In a stark warning delivered during a live press briefing, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva outlined a troubling fiscal outlook for the global economy. As governments face the dual challenge of slowing growth and rising geopolitical tensions , one issue looms large: a surge in global public debt . 🔺 U.S. Tariffs as a Catalyst for Fiscal Stress Georgieva pointed directly to new, steep tariffs imposed by the United States as a key driver of financial strain. These tariffs — aimed largely at strategic sectors and trading partners — are expected to disrupt global trade flows , raise costs for import-dependent economies, and trigger retaliatory measures. Such disruptions, she explained, will reduce economic efficiency and weigh heavily on developing economies already grappling with debt servicing burdens. The IMF projects that global public debt will reach nearly 100% of GDP by 2030 , a level last seen during the peak of pandemic-era emergency spending. “This is not j...

Vance issued a stark warning on Wednesday, stating that the United States is prepared to walk away from negotiations to end the war in Ukraine if both sides do not accept a peace deal that includes territorial concessions.

His remarks are likely to draw sharp reactions from Kyiv, where Presi...

The states are asking the U.S. Court of International Trade in Washingto...

  During a recent segment on Jesse Watters Primetime , White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back at critics over the leaked Signal group chat controversy. "There’s nothing Democrats are better at than spinning a sensationalist story out of basic facts," she asserted, dismissing claims that the administration mishandled its internal communications. Leavitt emphasized that, despite lingering questions about the group chat leak, the Trump administration remains fully committed and is moving "full speed ahead" with its agenda. She argued that the discussions in question have been taken out of context and that the opposition’s narrative is more about creating a media spectacle than addressing substantive policy issues.

"The focus should be on what we’re accomplishing f...
