Europe has stood firm with #Ukraine and #Zelenski after he was ambushed by #Trump and #Vance in the #USA yesterday. That is no way to treat a friend and ally and should send a cold jolt to #Europe and Asian allies to be ready to create their own defence.
youtube.com/shorts/3rCAB...
If this is how the USA treats its friends, the world should be worried!
Trump & Vance’ ambush of Ukraine’s President Zelensky was orchestrated and has further eroded trust in the USA to be a trusted partner to its allies around the world.
Countries are right to be worried.

But if you zoom out, disinflation is still in place, and the labour market has been steadily adjustments. Rate cuts in the US could still come later this year, but today’s strong jobs data decreases the likelihood.

Undersea cables in the Baltic Sea are getting cut and this is a big deal. These cables are the backbone of our power and communication systems. When they go down, everything from your internet to national security is at risk. The recent seizure of a Russian ship shows just how real this threat is.
