President Trump says he will hold talks over Greenland, after threatening new tariffs on European countries getting in his way. France has pushed back most forcefully, and now Donald Trump has threatened 200% tariffs on champagne, after President Macron declined a seat on his Board of Peace for Gaza. The uncertainty triggered a selloff in global bonds, with yields especially spiking in Japan on fiscal fears and the election pitches from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Today’s guests: Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group President; Wale Edun, Nigerian Finance Minister; Belén Garijo, Merck KGaA CEO; Vas Narasimhan, Novartis CEO.
