US President Donald Trump wants to relieve the FED governor Lisa Cook with immediate effect from her position on the board. In his letter to Cook, the President said that there were sufficient reasons to assume that she had given incorrect information in one or more mortgage contracts.

“The events around Fed governor Lisa Cook has the potential to ensure new uncertainty on Wall Street,” wrote analyst Thomas Altmann from the asset manager QC Partners. It is not just the question of what is actually about the allegations against Cook. “It is about Donald Trump’s possibility to bring the Fed to the line of lower interest rates he wanted with new appointments,” said Altmann.

Trump threatens China with punitive tariffs of up to 200 percent if Beijing does not reliably supply the United States with magnets from rare earths. At the same time, Trump admitted that such drastic measures would mean a collapse of the trade with China. “We have a much more powerful remedy, that’s tariffs. If we raise 100 percent, 200 percent tariffs, we would no longer do a trade with China”. This would also be okay if it had to be.
