Europe has stood firm with #Ukraine and #Zelenski after he was ambushed by #Trump and #Vance in the #USA yesterday. That is no way to treat a friend and ally and should send a cold jolt to #Europe and Asian allies to be ready to create their own defence.

Have you considered how US jobs data might impact you? Listen to the latest information to consider how you can position yourself, and your business, for success in 2025. Whether you’re navigating supply chains, eyeing the US market for opportunities, or adapting to rising borrowing costs:
