As President Donald Trump plunges the United States into another reckless trade war—this time with neighboring Canada, one of its largest trading partners, and a NATO ally—the irony is hard to miss. Despite being the main architect and beneficiary of the multilateral trading system since 1945, the US under Trump has recast itself—at least rhetorically—as the victim of an allegedly unfair economic order.
US President Donald Trump has once again published a map on which the American flag covers not only the United States but also many other countries, including Canada, Cuba, Greenland and Mexico.
NEW YORK—US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced the launch of a high-stakes economic operation (‘Economic D-Day’): the US has threatened to tighten the noose around Iran by imposing sanctions on countries that continue to trade with it.
NEW YORK — In a county in northern Virginia, one family’s electricity bill has doubled. A few miles away, a windowless building the size of a shopping mall hums all night long—yet another AI data center that consumes more electricity than the city next to which it is built.
Four and a half years after Russia’s unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there is no end in sight to the conflict. What initially appeared to be a “special operation” that was supposed to end in a matter of days (or, at most, weeks) has turned into a seemingly endless and grueling war.
Are we really seeing the first signs of panic in U.S. President Donald Trump’s Treasury Department? The United States is the world’s largest debtor (by a wide margin), and the steady rise in global long-term interest rates—which I’ve long written about as inevitable—is beginning to cause it real pain.
Adidas has made a major entrance into the Moldovan sports retail market. At the end of August, a new franchise store for the brand—operating as a concept store—will open at the Grand Hall shopping center. How does it differ from the Adidas Factory Outlet already operating at Port Mall? Why was Grand Hall chosen for the project? And to what extent does the brand’s local partner retain its autonomy? Logos Press spoke with Eugeniu Antoci, director of the Adidas chain in Moldova, to find out.
In July, China announced the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO). This platform brought together 38 countries to collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) and reduce AI inequality by supporting innovation and the adoption of this technology in developing countries. The emergence of WAICO was a turning point, but not the one the world needs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Few could have predicted what consequences China’s accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001 would have for the United States. By contributing to the devastation of the U.S. manufacturing sector and the loss of jobs in that industry, China’s integration into the global economy helped pave the way for the right-wing economic populism that became the driving force behind Donald Trump’s political rise.
PARIS—Soon after it became clear that more than 70,000 Moroccans were attempting to cross into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta—many by swimming across the narrow stretch of water separating it from Morocco—22 European Union member states called on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to convene an emergency meeting of the bloc’s interior ministers. But before the meeting could even take place, Italy announced that it was temporarily suspending visa-free travel from Spain and reintroducing border controls.
The first “China shock” followed China’s entry into the global trading system, when the mobilization of its vast pool of cheap labor, combined with large-scale foreign investment, led to a dramatic shift of global manufacturing capacity to that country.
TEL AVIV — In the past, international criminal tribunals were responsible for bringing defeated leaders to justice, such as Serbian President Slobodan Milošević and Liberian President Charles Taylor.
The artificial intelligence (AI) race between the U.S. and China is accelerating at a dizzying pace. Time and again, the U.S. seems to pull ahead, but China quickly closes the gap.
In 2023, U.S. President Joe Biden ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to submit evidence of Russia’s war crimes to the International Criminal Court with the aim of bringing charges against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The key question of our time is no longer whether AI will change our world. It has already changed it. What the world needs now is a moral compass for this technology.
Well, here he goes again. U.S. President Donald Trump raises and lowers tariffs as he pleases, violating international agreements that he himself signed and almost certainly breaking federal laws.
A quarter of a century ago, the market capitalization of each of the five largest banks in the EU exceeded that of the largest U.S. bank.
PARIS—For many years, Europe and China have embodied competing models of development and energy transition. Europe has emphasized markets, common rules, and multilateral organizations, while China has focused on industrial policy, infrastructure investment, and manufacturing. Europe developed regulations that often became global benchmarks (the “Brussels effect”). Meanwhile, China built factories.
From June 20 to 28, a powerful heat wave swept across Europe, creating conditions that led to the wildfires currently raging across vast areas of France and Spain.
Much has already been said about the risks to the armed forces and national security posed by artificial intelligence (AI). But few people pay attention to the threats to culture and the economy posed by large language models (LLMs) trained on a small number of languages and owned by a handful of transnational companies.
