Elon Musk hints at THIS big change in US government if Trump comes to power

<p>Donald Trump's marriages have made headlines over the years as his personal life has been marred by several controversies.</p>

<p>Trump first married Ivana Trump in 1977, at the time when he was building his real estate empire. The couple became parents to three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In her memoir, Raising Trump, Ivana wrote about how she first met Trump, when the former US president approached her at a dinner.</p>

<p>“We made polite small talk, no funny stuff at all. He sensed correctly that flirting would not work with me and acted like a gentleman,” Ivana wrote.</p>

<p>The couple also became business associates. Their marriage lasted for over a decade until Ivana came to know about Trump's affair with model Marla Maples.</p>

Donald Trump's first two marriages, children and all you need to know

<p>As Americans voted in one of the tightest presidential elections in decades, China braced for an outcome that - regardless of who wins - would spell four more years of bitter superpower rivalry over trade, technology and security issues.</p>

<p>Strategists in Beijing said that while they expected more fiery rhetoric and potentially crippling tariffs from Republican candidate Donald Trump, some said he could be driven by pragmatism and willingness to strike deals on trade and Taiwan.</p>

<p>From Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, Beijing expected predictability and a continuation of U.S. President Joe Biden's approach centred on working with allies on China-related issues such as tech curbs, Taiwan, and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.</p>

<p>Either outcome was unlikely to cause a shift, said analysts, given how wide-ranging the geopolitical rivalry with Beijing has become, and how politically lethal even a perception of reaching out to China is on both sides of the aisle in Washington.</p>

<p>"Regardless of who is elected, the structural tensions are an undeniable reality and have become a widely accepted bipartisan consensus within the U.S.," said Henry Huiyao Wang of the Beijing-based Center for China and Globalization think tank.</p>

<p>China policies of either Trump or Harris administrations “will likely be strategically consistent," said experts from Peking University, Wang Jisi, Hu Ran, and Zhao Jianwei in their article in Foreign Affairs.</p>

<p>"As presidents, both candidates would present challenges and disadvantages for China, and neither seems likely to want a major military conflict or to cut off all economic and societal contacts," they said, adding that because of that, "Beijing is unlikely to have a clear preference."</p>

<p>Opinion polls show Trump, 78, and Harris, 60, virtually even. The winner may not be known for days after the vote, though Trump has already signalled that he will attempt to fight any defeat, as he did in 2020.</p>

<h2><strong>Trump tariff threat</strong></h2>

<p>The biggest difference with respect to China policy is on trade, where Trump has proposed tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% and ending China’s most-favored-nation trading status.</p>

<p>That threat alone has unnerved China's industrial complex, which sells goods worth more than $400 billion annually to the U.S. and hundreds of billions more in components for products Americans buy from elsewhere.</p>

<p>Producers interviewed by Reuters expected the tariffs to disrupt supply chains and further shrink Chinese profits, hurting jobs, investment, and already sagging growth. A trade war would raise production costs and U.S. consumer prices even if factories relocated, they said.</p>

<p>New tariffs could be "very challenging for Beijing given the economic difficulties in China," said Zhao Minghao, professor at the Shanghai-based Fudan University.</p>

<p>He added that Beijing also had "deeper concerns over the future of the international economic and trade system," because of Trump's proposal for a 10% tariff on all goods from other countries.</p>

<p>Democrats have expanded tariffs in areas that they say were of strategic importance to Washington or, they say, threatened by Chinese overproduction, including electric vehicles.</p>

<h2><strong>East Asia alliances&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Chinese analysts say that despite Trump's distrust of NATO and reluctance to work with Western allies, the network of alliances built up in East Asia over the last decade is likely to endure in case of his victory.</p>

<p>They refer to the QUAD alliance of India, Japan, Australia and the U.S., the AUKUS defence technology partnership between Australia, Britain and the U.S., and the trilateral networks between the U.S., its staunch ally Japan, and both South Korea and the Philippines, respectively.</p>

<p>"Even if Trump is unwilling to cooperate with allies, the multiple 'mini-multilateral' frameworks built in the Asia-Pacific region during the Biden administration are more likely to be continued," said Diao Daming, professor at Beijing's Renmin University.</p>

<p>As vice president, Harris has cultivated relationships in Asia with leaders who are wary of China's rise, from Japan to the Philippines and Vietnam, aiming for alliances to deter Chinese assertive posture in the region.</p>

