Israeli air strike on Gaza school kills over 20 Palestinians "At least 20 Palestinians were killed and dozens were wounded after an Israeli air strike hit a Gaza school sheltering displaced families, local officials say. Women and children were among the victims, with some bodies severely burned. Israel's genocidal war, now in its five-hundred-ninety-seventh day, has claimed over fifty-three-thousand-nine-hundred Palestinian lives, with more than eleven-thousand still missing under the rubble. Global outrage is growing as humanitarian conditions for Palestinians worsen due to the Israeli blockade. Meanwhile, Israel's Defence Ministry has overspent its war budget by four-point-seventeen billion dollars, sparking heated tensions with the Finance Ministry, which warns the gap may reach $7 billion. " Putin has gone absolutely crazy after Ukraine attack: Trump "US President Donald Trump has fiercely condemned his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, saying he's “gone absolutely crazy” after Moscow's massive weekend missile attack on Ukraine. Trump accused Putin of deliberately killing civilians and warned that trying to seize all of Ukraine could trigger Russia's downfall. While distancing himself from the conflict, Trump calls this conflict “Zelenskyy's, Putin's, and Biden's war.” The latest Russian assault is recorded as one of the largest strikes since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began three years ago." US delays EU tariffs while negotiating trade terms "US President Donald Trump has agreed to delay a looming 50 percent tariff on EU goods until July 9, following talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump called the extension a ""privilege,"" while von der Leyen pledged swift, decisive negotiations to secure a fair deal. The move signals a temporary thaw in US-EU trade tensions, although key disputes over tariffs and regulations still loom, calming jittery global markets for now." Pakistan channels surplus power into bitcoin mining "In a bold tech-forward move, Pakistan will channel 2,000 megawatts of surplus electricity to bitcoin mining and AI data centres, the finance ministry announced. Spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council, the initiative aims to harness excess power, boost high-tech employment, and attract global investment. Amid rising tariffs and a solar surge, the plan marks phase one of a sweeping digital infrastructure rollout designed to monetise idle energy and reshape the nation's tech landscape."

We sit down with France's minister-delegate for Europe, Benjamin Haddad, to take stock of diplomacy around Ukraine and the US-EU standoff over trade tariffs. Haddad lived in the US and worked for top think tanks there, including the Atlantic Council and the Hudson Institute. He wrote a book entitled "Paradise Lost: Trump's America and the end of European illusions" during the first Trump presidency. With that theme in mind, we also touch on European competitiveness, research and innovation.

A trade deal that would see the European Union and the US zero out tariffs on industrial products would be the best way to resolve the current tensions, according to German Finance Minister Joerg Kukies.

There is nervousness in Brussels about the incoming US administration. That is not just down to Donald Trump's plans for Ukraine, but also because of his pledge to slap tariffs on EU goods of at least 10 percent. Trump insists that the EU will have to "pay a big price" for not buying enough American exports. That could hit key industrial sectors hard, not least car manufacturing. And officials from the European Central Bank are now warning of the damage that US tariffs would do to economic growth in the eurozone. But is a trade war inevitable, or could the two sides negotiate an off-ramp? We put the question to two MEPs.

New Ukraine war offensives (both Ukraine & Russia) coming by July 7. Putin's visit to North Korea & Viet Nam as Russian response to US/EU bilateral defense deals with Ukraine. Are both sides lining up allies in preparation for a wider war? Similarities with summer 1914. Netanyahu out-maneuvers Biden (again). Is a larger war with Hezbollah near? US media blackout of Yemen war as Houthis winning Red Sea blockade. On he economic front: What's happening in the US  goods sector (construction-manufacturing)? Trump focuses on more business tax cuts as centerpiece of his economic program: proposes replacing corporate income tax with tariffs as CEOs push to end all US taxation on their foreign profits and reducing current 21% corporate tax rate to 15% for all business. What's in Trump's 2018 Tax Cuts 2.0 for 2025? The US Supreme Court's rules against any future Wealth Tax on billionaires, saying US Constitution allows tax only on income not wealth (even though Constitution provides for taxation “from whatever source derived”). Meanwhile, SCOTUS protects Trump 2018 tax cut for corporations' offshore profits. (Next week: the tightly scripted and controlled ‘debate' between Biden and Trump later this week)

