Chinese FM Wang Yi in Moscow: Friends forever, never enemies. Putin hosts Wang Yi today, while Lavrov lays groundwork for a Russia-China summit set for May, Reuters. 1/
China solidifies its alliance with Russia, yet it quietly expands influence elsewhere.

Bloomberg: Japan and South Korea have reopened free-trade talks with China after a decade-long pause. 2/ Image
In my view, the U.S. is risking to let China build coalitions with the countries the U.S. is pushing away. Trump tariffs create an opportunity for Beijing to engage historical U.S. allies. 3/

Ursula von der Leyen defies Trump: Many Europeans feel disheartened by the new U.S. tariffs. Europe didn’t start this. But we have what we need — the biggest single market, the leverage to negotiate, the means to strike back. We’ll defend our interests. 1/
Ursula von der Leyen: The U.S. has announced 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, cars, and parts. They plan to extend duties to semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and timber. On April 2, 2025, we expect further tariffs on almost all goods, affecting many countries worldwide. 2/
Ursula von der Leyen: In response to U.S. tariffs, we’ll act on three fronts. We’re open to talks — but ready to hit back. We’ll expand trade with other partners. And we’ll strengthen the EU single market — remove barriers, grow our scale, boost competitiveness. 3/

Trump: We made a deal for rare earth with Ukraine. It was all done. And they’re now saying, “Well, I’ll only do that deal if we get into NATO”.

That was never discussed. But it’s probably the reason the war started, actually. 1/
Q: How serious are you about imposing oil sanctions on Russia?

Trump: I want to make sure that he [Putin] follows through. And I think he will.

I don't want to go secondary tariffs on his oil, but it’s something I would do if I thought he wasn’t doing the job. 2/
Trump: The Europeans get paid back the money that they gave, and we don’t. Europe is in for around a hundred billion dollars.

We're in for 350 billion - more than three times as much. Whatever the number, we're in for substantially more than Europe. 3/

WP: Many in Europe doubt that a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine can be achieved in the near future. [I agree! I think it will take several months to get to the Black Sea ceasefire if at all. And who knows how much more for the overall ceasefire.] 1/ Image
And if Trump loses interest in peace in the meantime because it is too hard, the war will continue. 2/
WP: Officials admit that sanctions relief will be part of the negotiations, but a temporary ceasefire must take a first place. 3/

In 2023, China supplied 76% of Russia’s imports of machine tools, thermal imagers, optics, and communications gear used on the battlefield, reports @KSE_Institute. Image
Compare it with 2021, when China exported to Russia 41% of its thermal imagers, optical sights, radios, and CNC machines — all used in weapons production. In the meantime, the EU dropped from 41% to 2% in 2023. 2/ Image
KSE Institute finds that China supplied 90% of Russia’s CHP items imports in 2023 — everything from secure radio modules to CNC machines. Out of these Chinese shipments, 18% were Western goods rerouted through Chinese intermediaries, and 16% were Western goods made in China. 3/ Image

Trump slams Zelensky: He better take the deal or face “big problems.” Wants NATO - won’t happen, he knows it.

Trump hits Putin: Supposed to make a deal. There’s a psychological deadline - if he’s stringing us along, I won’t be happy.

Also, U.S. will succeed, Boom Town USA. 0/
Trump: Zelensky's trying to back out of the rare earth deal. And if he does that, he's got some big problems

We made a deal. Now he’s saying, “I want to renegotiate the deal.”

He wants to be a member of NATO. He was never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that. 1/
Q: Is your relationship with Putin is at its lowest point right now?

Trump: No, I don't think so. I don't think he's going to go back on his word.

We've always gotten along well, despite the Russia hoax - created by Clinton and Schiff and all of these lunatics. 2/
