Download Full Report Here

Executive summary:

  • President Donald Trump endorsed a full-year stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown on March 15. Senate Democrats are backing away from suggestions they could use a shutdown as leverage to extract concessions from the GOP.
  • Trump injected more uncertainty into his trade plans, reiterating that a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada will indeed go into effect on March 4, after hinting on Wednesday implementation could be delayed by another month.
  • Trump also announced an additional 10% tariff would be applied to Chinese imports on Tuesday and his "reciprocal" tariffs remain on track for implementation on April 2.
  • A string of European leaders rejected Trump’s comments disparaging the bloc, pledging to use its ‘trade bazooka’ if required.
  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer departed Washington without a commitment from Trump on Ukraine but with a promise to work towards a trade deal, spiking optimism in London that the UK could avoid tariffs.
  • Trump softened his tone towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of a potentially make-or-break bilateral meeting at the White House.
  • Russian and US officials promised to continue diplomatic discussions following “substantive and businesslike” talks in Istanbul.
  • Trump's hardline rhetoric towards Canada has triggered a polling recovery from outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party.
  • Talks are underway in Cairo on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
  • Poll of the Day: Only half of Republicans believe tariffs would be an economic boon.
