Trump, whose actions are regularly driven by his (often mistaken) perceptions of weakness in other parties, has decided to have a go at India over its purchases of Russian oil. The fact that so far, India is the only country singled out for this treatment suggests that Trump thinks he is engaging in “Kill the chicken to scare the monkey” behavior, that by punishing India, he can get others to fall into line without implementing additional secondary sanctions. Many experts have pointed out, much like the shock and awe sanctions that the Collective West imposed on Russia, that imposition of…
“The IMF’s maximum credit to Argentina… is projected to reach 1,352% of the country’s quota in 2026. This would be the Fund’s largest exposure in absolute terms in its history.” Before we get to the meat of this story, let’s begin with a wee refresher. On April 11, as readers may recall, Argentina’s faux libertarian President Javier Milei gave a televised address to the nation.

When Jasmin Belanger agreed to a plan to pay $750 in back rent, she had no idea how the decision would haunt her.

Eve here. My rewrite headlines to Voxeu’s work (originally the risks of a new international trade environment) may seem surprising, but even the opening paragraph shows that they are leaving the risks that have been going on for so long as if they were new developments. The reason for presenting this article is that it includes useful analyses such as the concentration of imports of certain high-tech products that are particularly dominant, difficult to exchange, or that give a much more important feel to their role.
