Would be interesting to know exactly how many of which nation’s warships are in the Black Sea The Turkish waterway had featured rather prominently several times in history, so escaping geography is a non-starter. bloomberg.com Turkey to Restrict Transit of Russian Warships Through Straits (8:31 p.m.)Turkey has decided to restrict Russian warships from using waterways it controls to transit into the Black Sea due to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, according to two Turkish officials familiar with the matter. The officials, who asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, fleshed out President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s pledge earlier on Monday to “exercise” the authority over the straits granted to Turkey by the 1936 Montreux Convention to prevent an escalation of fighting. The Turkish straits give Russia’s Black Sea fleet entry to the Mediterranean. The Montreux agreement allows Ankara to regulate maritime traffic through the waterways during peace and wartime alike. So far, there had been no transit requests from the government in Moscow since the measures came into force, the officials said.

I do not remember, but wasn’t Cohn fired by the Trump? I do remember that Cohn wasn’t into the trade war. Let’s see if Team Biden believes monetary+supply-chain inflation can be fought by keeping the FED doing nothing (yeah, the FED is owned) together w/ adding a war and a trade war on top I remain agnostic and open-minded on what mind tricks can lead to bloomberg.com Ex-Trump Adviser Cohn Says China Tariff Cuts Would Ease Inflation Inflation is running at the hottest pace in four decades Tariffs raise prices, leading to bigger political issue: Cohn Laura Curtis March 1, 2022, 3:58 AM GMT+8 Gary CohnPhotographer: Scott McIntyre/BloombergGary Cohn, a former economic adviser to President Donald Trump, urged the Biden administration to lift tariffs on Chinese goods to help ease inflation. Cohn, now vice-chairman at International Business Machines Corp., quit his role in 2018 as the Trump administration began slapping tariffs on a broad range of Chinese products to punish Beijing for its alleged theft of intellectual property. Beijing denies the allegations. President Joe Biden has left those duties in place as leverage in talks to persuade China to abide by commitments in the trade deal Trump signed in early 2020.

Americans are experiencing the strongest inflation since the early 1980s, with the consumer price index climbing 7.5% in January from a year earlier. He spoke at the TPM22 Conference produced by The Journal of Commerce in Long Beach, California, on Monday. Cohn said he’s concerned that proposals for a gas-tax holiday to bring relief to consumers could hinder financing for Biden’s infrastructure investment package. Some Congressional Democrats have been pushing for a suspension of the gasoline tax. “We literally just passed an infrastructure bill in the United States, which is to fix roads, bridges,” he said. “The gas tax goes to fix roads, bridges, so some will have to explain that to me later. Why would we do that?” Cohn attributed the ongoing supply-chain troubles to disruptions from the pandemic, especially the increase of goods purchases from people being stuck inside and investing in their homes. “It clearly starts with some of the tariffs. But I’m not gonna blame the tariffs,” at least not entirely, Cohn said. Sent from my iPad
