Hong Kong-based analysts at Citi Research, led by Yu Xiangrong, argued in a Friday note that US tariffs and export controls were “unlikely

Rep. Ro Khanna: For 75 years, the United States has had an alliance with Israel, and in many cases it was an unquestioned alliance. And so to shift American policy, it’s sort of shifting a Titanic.

Now, I think it’s going to happen by ’26 and once we have a new president in ’28.

IT has been 79 years since Pakistan was brought into being. Much water has passed under the proverbial bridge, but basic contradictions around national identity, resources and representation, and relations with neighbouring countries are as acute as they were in 1947. At the heart of it is the ahistorical notion that the subcontinent’s Muslims are a timeless nation with social mores and interests distinct from Hindus.
