Bond market revolt signals fading confidence in US economic leadership (SCMP)
|
|
|
Two years ago, the prospect of a trade war between the United States and Canada, two of the world's most closely integrated economies, would have been unthinkable. However, US President Donald Trump's recklessness and capriciousness know no bounds.

Funds in these accounts can only be invested in "eligible investments" during the growth period, referring to the period beginning from setting up the Trump Account to Dec. 31 of the calendar year in which the beneficiary becomes 17 years of age, the IRS said in an Aug. 20 statement.
