Investors are backing enough LNG tanker capacity to put the world on track for 4C of warming. This is when we're on track for 3C of warming and aiming for well below 2C. Investors are backing assets that'd be stranded even under the worst climate scenarios. www.businessgreen.com/news/4519373...

Study: $48bn at risk of being written off as LNG tanker orders rise 300 per cent

New analysis warns LNG tanker oversupply could leave investors and shipping operators with stranded assets as clean energy transition gathers pace

Looking beyond #tariffs in Trump's #trade deals in this @uktpo.org blog (from yours truly): www.uktpo.org/2025/08/01/t... It is imperative that we assess the deals for both tariff and non-tariff elements, with the latter having the ability to create longer-term impacts. Happy to discuss.

The Long Game beyond tariffs

The global economy faces a roller-coaster ride every time Mr. Trump is in the White House. Last time, a focus on controlling China’s growing economic power meant that the rest of the world narrowly es...

If I had said this last year, that Trump would try and deport US citizens in his first year, all Republicans and a nontrivial number of liberals and centrists would have attacked me for behind hyperbolic, and fear-mongering, and of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. And yet:

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

“Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign U.N. member state, its citizens, sleeping peaceful cities, nuclear energy infrastructure facilities are categorically unacceptable. The international community cannot afford to be indifferent to such atrocities.” Russian hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Live updates: Israel strikes Iran, killing 3 commanders; Trump urges Tehran to ‘make a deal’

The attacks, which Israel said targeted Iran’s nuclear program and military targets, killed Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami, head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

US, Russia and Israel. Interesting trio to use and claim this defence. R2P was, is and, will continue to be unlawful.

Kevin Jon Heller 🇺🇸🇩🇰@kevinjonheller.bsky.social · last yr.

Let's be clear: Israel's attack on Iran is not simply a violation of the UN Charter. It is a manifest violation of it. Few acts are more unequivocally illegal than preventive (non-imminent) self-defence. So Israel's attack is both unlawful and criminal -- the crime of aggression.

In one dramatic example, Gambian officials said the State Department issued a veiled threat of cutting funds to their fragile democracy if they didn’t approve a license for Musk’s Starlink.

The Trump Administration Leaned on African Countries. The Goal: Get Business for Elon Musk.

The State Department has intervened on behalf of Musk’s satellite internet company in five developing nations. In Gambia, U.S. diplomats have lobbied and browbeat at least seven government ministers…

Our (Alan Winters, Ingo Borchert, Mattia Di Ubaldo, @sunayanasasmal.bsky.social and I) take on the #UKUSDeal and what it means for the UK. Is the deal binding? Does it say much? What of WTO? What about what it doesn’t say? Please share your thoughts and views this timely and important piece.

Besides its symbolic and diplomatic relevance, what is the value of the so-called 'U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal' for the UK? We break this down: www.uktpo.org/2025/05/09/s... #InternationalTrade #Trump #UStariffs #tariffs

I recently joined Chris Horseman & a brilliant panel of experts on a podcast exploring the India–UK Free Trade Agreement—what it means for exporters, professionals, and businesses in both countries. Thanks to Amrita Saha, Prof. Abhijit Das, and Emily Weaver Roads for the engaging discussion.

Happy to share my views with @thewallstreet.bsky.social on the India-UK Free Trade Agreement & what it signals for countries navigating trade negotiations in a shifting global landscape—especially as the U.S. steps back from its traditional role in international trade. shorturl.at/IEABT

As U.S. Turns Its Back on Free Trade, Other Countries Double Down

Faced with U.S. barriers, countries like the U.K. and India move to ease trade among themselves.

Crediting Trump for India-UK FTA is rank amateur, at best. A significant majority of the agreement was concluded a long time ago with only some key areas of priorities for both sides outstanding. Attributing the conclusion of those to timing is mistaking correlation and causation. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #IndiaUKFTA
