Expert: Stor fara med USA:s Ukrainautspel

Later this week, White House envoys plan to discuss with their European counterparts how to end the nearly three-year war in Ukraine. 

For any negotiations to produce a durable settlement, however, the US and its allies must show they’re willing to enforce it.

The Kremlin is unlikely to negotiate more seriously until the costs of war outweigh the costs of peace. That will almost certainly require more Western economic and military pressure — and a credible, long-term commitment to Ukraine’s security.

As politically difficult as this will be, the countries most likely to take part — the UK, Poland, France and Germany among them — must begin solidifying their troop pledges, if only to convince Putin they are serious.

Fondbolagen höjer sin lönsamhet när kapitalet ökar. Swedbanks fondbolag Robur, noterade en vinst på drygt 2,4 miljarder kronor.  I sin årsredovisning skriver Robur att det framför allt är utvecklingen på världens börser som bidragit till att det förvaltade fondkapitalet ökade med hela 17 procent jämfört med 2022.  SEB kan visa upp ett resultat på närmare 1,4 miljarder kronor för sin verksamhet i SEB Investment Management  Fondbolagens goda lönsamhet baseras på att fondspararna fortfarande är villiga att betala relativt höga avgifter. Den genomsnittliga fondavgiften ligger nu på 1,3 procent enligt en rapport från AMF. I kategorin aktiefonder är snittavgiften 1,45 procent av kapitalet. Svenskarnas samlade fondförmögenhet rekordhöga 7.900 miljarder kronor. Under årets första sex månader tog den svenska fondbranschen emot 103,7 miljarder kronor i nysparande, den högsta halvårssiffran någonsin.  Hans Bolander DI 29 juli 2024 https://www.di.se/nyheter/jattarnas-miljardvins...

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack?
