Trump signs social media executive order that calls for removal of liability protections over censoring.

Currency Revaluation RV

A revaluation is a calculated upward adjustment to a country's official exchange rate relative to a chosen baseline.
The baseline can include wage rates, the price of gold, or a foreign currency.
Currency revaluation can be triggered by changes in the interest rates between various countries and large-scale events that affect the overall profitability, or competitiveness, of an economy.

Banks in Big Trouble. Seismic events on the horizon

Banks are making desperate moves. Wells Fargo is shutting down all existing personal lines of credit in the coming weeks and no longer offers the product.
The role of commercial banks in the global economy is changing, with lending to governments and their agencies now more important than lending to goods and services industries. It is a trend which is due to continue.
The new Basel 3 regulations seem set to encourage this trend, despite retail depositors being accorded a stable funding status. Central bank digital currencies are anticipated to augment and perhaps replace non-financial business credit over the next five to ten years.
But the increasing financialisation of commercial banking brings the risk of tying its future firmly to a financial bubble. And with price inflation on the increase, it is only a matter of very little time before that bubble bursts.

United States and China are seeking debt relief measures

The United States and China are in frequent discussions to prevent emerging market sovereign defaults.
Talks include preemptive measures such as extending loan periods to ease the annual debt service burden of over US$400 billion for poor countries.
Ideas also involve increased financing from the World Bank and others to address high borrowing rates.
The aim is to implement these measures before countries default and enter formal restructuring talks with creditors.
The Treasury Department: "we talk frequently with China about sovereign debt concerns.
And we talk to many countries about how to make sure the international financial architecture is meeting low-income country financing needs".

Trump plans troops global pullback

President Donald Trump may withdraw nearly all U.S. troops from Somalia as part of a global pullback that includes reductions of forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, U.S. officials said.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said nothing had been finalized and that no orders for Somalia have been received by the U.S. military. But there appeared to be a growing expectation that drawdown orders would be coming soon.
Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller issued a memo to the entire Defense Department that hinted of a coming U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
