Human Events: ROB THOMSON: Japan just exposed America’s real weakness—our trillions in debt
The U.S. faces potential leverage challenges in trade negotiations as Japan hints at using its $1.13 trillion in U.S. Treasury holdings as a bargaining chip. This threat highlights America's significant debt levels, exacerbated by the previous administration's fiscal policies, leaving the current government vulnerable.
With a national debt of $36 trillion and rising interest payments, any move by Japan or other countries to sell off U.S. bonds could lead to increased interest rates, compounding the financial burden on the U.S. and impacting future negotiations.
Forbes: Fed Interest Rate Decision Out Today—Why This Meeting Is Unlikely To Yield A Cut
The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain interest rates at 4.25% to 4.5% during its upcoming meeting, despite pressure from President Trump to lower them. Economists from major investment banks predict no change, with a press conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to follow the decision.
Trump has criticized Powell, calling him a "major loser" and suggesting he could be fired, although Powell's position appears secure until 2026. The Fed's decisions are influenced by inflation and employment levels, with expectations for potential rate cuts later this year.
GB News: 'Betraying British workers!' Labour's Jonathan Reynolds faces BRUTAL questioning on UK-India trade deal amid 'two-tier' claims
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds defended the UK-India trade deal against accusations of creating a "two-tier tax system" that could disadvantage British workers. The deal, touted as the most significant since Brexit, aims to boost UK GDP by £4.8 billion annually and increase wages by £2.2 billion in the long run.
Reynolds clarified that Indian nationals temporarily working in the UK would not pay National Insurance for three years, but emphasized that this arrangement is similar to existing agreements with around 50 other countries. The deal is expected to enhance trade by £25.5 billion and reduce tariffs on various British goods, including whisky and cars.
