🇩🇪 GERMANY
🔴 Germany Sees Zero Growth in 2025

🔸 Berlin slashes forecast: Trump’s tariffs are “hitting Germany harder” than others.
🔸 Exports to US threatened by 25% car & metal tariffs, plus 10% blanket duties.
🔸 Germany shrank 0.3% in 2023, 0.2% in 2024—now stagnating or facing mild recession.
🔸 Industry also squeezed by fierce Chinese competition and Russia’s disruptions.

Weird to think there may be truth to the fact that a sitting US President is lying about trade negotiations, and the President of China is instead the voice of reason and truth. China has no reason to lie about not talking to the US President. Conversely, the US President has a vested interest in suggesting we are in talks with China to save his haphazard economic policies. #trumptariffs

Sharpe Way No. 601! Is Trump's Tariff Pause a Failure or 4D Chess? 🤔📉♟️

In this open discussion, we dive deep into President Donald Trump's unexpected 90-day tariff pause and what it really means. Was this an act of economic retreat, a sign of weakness—or was it part of a larger strategic negotiation tactic designed to gain leverage on the global stage?

The recession is not coming, it is already here ;

“ Southwest Airlines (LUV) CEO Bob Jordan told Bloomberg that demand has cratered in recent months, with domestic leisure travel dropping more than he’s ever seen besides the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Quartz · The recession has already come for airlines, Southwest CEO saysBy Kevin Ryan

One of our daughters tells me that her workplace is "doing a whole lot of internal shuffling" to avoid layoffs. They get a lot of their materials from China.

A dear friend tells me that at her workplace yesterday, 40 percent of the staff was let go. It's a mail-order catalog. You guessed the problem. She's the only copywriter, now.

Tariffs don't hurt the countries they're levied against. They hurt the people of the country imposing them.

🇨🇭 SWITZERLAND | 🇨🇳 CHINA
🔴 Tariffs Push China & Switzerland Closer

🔸 China & Switzerland deepen ties: FMs Cassis & Wang Yi met in Beijing on April 24.
🔸 Talks to expand the 2014 free trade deal will speed up.
🔸 New deal seen as a response to US tariffs & global shifts.
🔸 Despite differences, China remains key for Swiss trade & science.

The fog of the US-China #TradeWar thickens. On Thursday in Beijing, both the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said currently there are no ongoing trade talks between China and the United States.

The Ministry of Commerce spokesperson was unequivocal:
“I would like to emphasize that currently there are no ongoing economic or trade negotiations between China and the United States. Any claims about progress in U.S.-China economic and trade talks are mere speculation and lack factual basis.” #TrumpTariffs #Tariffs #trade #TradeDeal #RepublicansOwnThis

Once again, #RickWilson of #LincolnSquare FTW:

"Let’s say it out loud, like adults: Donald Trump’s trade and foreign policy isn't policy at all — it's a long, flatulent brainfart in a hypersonic wind tunnel of stupidity. It is the ideological equivalent of eating a Tide Pod for breakfast and declaring war on your toaster."
