Polar opposite understandings of the Sino-Indo prisoner’s dilemma lie at the core of their calculations. Trump announced on Monday that he was shortening his 50-day deadline to Putin for a ceasefire in Ukraine to “about 10 or 12 days from today”, thus meaning that he plans to impose up to 100% tariffs […]
This outcome places the US on the path of restoring its unipolar hegemony via sequential lopsided trade deals as it likely sets its sights on the Americas next before finally taking on Asia. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to a framework deal with the US whereby the EU will […]
Financing North African regimes is a convenient way to get rid of annoying migrants. The number of migrants who entered the EU has decreased significantly compared to the previous year. The drop was about 38 percent compared to the figures for the first quarter of the previous year. It turned […]
