Let see: more oe fewer tariffs? The US and China agreed no more tariffs January 1, 2019. More discussions about trade between the two behemoths. The Chinese economy is slowing and some leaders are nervous about next year. Europeans are getting anxious about 2019 and what their respective economies can expect. In March 2019, the Brexit deadline for the separation of the UK from the EU is supposed to occur. An agreement has been reached, but now that must be approved in Parliament between now and March. PM Theresa May has her work cut out for the holidays. She's already taking her show on the road to sell the agreement to the "people".
Mr. Putin, of the largest country in the world, where he has been the chief dictator and disrupter for more than 18 years, was loping around looking for friends without much luck. Yes, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia talked with Vova, but not much is expected to come of that. With the price of oil hovering near $50/barrel, these oil producing countries have to readjust their spending at home and abroad. Down in Ukraine, Russya is at it again, making noise and upsetting Poroshenko(declared martial law and put military forces on alert). Maybe Russya will back off but that's doubtful given Putin's agenda in that neck of the woods. He wants the world to keep on guessing as to his moves and motives. But when you are a dictator, who cares what happens among the population.
More pronouncements will be published today, but not much will happen: it's all talk, no action.
Happy Springtime.
