Trump’s Tariffs Shake Global Trade and Domestic Policies
April 27, 2025, 11:20 pm more...
President Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy is sparking a multifaceted international debacle: China lashes out over “selfish” trade wars, Shein hikes prices by 300%, and even Singapore is scrambling for new deals. Meanwhile, IMF–World Bank talks fizzle, and Trump eyes tax cuts powered by tariff revenue, with critics warning of unintended fallout like a fentanyl crisis.

Trump’s Tariff Measures Spark Strong China, JPMorgan, South Korea Reactions
April 20, 2025, 11:20 pm more...
The tariffs imposed by President Trump have ignited a storm of cross-border criticism and unexpected economic forecasts. China’s Ministry of Commerce lambasts the US for “abusing tariffs” and bullying its way through trade, while JPMorgan issues a dire warning that these measures could send tax rates soaring—even if they fend off recessionary threats. Adding further irony, South Korean firms are uncovering loopholes in “Made in Korea” labels to dodge the new costs, highlighting a tangled web of unintended consequences from a policy meant to rein in global trade.

Google faces court‐ordered changes for ad tech monopoly practices
April 17, 2025, 10:20 am more...
U.S. courts and the Department of Justice have ruled that Google engaged in anti‐competitive practices by monopolizing the online advertising technology market. Legal determinations found that Google must change its business practices—or even divest certain assets—in order to restore competition in its ad server and ad exchange sectors. The decisions have significant implications for the digital advertising ecosystem, forcing a reexamination of industry practices and regulatory oversight moving forward.