<p>For his part, Trump has unnerved democratically governed Taiwan by saying it should pay Washington for its defence and that it had taken U.S. semiconductor business.</p>

<p>Asked in an interview with the Wall Street Journal if he would use military force against a blockade on Taiwan by China, Trump said it would not come to that because Xi respected him, instead vowing to impose additional tariffs on Beijing.</p>

<p>"Given Trump's predilection for dealmaking, he might decide to pursue bilateral agreements with Beijing on consumer goods, energy, and technology," said Wang, Hu, and Zhao of Peking University in Foreign Affairs.</p>

<p>"He might also try to use the Taiwan issue as a bargaining chip to gain leverage in other areas, such as offering to restrain Taiwan's provocative actions in exchange for Beijing’s compromise on trade," they said.</p>

<p>Still, they said China was "highly unlikely" to "agree to such a deal, and Trump's foreign policy advisers might also oppose it."</p>

China braces for more rivalry as tight US presidential race comes to an end

Election day voting has begun in the United States, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris vying to become the next president. Americans aren't just choosing the President, they're also picking members of the US Congress. Watch this report for more details!

US Elections 2024: All Eyes on Knife-Edge Presidential Polls

The 2024 US Presidential election is now underway, with more than 80 million Americans already casting early ballots. The stakes are particularly high as key issues like abortion rights, the war in Ukraine and the Middle East dominate the discourse. Watch this report for more details!

US Elections 2024: Trump or Harris, Who Will The Voters Choose?

<p>Americans head to the polls on Tuesday in a mood of discontent and division, with opinion polls showing nearly two-thirds of voters believe the country has been heading in the wrong direction under President Joe Biden.</p>

<p>While the United States economy is the envy of the industrialised world, emerging from COVID shutdowns with strong job growth and wage increases, many Americans complain those gains were gobbled up by high grocery and housing prices.</p>

<p>Biden's promise of a return to a more humane immigration regime than under Republican former President Donald Trump soon collided with the reality of a spike in illegal border crossings.</p>

<p>The Supreme Court upended the legal landscape around abortion rights by overturning Roe v. Wade, inflaming one of the most divisive issues in American politics.</p>

<p>And despite Biden's pledge that America would serve as a stabilizing force in the world, overseas conflicts have overshadowed his presidency.</p>

<p>Whoever triumphs in the election—Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris—will inherit the legacy of a Biden administration that made good on some promises, saw others swept off-course by events, and others still only partially fulfilled. Here's how Biden fared on the defining issues of his presidency.</p>

<h2><strong>Immigration</strong></h2>

<p>Biden, a Democrat, started his presidency by reversing many of Trump’s restrictive immigration policies. He halted construction of Trump’s border wall, rescinded bans targeting people from certain majority-Muslim countries and other nations, and wound down the “remain in Mexico” program, which forced non-Mexican asylum seekers to wait in Mexico as they pursued their U.S. cases.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But months into his presidency, illegal crossings spiked, particularly among unaccompanied children from Central America, overwhelming U.S. border processing centers and fuelling Republican criticism.</p>

<p>Illegal crossings reached record levels in 2022 and 2023 as more migrants arrived from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela and countries outside the hemisphere.</p>

<p>In response, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, in 2022 began busing arriving migrants north to Democratic cities, including New York City and Chicago, which struggled to house them.</p>

<p>In January, Biden backed a bipartisan bill that aimed to tighten border security. After the bill was defeated in the U.S. Senate amid Trump's opposition, Biden in June banned asylum for most migrants crossing the border illegally.</p>

<p>The number of migrants caught crossing illegally dropped dramatically, undercutting Trump's false claims that Harris and Democrats support an open border.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the political pressures surrounding migration, Biden created new legal pathways for hundreds of thousands of migrants and oversaw the restoration of the U.S. refugee program, which admitted more than 100,000 refugees in fiscal year 2024, the most in 30 years.</p>

<p><strong>Abortion</strong></p>

<p>The biggest upheaval on abortion access in decades occurred during Biden's presidency - but because of a decision by the Supreme Court.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In June 2022, the conservative majority formed by Trump's judicial appointments to the court eliminated the nearly 50-year-old federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The decision ushered in a period in which individual states set their own laws on abortion access. More than a dozen states banned abortion in all or most cases. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Biden condemned the Supreme Court ruling, and his administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services and the Justice Department, laid out guidelines to ensure access to emergency abortion care under federal law and defended the use of the abortion pill before the Supreme Court.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The administration also pushed for expanded access to reproductive health services like contraception through the Affordable Care Act.</p>

