    Trump strips US Fed of emergency credit powers in latest scorched-earth move

    The Trump Administration is to shut down the emergency lending powers of the US Federal Reserve, taking extraordinary action to block reserve funds for the incoming Biden Treasury and prevent a Democrat bail-out of state and local governments. The pre-emptive strike marks a breakdown in the normal co-operation between the US Treasury and the Fed, and comes just as the winter wave of Covid-19 reaches a crescendo. The services sector is already spiralling back into contraction, with a cliff-edge approaching for jobless support. “We are in a perilous moment for the economy,” said Jason Furman, the former head of the White House Council of Economic Advisors. Vaccine euphoria has lifted Wall Street to record highs but evisceration of the Fed’s backstop powers before the pandemic is over threatens to destabilise parts of the credit system. The US Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, has told the Fed that he will not roll over five of its nine Great Depression powers under the Article 13 (3) of the Federal Reserve Act. There will be a suspension of its lending facilities for companies, local governments, and ‘Main Street’ loans at the end of the year.

    The US timber industry has been crippled by double whammy of trade war and Covid-19

    The forestry sector—landowners, logging companies, and sawmills—have lost an estimated $1.1 billion in 2020. My work at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture is informed by my nearly 10 years as a senior economist with US Department of Agriculture (USDA) researching international trade issues affecting agriculture and forestry. Forest product exports in the US, including logs and lumber, were valued at $9.6 billion in 2018, according to the USDA.

    Princess Eugenie moves into Prince Harry and Meghan's Frogmore Cottage

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have handed the keys to Frogmore Cottage, their UK home, to Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, it was confirmed on Friday night. While the five-bedroom property on the Windsor estate will remain the couple’s UK residence, they are said to be “delighted” to be able to open it up to pregnant Princess Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank as they start their own family. The Sussexes will retain financial responsibility for the property and plan to stay there, alongside Princess Eugenie’s family, when they are in the UK. The two couples are known to be close, spending Halloween together at Meghan’s home in Toronto in 2016. Frogmore is just a short drive from Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, home to the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, meaning that the arrangement will allow the new grandparents plenty of access when their daughter gives birth to her first child early next year. The Sussexes have already repaid in full the £2.4 million of public money spent renovating the cottage, which was gifted to them by the Queen when they married in 2018 but remains part of the Crown Estate. It remains unclear whether Princess Eugenie, 30, will pay rent on the property. The “private agreement” is understood to have been discussed with members of the Royal Family. The decision is a clear signal that the Duke and Duchess have no intention to move back to the UK.
