The EU's trade enforcer Denis Redonnet is now talking trade diversion in the European Parliament.
"In some cases e.g. when it comes to China and Chinese imports, there is clearly between 2022 to 25 baseline effects that explain some of the very significant shifts in the data."

The one thing that isn't clear (for a simpleton like me at least) is in theory these US tariffs are supposed to unleash a huge onshoring of manufacturing, which may well happen...
OR, manufacturers think: it's hard to move factories around. Let's just wait until the next election.
Ergo, pain.

If you’re looking for a possible silver lining (for global emissions at least), China is about to sell a hell of a lot more clean tech to emerging markets.

The look of disbelief on the faces of the Question Time panel when Gary Stevenson was arguing for a wealth tax and pointed out that they were all £20,000 richer than before covid. In fact, the figure is well over £50,000 as average house prices alone increased by £51,000 in the period! #BBCQT

This article is exhibit number one of the la-la land Eurocrats and Northern / 'frugal' member states live in. *Of course* Italy, Spain and France won't take more debt to build up their defence -- why would they? There's a buffer zone of many countries between them and Russia. Classic free-riding! 1/
Southern European states are rebuffing a European Commission plan to turbocharge defense spending with cheap loans, fearing it would add to their already heavy debt burdens.
Southern Europe rebuffs von der Leyen’s debt-based defense plan
France, Italy and Spain are seeking to boost military spending based on grants rather than loans to avoid increasing their debt loads.

The continued threat by Musk that he has the ability to disable Starlink will end up costing SpaceX millions in cancelled and lost future contracts.
SpaceX, much like Tesla, needs to consider the cost/benefit of continuing to be associated with Musk.
