Musk defended Doge's actions as mandated by the public's vote for major government reform.

How do varying opinions on Donald Trump's impact on world peace and the EU's future influence the overall results of the ECFR poll, and what are the contributing factors?

The shift in European perception of the US as a "necessary partner" rather than an "ally" is linked to the transactional approach of the current US administration, according to ECFR analyst Pawel Zerka. This view is prevalent even in countries with historically strong ties to the US, indicating a significant change in the transatlantic relationship. The poll highlights diverging opinions on Trump, with more support in southeastern Europe and opposition in northern and western Europe.

How will the existing trade imbalance between the U.S. and India influence the negotiations, and what specific defense deals might be reached during Modi's visit?

India's strategic partnership with the U.S. is complicated by a significant trade imbalance ($50 billion in India's favor) and Trump's focus on increasing American arms sales to India. While India has shown flexibility on tariffs and migration, its willingness to concede further depends on balancing its national interests with the pursuit of a strong U.S. relationship. This balancing act is particularly challenging given India's simultaneous efforts to manage its relations with China.

How do economists explain the US trade deficit, and why do they disagree with Trump's approach to addressing it?

Economists argue that America's trade deficit stems from its high consumption and borrowing, not unfair trade practices. Free trade, by allowing countries to specialize in efficient production, increases overall output and benefits all participants. Trump's tariffs, however, disrupt this system, leading to retaliatory measures and harming American businesses.

This incident exemplifies a broader pattern of the Trump administration limiting press access based on editorial decisions. The AP's refusal to comply with the name change for the Gulf of Mexico, unlike its acceptance of the name change for Mount McKinley due to US jurisdiction, highlights the conflict between journalistic independence and presidential control over information.
