Martin Wolf channels my views and some complementary ones. Not complimentary to the policy approach of the Trump Administration. Martin is right and as ever says it so well.

Trump’s economic policies have caused chaos globally and he’s happy to use America’s financial might against his enemies – or help his friends. But, when it comes to security, who is this actually helping? @ejbeals.bsky.social is joined by @adamposen.bsky.social to discuss ➡️ linktr.ee/drillpod

It appears that Lisa Cook held off "proving her innocence" because she thought (rightly) she shouldn't have to. To have the courage to do that when the US state is attacking you is pretty darn admirable.

Europe is well positioned to manage financial stability risks arising from the Trump admin’s remaking of the global economic regime, @adamposen.bsky.social says. But Europe can & should rapidly increase its own self-insurance by supporting a global rise in € usage.

Thank you @morgenrothedgar.bsky.social I concur on both Ireland and Europe. We have to try to get more recognition and response. Even in this world, how good/bad things get depends greatly on EU action.

I don't think the breath and significance of what is going on in the US has yet registered in Ireland and many other European countries. I suspect the impact will be greatest in countries with the closest economic and security relationship with the US which puts Ireland towards the top of impacts.

Adam Posen @adamposen.bsky.social · Aug 26

You have to see the whole board. Trump's policies are a regime shift from the US as insurance provider to protection racket, creating The New Economic Geography.

It isn't just about any one tariff or Fed official - the implications are far broader
