Tariffs, uncertainty dim 2025 outlook: Mohamed El-Erian

 

On Morning Brief, Queens' College, Cambridge president Mohamed El-Erian weighs in, saying though recession risks have risen, it is not his "baseline." 

"My probability of US recession has gone up from 10% to 25 to 30%. 

• So it's not the baseline... 

1. The reason why it's not the baseline has to do with the structural strengths of the US economy. 
2. It also has to do with what we've been promised down the road in terms of deregulation, tax cuts, and the reality of low energy prices," he says.

MICHAEL McFAUL: Ex-envoy to Russia slams Trump's negotiating strategy as 'incredibly bad'

Mar 12, 2025

The Kyiv Independent's Chris York sits down with Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia and political scientist, to discuss the Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations, U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the ideological parallels between Putinism and MAGA.

". . .The early stumbles underscored McFaul's lack of credentials as a diplomat. 

Prior to taking a job as a policy adviser to the Obama White House in 2009, he taught political science at Stanford University and was a long-time Russia expert, having studied in the Soviet Union in the 1980s and writing numerous scholarly papers related to Soviet and Russian policies.

The war of words between McFaul and Kremlin allies lasted the first five months of 2012. Then Putin retook the presidency in May after having run a campaign in which he played on anti-American sentiment, openly accusing the State Department of aiding the anti-Kremlin protests. 

• A few months later, Russia announced it was kicking out the Moscow office of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, partly over accusations that it was meddling in domestic politics.

Yermak-McFaul Sanctions Group presented new research on Russia's circumvention of export control restrictions in the technological and digital spheres

17 January 2024 - 12:04

The International Task Force on sanctions against Russia, chaired by Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak and Director of the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), Ambassador Michael McFaul, has developed new research focusing on Russia's attempts to circumvent export control restrictions on military and dual-use goods and software.
"The International Task Force on sanctions has indeed become a key platform where independent experts generate ideas for new sanctions and recommend how to implement the restrictions more effectively. I am grateful to each expert who contributed to the development of proposals in the key areas of export controls and IT," said Andriy Yermak.

When working on new sanctions against Russia, it is crucial not to give it the opportunity to circumvent current restrictions – Andriy Yermak at joint briefing

For his part, Ambassador Michael McFaul emphasized: 

• "Limiting Russia's ability to produce weapons is key. 
• This is what I consider the number one priority for sanctions policy. 
• Much has been done, but our experts point to many ways to increase effectiveness. 
• We continue to work."
