Wishing everyone a blessed Easter.

At its heart, Easter is a profound reminder of Christ’s message of love and redemption. May this season inspire us to extend compassion, live with purpose, and embrace the promise of new beginnings. Wishing you and your loved ones peace and joy

For those trying to figure out the economic damage from the new tariffs going into effect today, this tweet and the discussion that follows are useful. My own take is that this is an own goal for team USA. The only question is how much economic damage this will cause if the tariffs stay for an extended period. It is incredible to me that we want to start a trade war with, of all places, Canada.

How green are the G20 economies? No surprise that Russia isn’t on the clean energy path. The Chinese efforts towards green energy must always be seen from a security point of view but are really impressive so far. Good on you, Brazil.

Happy 64th Independence Day to #Nigeria, a country that still has a lot of growing up to do.

A nation with lots of potential and abundance of natural resources, but equally abundant in bad governance, corruption and weak leadership. #EconomicGrowth #poverty #Inflation
