three basis points to 4.27pc. The move lower in US bond yields is in sharp contrast to Europe, where returns have surged after Germany announced its plans for a €500bn fund to invest in defence and infrastructure, ripping up the fiscal rules of the largest economy on the Continent. “Just a couple of weeks ago we were getting questions about whether we think the US economy’s re-accelerating —- and now all of a sudden the R word is being brought up repeatedly,” said Gennadiy Goldberg, head of US