A number of critical events occurred in the US proxy war in Ukraine during the past week: Wall St. Journal describes US/EU plan to release $260B of Russian frozen assets in EU banks to fund Ukraine in 2025; NATO and US approve Ukraine use of long range missiles to strike within Russia, signaling a strategic escalation of the war. Ukraine strikes Russian intercontinental ballistic missile warning system deep inside Russia. One step closer to US-Russia nuclear exchange. Putin-Lavrov publicly say Russia already at war with NATO. Latest on Israel attack of Rafah city; US and UK renew bombing of Yemen; US CIA & NGOs maneuvering in the Caucasus region's 3 countries. Putin visits central asia countries & signs deal for Afghanistan to provide contract troops for Ukraine war. Second half of the show addresses just released revised US GDP for 1st Quarter showing even slower growth at only 1.3% annual GDP growth. Consumer spending on goods, residential housing, and imports all adding to the slowdown while bus. Investment in factories and AI keeps GDP from slowing even further. Why IP category added to GDP in 2013 keeps the economy registering recession on paper GDP even if not in actual terms. Is the US economy on the way to a second post-Covid (2020-21) contraction (first double dip was in 2022)?

In November, it will be 25 years since the Battle of Seattle – the summit and street fight that marked the end of a half-century of ever-broadening global trade negotiations. Between 2013 and 2016, the same “anti-globalisation” movement sank a US-EU bid to build a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership but it wasn't until 2016 – with the Brexit referendum and Donald Trump's election as president – that the postwar trade liberalisation process threatened to go into reverse. With his trade expertise and a voice made for Twitter, Dmitry Grozoubinski was – as he admits in Why Politicians Lie About Trade: … and What You Need to Know About It (Canbury Press, 2024) - “in the right place at the right time with the right credentials to stand in front of the firehose of bullshit that was the public debate around trade policy in the late 2010s and cry: ‘um, no, that's not how that works". Executive director of the Geneva Trade Platform and founder of ExplainTrade, Grozoubinski was once an Australian diplomat who negotiated trade agreements in Geneva at the World Trade Organization. Before joining the Australian civil service, he taught at the Monash Graduate School of Business, where he took his Masters in Diplomacy and Trade. *The author's book recommendations are The Great Convergence: Information Technology and the New Globalization by Richard Baldwin (Harvard University Press, 2019) and The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence by Ros Atkins (Wildfire, 2023).

The United States and the EU  on Friday imposed sanctions on Bentzi Gopstein, an ally of  national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and two entities that raised money for Israeli men accused of settler violence, the latest actions aimed against those Washington blames for an escalation of West Bank  violence. .According to the  U.S.-based news outlet Axios, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also expected to announce for the first time sanctions against the IDF ultra-Orthodox combat unit Netzah Yehuda battalion for alleged human rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank, Reserve Lt. Col. Maurice Hirsch is the Director of the Initiative for Palestinian Authority Accountability and Reform in the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the former Director of the Military Prosecution for Judea and Samaria. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with him about the latest batch of sanctions and the reports that the US will also sanction the IDF's Netzah Yehuda battalion.

We are thrilled to share this Special Edition COBT episode featuring Peter Orszag, CEO of Lazard. Peter assumed the role as Lazard CEO in the fall of 2023, after serving as CEO of Lazard's Financial Advisory business. Prior to his tenure at Lazard, Peter's wide-ranging career includes serving as Director of the Office of Management and Budget and as Director of the Congressional Budget Office during the Obama Administration. Peter also served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy in the Clinton Administration and Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. Mike Bradley, Jeff Tillery and I were pleased to host Peter and hear his unique insights from his experience spanning both public service and private enterprise. Peter recently co-authored an OpEd for Foreign Affairs entitled “Geopolitics in the C-Suite” (linked here) that explores how corporations are increasingly struggling with geopolitical complexity, an area which impacts capital allocation and long-range investment decisions. In our conversation, we cover main themes from the article, global macroeconomic trends, managing a global corporation like Lazard amidst geopolitical challenges, the potential for a “US-EU Super Bloc” and missed opportunities for collaboration in trade and energy strategies, structural challenges facing Chinese economic growth, and the impacts of political polarization on foreign policy. We discuss shifting dynamics in the Middle East, implications of the Chevron deference case (additional information here), factors influencing M&A and restructuring activity, the integration of AI in various industries, Lazard's Power, Energy & Infrastructure team/effort, CFIUS, and overall antitrust activity. Peter shares his perspective on managing information overload, the challenge of addressing long-term US national debt, differences he's noticed between public and private sector planning timelines, and much more. We end by discussing Lazard's vision for 2030 and their “Banker-Scholar” culture. It was a fascinating discussion. For additional reading, Lazard's 2023 Annual Letter to Shareholders is linked here and Lazard's report on Top Geopolitical Trends in 2024 is linked here. For further watching, we have previously hosted two Lazard guests on COBT: George Bilicic, Vice Chairman and Global Head of Power Energy & Infrastructure (May 3, 2023 linked here) and Admiral William McRaven, Senior Advisor (July 28, 2020 linked here). We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! Thank you again to Peter for joining. Our best to you all.
