Ukraine's funding gap, including cash and arms, could stand at around US$389bn in 2026-29 • That is almost double the roughly US$206bn that Europe has supplied since early 2022 • EU's ability to help Kyiv finance war will test of Europe's willingness and ability to count on global scene
Fascinating - a sliver of why it's insufficient to argue that China simply "cheats" WTO subsidies disciplines. Rather, Chinese lenders operate in a far more complex way. No amount of navigating control of SOEs will account for this integrated, layered support. www.aiddata.org/publications...

The longer the US-China trade war goes on, the more US farmers will suffer and the more it will cost every American to bail them out. We are in the middle of the normal harvest/export season for soybeans. The clock is ticking. @csis.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=porc...
