Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Peace talks can only be successful if there is a sincere intention to resolve the issues in Ukraine or Iran.

President Trump raises tariff on China to 125%, and a 90-day tariff pause for the 75 countries that want to negotiate with the US.
The US forgot that nations conduct diplomacy for benefits, but imposing tariffs isn't diplomacy. It's extortion...

Trade Wars Lead to Shooting Wars and Depressions

Trade wars were a principal factor in causing the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II. In trade wars, everybody loses.

Looking at historical events, when has such a trade war happened again ?

The other member countries can ask for the US to be expelled from the organizations, if the negotiations don't work - but I don't see the organizations saying anything about negotiations.
Something very strange is happening now when we are in the midst of a historic, and global trade war.

any reaction from the WTO, and WCO ? how do they protect the other organisations' members ?

Lila_In_Athens @lilainathens.bsky.social · Apr 9

The US is a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and World Customs Organisation (WCO), and -as a member-, the US must apply the WTO and WCO practices that don't say that the tariffs imposed on goods are based on their country of origin. This never happened in decades.

2/2 Why ? Bcs the citizens in importers' country must benefit from getting the best products at the cheapest prices.
What will happen in the US ? Well, the US citizens will pay the price for the increased tariff...

1/2 Do the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and World Customs Organisation (WCO) practices say that the tariffs imposed on goods are based on their country of origin ? No
So, the importers must be free to import goods and services from any part of the world.

President Trump: "This is the largest transaction in the history of our country. These countries are calling us up, kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please, sir, make a deal. I'll do anything. I'll do anything, sir.' "Japan is coming here as we speak."
Japan should turn back

"Trump awaits 'call' from China, but aides say deal not likely before 104% tariffs hit"

China censures Trump tariff 'blackmail' as market turmoil eases

The rebuke came after Trump said he would impose an additional 50% duty on U.S. imports from the world's No. 2 economy.

Trump is playing a strange stock market, holding other countries' economies as his own shares. He will let them bottom out and then start buying, only to sell them later at a much higher price.
Think in stock market terms.
