Xi Says "Global Order Crumbling Into Disarray" As Trump Turns Up Pressure Campaign On China
President Trump's four-and-a-half-month crusade across the Western Hemisphere, and now into the Middle East, increasingly looks like a massive blitz to acquire - or control - energy assets and maritime chokepoints as part of a broader economic pressure campaign against China, which depends heavily on the Gulf and Venezuelan crude. "Chokepoint after chokepoint: the administration is methodically building a portfolio of assets that they are stacking against China: the Panama Canal, which is the only exit route for oil and gas from the Gulf of Mexico to China; Venezuela and her oil that used to go to China; Kharg ...

From federalreserve.gov|Apr 14, 2026|1 commentIt is great to be here with you today. During my career, I've had the opportunity to work on issues affecting rural communities, especially access to capital. My time at the Federal Reserve has only deepened my appreciation for the opportunities and challenges of rural America, as I've traveled over the past several years to rural communities.

From bankofengland.co.uk|Apr 14, 2026Thank you for inviting me to speak today. I am going to use my time to reflect on central bank independence and to point to where I believe the concept is incomplete and hence more challenged. I will use the term CBI hereon. Modern CBI emerged out of the high inflation era of the 1970s. This does not mean that the concept originated then, it has a much longer history. But in its modern form the 1970s was the experience that prompted change. I will use the Bank of England as a brief case study to illustrate the antecedents to the change. The first stop is 1802, when Henry Thornton wrote “An Enquiry into the Nature and Effects of the Paper Credit of Great Britain” BoE Gov. Bailey: financial stability policy risks becoming pro-cyclical. BOE GOV. BAILEY: FINANCIAL STABILITY IS MORE EXPOSED TO POLITICAL AND PRIVATE PRESSURE. ...
