Treasury bonds are traditionally seen as a safe haven in times of economic turmoil, because they offer investors a guaranteed payment backed by the U.S. government. Instead, investors are selling the assets.

Another Rocky Day in Markets: Stocks and Bonds Sink
With the S&P 500 near a bear market, shares in Europe and Asia fell as China and other major U.S. trading partners confronted significantly higher tariffs. Investors also sold U.S. bonds.

Trump’s imperialist shakedown of Panama touches a raw nerve in Latin America
It makes no sense for the president to make enemies of a country ideologically aligned with the US

As Trump continues to blast falsehoods about Panama and the Panama Canal it’s important to understand why he is doing it ?
By pushing falsehoods, the Trump administration has manufactured a crisis that appears more performative than substantive. Thus, the following question arises: is this aggressive and unwarranted stance toward Panama merely a distraction from domestic issues blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/20...

Minimal #factcheck #Panama did not hand over the #PanamaCanal to China. A Chinese company manages 2 of the 5 ports at the entrance to the Canal, as do companies of other nationalities. This contract dates back to 1997 when #US still administered the Canal.

Someone told Trump there is a Canal in Panama and him claiming he is going to take it back it’s known in IR as “mad men” theory
Trump: "Has anybody ever heard of the Panama Canal? ... he just said, 'take it back.' That's a good idea."

Werning research on dollarization couldn’t have been more timely for Argentina’s electoral campaign. A sector, not only in Argentina but in Latam, believe that the way out of Arg’s problems is just taking monetary control away from politicians. They should look towards Brazil not Panama
