China wants to keep its trade surplus intact, while Donald Trump wants to turn the US trade deficit into a surplus. Neither power wants to be the world’s consumer of last resort.
China’s ‘two sessions’: What did we learn about the Chinese economy?
With China’s large trade surplus likely to remain intact and the Trump administration aiming to turn the US trade deficit into a surplus, the world is facing a ‘clash of mercantilisms’.

Trump is breathing life back into the Monroe Doctrine to build an international order based on regional spheres of influence. Is it rational? The data say yes. Here’s my piece for Chatham House…
The economics of the new Monroe Doctrine
President Trump’s actions seem to indicate a hemispheric US foreign policy emerging. There is a bleak logic behind that approach.

Donald Trump's preoccupation with China may prevent the US from using Russia's economic challenges as leverage in negotiations on Ukraine, writes our Senior Research Fellow @davidlubin.bsky.social

➡️Read his latest expert comment here: www.chathamhouse.org/2025/01/russ...
Russia’s economic dilemmas give Trump important leverage in negotiations on Ukraine. But will he use it?
Putin’s government considers inflation an existential threat. But Trump’s preoccupation with China may prevent the US exploiting Russian weakness.

🧵 (1/2) As the US presidential inauguration approaches, GEF Director Creon Butler considers what we may expect from Trump's economic policy in the short- and long-term.

➡️ Read our latest expert comment here: www.chathamhouse.org/2025/01/bigg...
The biggest economic risk from Donald Trump’s presidency is a loss of confidence in US governance
Trump’s economic policies may prove surprisingly benign in the short term. But steps that undermine domestic US institutions and international alliances would do serious and lasting damage.
