This election wasn’t a mandate, it was a directive. 

Lower costs. Clean up the corruption. End the war. Stop the tariffs. Reverse the Medicaid cuts. 

That’s what NEPA sent me here to do, and I’m ready to hit the ground running.

Europe must do this or risk disintegration and subjugation to Russia @martinwolf_
The EU must "take custody of the €210bn of sovereign Russian assets it immobilised in 2022 so it can use them to help Kyiv in its defence”. Moreover, these “assets are large enough to provide a funding bridge for Ukraine into 2029”. ft.com/content/64131a… via @ft

Alice Huang: The Spy Narrative Misses Her Real Business

Everyone on X seems to treat the “Alice Huang is a Chinese spy” narrative as established fact. I say, not so fast.

Having spent over two decades doing business in China, I recognize a different character: the 掮客 (commercial fixer) and 白手套 (white glove)—an intermediary who shields the real principals behind a deal.

Her career in Shanghai’s murky capital markets, followed by Megaspeed’s $4.8 billion in Nvidia chip purchases, reveals a strikingly similar pattern.

The relevant questions should be: Whose money? Whose chips? Whose interests?

My latest Substack follows the money rather than the sensational spy narrative.

Very pleased to welcome former US President @JoeBiden and his family to Dublin.

We reflected on his strong Irish roots and previous visits, appreciating his lifelong support for Ireland.