<p>The administration won its biggest victory in June when the Supreme Court rejected a case brought by anti-abortion advocates seeking to roll back the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone, one of two medications used in the abortion pill regimen.</p>

<p>But the court dismissed on procedural grounds the administration's case, arguing that Idaho's severe abortion ban conflicted with a federal law requiring medical providers to offer stabilizing emergency care, including abortions. In October, the court declined to hear a similar administration case about Texas' strict abortion ban.</p>

<p>While devoutly Catholic Biden was openly uncomfortable about abortion from early in his political career, mitigating the impacts of the dissolution of Roe v. Wade has become a pillar of his presidency.</p>

<p>Democrats more broadly made abortion rights central to their platform in the 2022 midterm elections. In March, Harris became the first sitting vice president or president to visit an abortion clinic.</p>

<h2><strong>Economy</strong></h2>

<p>Joe Biden may go down in history as overseeing the best economy that everyone hated.</p>

<p>Since 2021, as the country emerged from a global pandemic that briefly created historic job losses and brought the economy to a near-standstill, employers have added nearly 16.5 million new jobs. The unemployment rate has averaged just 4.2%, including the longest run at 4% or below since the 1960s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gross domestic product growth has averaged 3.2% per quarter, well above what most economists view as the U.S. economy's long-term potential. Incomes and wages have grown above trend. Collective U.S. household net worth has climbed to a record $163.8 trillion, thanks to a booming stock market and rising home values.</p>

<p>But survey after survey over most of Biden's term has shown little of that registering with average Americans. Why? Because all of that occurred against the backdrop of the worst inflation breakout in a generation.</p>

<p>As the economy reopened, a mix of tangled supply chains, worker shortages and hot consumer demand, supported by roughly $5 trillion of government stimulus from Biden's and Trump's administrations, sent prices climbing&nbsp;fast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>By the summer of 2022, the Consumer Price Index was rising by 9.1% year-over-year and the widely followed gauge of household satisfaction with the economy—the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index—tumbled to a record low.</p>

<p>While inflation has receded and sentiment has begun to recover, surveys show Americans still feel the sting of lingering high prices, and they blame Biden and Democrats for it.</p>

<h2><strong>Racial justice</strong></h2>

<p>On his first day in the White House, Biden signed an executive order aimed at addressing racism, police brutality, poverty and inequities impacting Black people and other communities of color.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But reform has been slow. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, introduced in 2021 to stop aggressive law enforcement tactics and racial bias, stalled in Congress.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2022, Biden issued an executive order directing the Department of Justice to create a national database of misconduct by federal law enforcement officers and requiring federal law enforcement agencies to investigate the use of deadly force or deaths in custody. It also restricted federal agencies from using chokeholds and "no knock" entries. &nbsp;</p>

<p>While Biden's Justice Department revived investigations into civil rights abuses, which had largely stopped under Trump, it has failed to secure a single binding settlement in the 12 investigations opened into possible police civil rights abuses since Biden took office.</p>

<p>On the economic front, Black unemployment fell to a historic low last year. This year alone, the administration directed $1.5 billion in loans to Black-owned businesses. It has also invested more than $16 billion in historically Black colleges and universities and distributed $2.2 billion to more than 43,000 Black and other farmers who experienced discrimination. Last year, the Biden administration allocated $470 million to improve maternal health.</p>

<h2><strong>Foreign policy</strong></h2>

<p>From wars in Ukraine and Gaza to civil bloodshed in Sudan, overseas conflicts have dominated Biden's foreign policy agenda.</p>

<p>Biden came to office promising to restore U.S. global leadership in the world and determined to push back on an increasingly aggressive China.</p>

<p>In some ways, his administration has done just that. After the chaotic 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Biden rallied U.S. allies the following year to oppose Russia's invasion of Ukraine and has also revitalized alliances across Asia to pressure China's leadership.</p>

<p>But the U.S. has struggled to bring the grinding conflicts to an end and hasn't been able to prevent the deepening ties between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.</p>

<p>Now in its third year, the war of attrition in Ukraine continues despite billions of dollars in U.S. military aid and massive losses on both sides. The conflict is increasingly international, with Western accusations that Moscow is receiving weapons and soldiers from North Korea, missiles and drones from Iran and technical and other support from China.</p>

<p>The war between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, which started when Hamas fighters staged a deadly attack into Israel, has metastasized into conflict between Israel and Lebanese militants Hezbollah and sparked reprisal attacks between Israel and Iran.</p>

