The #EuropeanCommission is issuing #BurnerPhones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of #espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to #China.

Commissioners and senior officials travelling to the #IMF and #WorldBank spring meetings next week have been given the new guidance, according to four people familiar with the situation.

The #IMF will probably need to be put on standby if #Trump stays in power for his term. The #USA runs huge trade and fisal deficits, and can only do this if markets trust the administration. This has now gone and a moron premium has been added to the cost of #US debt. Add to that the future $5n of unfunded tax cuts and the #US potentially faces a far worse second #truss moment. I am a tiny investor but I would not buy #US bonds at anything less than a coupon of 8%.
