The real reason for the U.S.-Argentina bailout American taxpayers are bailing out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. But what does the U.S. get out of it? And can it really fix Argentina’s economy?

I was a guest on NPR’s On Point today discussing the U.S.-Argentina bailout.

Scholar warns of 'weaponizing uncertainty' A year since his election victory, United States President Donald Trump's economic policies are fulfilling his campaign promises but are weaponizing uncertainty, exacerbating global economic divisions...

This is a good summary of my assessment of the Trump economic policies after one year, and what is to come.
There is a consistent thru line to the Trump program which was evident by Nov '24,but that does not make it a coherent policy nor reduces uncertainty.

Rather than worrying about the China Shock 2.0 in developed economies, we should be much more worried about the China Shock 1.0 in low- & middle-income countries, Arvind Subramanian says.