<p>Biden's staunch support for Israel has divided his party and undercut the United States' ability to criticize others on human rights and violations of international law.</p>

<p>A conflict in Sudan has triggered ethnic violence and famine conditions in Sudan's Darfur region, where violence about 20 years ago led to the International Criminal Court charging former Sudanese leaders with genocide and crimes against humanity. The United States has been trying to help broker an end to the 18-month-long conflict.</p>

<h2><strong>Energy transition</strong></h2>

<p>Biden entered the White House with huge ambitions to fight climate change by transitioning the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable sources—all while creating new green, unionized jobs and re-shoring U.S. manufacturing. Among his goals: put an end to federal oil and gas leasing, expand deployments of solar and wind energy to decarbonize the power grid, electrify the nation’s vehicle fleet, and ultimately put the economy on a path to become carbon-neutral by 2050. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On the winning side of the ledger, Biden signed into law three pieces of legislation that have driven a massive investment in the clean energy economy: the Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan infrastructure law, and the CHIPS Act, which aims to establish a domestic semiconductor supply chain that could insulate the domestic energy sector from supply shocks.</p>

<p>Under the IRA, companies have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in new solar, wind, electric vehicles and infrastructure, battery storage, and other climate-friendly projects that have sped up the energy transition and created jobs—largely in Republican states whose lawmakers did not support the legislation.</p>

<p>The administration has awarded $90 billion in grants to climate, clean energy, and other projects under the IRA, or about 70% of the law’s climate-focused grant money, according to administration officials. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The Biden administration also expanded federal leasing for renewable energy projects and passed new regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, power plants, and oil and gas operations. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On the loss side, his administration’s attempts to end federal oil and gas leasing failed in the courts, and his policies failed to prevent a massive surge in U.S. oil and gas output—mostly on privately owned lands in Texas and New Mexico—that has made the US the world’s top petroleum producer.</p>

<p>And in perhaps the best litmus test of Biden’s climate actions, projections from the Rhodium Group show U.S. greenhouse gas admissions set to decline by 32-43% by 2030 under current policies, short of Biden's 50-52% goal.</p>

Americans head to the polls on Tuesday in a mood of discontent and division, with opinion polls showing nearly two-thirds of voters believe the country has been heading in the wrong direction under President Joe Biden.

Americans head to the polls on Tuesday in a mood of discontent and division, with opinion polls showing nearly two-thirds of voters believe the country has been heading in the wrong direction under President Joe Biden. While the United States economy is the envy of the industrialised world, emerging from COVID shutdowns with strong job growth and wage increases, many Americans complain those gains were gobbled up by high grocery and housing prices. Biden's promise of a return to a more humane immigration regime than under Republican former President Donald Trump soon collided with the reality of a spike in illegal border crossings.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">US Treasury yields rose sharply on Election Day, driven by strong economic data and heightened uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the presidential race as detailed in a report by Bloomberg.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">A strong report on the US services sector, showing the fastest growth in over two years, added to market volatility ahead of Thursday’s Federal Reserve policy meeting. The upbeat economic numbers dampened expectations for future rate cuts, with strategists now predicting a more prolonged period of higher rates, the Bloomberg report explained further.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The two-year Treasury yield reached a multi-month high of 4.24 per cent, while the 10-year yield rose by as much as eight basis points to 4.36 per cent, nearing a three-month high.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Further, this uptick in yields came despite a strong auction of $42 billion in 10-year Treasury notes, which drew solid demand at a yield of 4.347 per cent, slightly below market levels. However, the overall bond market remained jittery, with most yields remaining higher on the day as investor concerns about Fed policy and election outcomes mounted.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Bond market volatility spiked to levels not seen in over a year, as traders braced for turbulence regardless of the election result. The ICE BofA MOVE Index, which tracks expected Treasury yield fluctuations, closed at its highest level since October 2023. As the election results approach, options on Treasury futures implied the potential for a 22-basis point swing in 10-year yields by week’s end, the largest such move since 2012.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span lang="EN-GB">Bond markets are primed for significant price adjustments <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">John Higgins, Chief Market Economist at Capital Economics, highlighted the potential for significant price adjustments in the bond market following the election. "While we expect some re-pricing in bonds once the election outcome is clear, it’s uncertain whether the market will see the extreme moves that investors are currently anticipating," he noted.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">With the presidential race deadlocked between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, markets are particularly sensitive to potential shifts in policy. A Republican win could mean a return to pro-growth policies, fuelling inflationary pressure and increasing the deficit, which could push Treasury yields even higher. Conversely, a victory for Harris, representing the Democrats, could dampen yields, as investors price in more cautious fiscal policy.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Tom di Galoma, head of fixed income at Curvature Securities, anticipates the 10-year yield could rise to 4.75 per cent or even 5 per cent post-election, given the expected push for economic expansion.

