CNN  —  It’s a sign of these extraordinary times that even the Kremlin’s old propagandists are scrambling to change their tune. Across state-controlled Russian media, disparaging references to “the collective West” and “Anglo-Saxons” – thinly-veiled diplomatic code for US-led states – have been quietly dropped. Instead, it’s just what the Kremlin calls “the old world” of Europe, without its US partner, being singled out for criticism.

Washington CNN  —  When President Donald Trump declared in the House Chamber this week that executives at the nation’s top automakers were “so excited” about their prospects amid his new tariff regime, it did not entirely reflect the conversation he’d held with them earlier that day. Ford Motors, GM and Stellantis argued on that call that the new 25% tariffs the president applied on Canada and Mexico earlier this week could disadvantage their American-based businesses in favor of foreign carmakers — appealing directly to Trump for a reprieve, administration officials said. The message seemed to break through. A day later,…

Canada has imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs against U.S. goods. The discussion, which lasted 50 minutes on Wednesday, was a “colorful call” but also “very substantive,” Trudeau said Thursday, according to…

CNN  —  President Donald Trump’s tariffs have been met with alarm and concern about how steep import taxes against the United States’ three biggest trading partners not only could harm the economy in the immediate term but also could set off a devastating trade war. To be fair, the broad-based tariff actions are only a few dozen hours old, and their eventual outcome remains unwritten. Trump, when addressing Congress on Tuesday night, acknowledged they may cause “a little disturbance,” but the end game in his mind is simple: “Tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs, they’re about protecting the…
