In-depth conservative coverage of global trade disputes, tariffs, economic sanctions, supply chain rivalries, and Trump’s America First trade agenda challenging the globalist economic order.
Germany accuses Beijing of manipulating the yuan, and the fight exposes a contradiction in China currency goals. Beijing wants the world to trade in yuan and save in yuan at the same time, but a weak currency helps exports while destroying the trust that savings require. China is winning one race and clearly losing the other.
China invested for two decades while Washington looked away. Now Uruguay warns Europe to ratify Mercosur or lose South America to Beijing. A hard look at how Washington, Brussels, and China have approached Latin America, and why America needs a real Latin America strategy before it loses the hemisphere for good, before it is too late.
Germany's auto lobby admits it cannot keep all factories open and proposes selling them to foreign buyers. That means China. Green mandates, expensive energy, and Brussels' failed tariff policy created the German auto crisis. Europe's industrial sovereignty is at stake, and the buyers are already inside the gates.
On July 1, 2026, the U.S. officially refused to renew USMCA. "The United States did not agree to renew the USMCA in its current form," said USTR Jamieson Greer. The trade deficit is Trump's primary concern: 197,000 million dollars with Mexico plus 46,000 million with Canada in 2025, more than double what it was when USMCA took effect.
Canada just opened its doors to Chinese electric vehicles, slashing tariffs from 100% to 6.1%. But this is not about Canada. BYD, Chery, and Geely are rushing in with dealerships — not to sell cars in Canada, but to use it as a springboard to conquer the American auto market. China's global EV invasion is already underway.
The US Iran ceasefire deal is real. Trump announced it at 3:57 AM from France, markets soared, and oil fell 4%. The Strait of Hormuz reopens June 19 under a 60-day MOU. Israel is not on board. Iran and the U.S. describe two very different versions of the same agreement. The next 60 days will tell the real story.
The G7 summit in Evian opens June 15 with Iran, AI, and Ukraine on the table. Trump wants credit for a possible Iran deal. Europe wants AI regulation. The U.S. invested $285,900 million in private AI in 2025, while the entire EU attracted just $8,000 million. Five countries, five agendas, one very tense summit.
Oil prices Iran deal headlines moved markets again on Friday. Brent fell 3.37% to $87.33, WTI fell 3.23% to $84.88, down more than 6% for the week and nearly 20% for the month. Pakistan says a final peace deal text exists. Trump disputes Iranian reports on the terms. Markets are betting on a negotiated outcome.
At SPIEF 2026 in St. Petersburg, Putin warned that any nation can lose access to dollar and euro assets at any moment. Russia and BRICS are building blockchain payment systems to bypass SWIFT. But the BRICS dollar replacement plan faces a major problem: the dollar just hit a 12-year high in global payments.
UK Foreign Secretary Cooper landed in Beijing on June 1, 2026 — carrying burner phones over espionage fears. Yet she went anyway. The UK China reset is underway. Starmer, Macron, Sanchez, Carney — every major Western leader is courting Beijing. Here is what it means for America First and the future of the West.
Brazil's President Lula publicly attacked Trump and Rubio after the US proposed new 25% tariffs on Brazilian goods. Lula called Rubio "anti-Latin American" and Trump "the emperor of the world." Behind the outburst: tariffs, Bolsonaro's sons visiting Washington, and a socialist leader losing his leverage.
China's proposed Brazil-Peru railway is a massive infrastructure project designed to bypass the Panama Canal and secure resources for Beijing. While leftist leaders like Lula ignore national sovereignty, this Belt and Road scheme threatens U.S. security and pristine ecosystems. Discover why this rapidly expands Chinese regional power.
