I would say that it may lose its soft power quite quickly (which is
not measurable and does not translate into cash in an obvious way),
but that what's happening is a good thing - maybe Europe
will finally wake up and start working conceptually and
respecting its resources - e.g. scientists and specialists
in various fields who are eager to emigrate to the US.

USD strength?

Stocks rebound on the news Trump looks to be consolidating the trade tariffs onto China while easing off on the rest of the world.

USD needs to wait for the whipsawing in stocks to settle and an overall direction to be established before responding to the implications of a major US stocks correction or a new boost upward.

But there is still some ways to go before everything settles down, still plenty of scope for surprises in the tariff wars and there is more to be revealed of the bigger Trump plan.

Talk now of Trump wanting to relace income taxes with the new tariffs.

"TRUMP WANTS TO REPLACE INCOME TAX WITH TARIFFS—$13K PAY BOOST OR HIGHER PRICES?" ($13K on an income of $100,000).

No matter what, volatility will be high, big money will need to respond to change quickly.

So buckle up for a wild ride ahead in both indices (stocks) and the USD, or park up in gold.

JUST IN - China raises tariffs on U.S. imports to 125%.

Sky is the limit!

Key points here:

• America imported $438.9bn in Chinese goods last year (just over 3% of China’s total gross domestic product (GDP).
• The latest Trump tariffs would cause China’s GDP to drop by as much as 2.4%.
• In 2018, when Trump launched his first trade war against China, Beijing’s official GDP growth figure was 6.6%. It's currently 5.2%.

What I'd like to know is how China's 125% tarrif would effect USA? Does this mean Alibaba, TEMU and Amazon will be affected for American's? I can't find a straight answer so far

USD breaks the high of 2024 and 2023;













The 2 critical problems of the Covid vaccine is firstly the spike protein, being continually reproduced in the cells, is then travelling around the body and being deposited in organs. It is then attacked by the auto-immune system as being foreign, which it is.

The immune response is to destroy the cells containing the spike, that causes the observable inflammation. This process leads to major organ failure.

The second critical problem is the overwhelming of the immune system caused by the above occurring throughout the body leaves it incapable of dealing with routine tasks such as the constant battle with random cancerous cells.