US Treasury yields rose sharply on Election Day, driven by strong economic data and heightened uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the presidential race as detailed in a report by Bloomberg.

US Treasury yields rose sharply on Election Day, driven by strong economic data and heightened uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the presidential race as detailed in a report by Bloomberg. A strong report on the US services sector, showing the fastest growth in over two years, added to market volatility ahead of Thursday’s Federal Reserve policy meeting. The upbeat economic numbers dampened expectations for future rate cuts, with strategists now predicting a more prolonged period of higher rates, the Bloomberg report explained further. The two-year Treasury yield reached a multi-month high of 4.24 per cent, while the 10-year yield rose by as much as eight basis points to 4.36 per cent, nearing a three-month high. Further, this uptick in yields came despite a strong auction of $42 billion in 10-year Treasury notes, which drew solid demand at a yield of 4.347 per cent, slightly below market levels. However, the overall bond market remained jittery, with most yields remaining higher on the day as investor concerns about Fed policy and election outcomes mounted. Bond market volatility spiked to levels not seen in over a year, as traders braced for turbulence regardless of the election result. The ICE BofA MOVE Index, which tracks expected Treasury yield fluctuations, closed at its highest level since October 2023. As the election results approach, options on Treasury futures implied the potential for a 22-basis point swing in 10-year yields by week’s end, the largest such move since 2012. Bond markets are primed for significant price adjustments John Higgins, Chief Market Economist at Capital Economics, highlighted the potential for significant price adjustments in the bond market following the election. "While we expect some re-pricing in bonds once the election outcome is clear, it’s uncertain whether the market will see the extreme moves that investors are currently anticipating," he noted. With the presidential race deadlocked between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, markets are particularly sensitive to potential shifts in policy. A Republican win could mean a return to pro-growth policies, fuelling inflationary pressure and increasing the deficit, which could push Treasury yields even higher. Conversely, a victory for Harris, representing the Democrats, could dampen yields, as investors price in more cautious fiscal policy. Tom di Galoma, head of fixed income at Curvature Securities, anticipates the 10-year yield could rise to 4.75 per cent or even 5 per cent post-election, given the expected push for economic expansion. The strong October services data, showing a surge in hiring, only added to speculation that the Fed may need to maintain higher rates for longer. Swaps traders are pricing in a high likelihood, over 90 per cent of a 25 basis point rate cut at the Fed’s meeting this week. In the currency markets, the US dollar fell slightly, while currency volatility surged. The cost of hedging the euro against the dollar reached its highest level in over four years, as traders adjusted to the heightened risk in global markets. With recent polls showing a narrow race between Trump and Harris, investors are pricing in significant uncertainty in both Treasury and currency markets, preparing for further swings regardless of the election outcome. Overall, the combination of economic strength, an unpredictable election outcome, and Fed rate expectations has resulted in the highest levels of bond volatility in over a year, setting the stage for a potentially volatile week in financial markets.

US Elections 2024: Donald Trump Delivers Victory Speech to Supporters in Florida

<p>Seven out of the 10 US states cleared the way to undo one of the abortion bans as abortion-related ballot measures were voted on Tuesday (Nov 5).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota rejected proposed amendments, leaving the abortion bans in the same place. The states became the first pro-abortion-rights ballot measures to fail since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.</p>

<p>The amendments were passed in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, and Montana. Moreover, Nevada voters also approved it, but&nbsp;they will need to pass it again in 2026 for it to come into effect.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Moreover, Missouri becomes the first state where a vote will undo a ban on abortion at all stages of pregnancy. It will also make an amendment that will allow lawmakers to restrict abortions only past the point of a foetus’ viability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the ban and these restrictive laws will not be automatically repealed, the advocates now have to ask courts to overturn laws to square with the new amendment.</p>

<p>"Today, Missourians made history and sent a clear message: decisions around pregnancy, including abortion, birth control, and miscarriage care, are personal and private and should be left up to patients and their families, not politicians," Rachel Sweet, campaign manager of Missourians for Constitutional Freedom, said in a statement.</p>
