Trump Proposes Redirecting $3B from Harvard to Trade Schools

Trump considering taking $3 billion in Harvard grants

President Trump’s latest economic talking point could upend how elite institutions are funded. In a Truth Social post, Trump hinted he may claw back $3 billion in federal grants previously awarded to Harvard and redirect them to support vocational training programs across the country. While the political feasibility remains uncertain, such a move signals a populist push to reshape higher education priorities. Should this idea gain traction, it could alter federal funding flows—and potentially create new opportunities in trade education-related businesses.

China Transitions from Lender to Debt Collector

China shifts from developing world’s banker to debt collector

China’s Belt and Road Initiative is entering a new phase. Once hailed as a financial lifeline to developing countries, Beijing’s posture has shifted sharply. Reports suggest China expects over $22 billion in repayments from debtor nations in 2025, with fewer new loans being issued. This signals tighter liquidity and more aggressive debt enforcement. Emerging markets with heavy BRI exposure may face rising default risk. Investors should watch sovereign credit spreads and EM debt ETFs for early tremors.

China’s EV Price War Intensifies

China auto shares sink after BYD offers trade-in incentives

BYD’s aggressive trade-in offers have triggered a sharp selloff in Chinese EV stocks, as rivals are forced to slash prices to keep up. Geely and Nio both tumbled, highlighting growing margin pressures in the world’s largest auto market. The EV sector is now locked in a volume-over-profit battle. Investors should remain cautious—unless cost innovation or government support can stabilize the race to the bottom.

VietJet Expands Airbus Order Amid Diplomatic Ties

Vietnam’s VietJet orders 20 more Airbus planes

French President Emmanuel Macron’s Hanoi visit catalyzed a new $20 billion aviation pact. VietJet’s order of 20 A330neo planes builds on a previous 20-plane agreement, doubling down on Vietnam’s regional travel and cargo ambitions. It’s a timely move amid a post-COVID airline recovery and strategic pivot to long-haul efficiency. Watch for follow-on orders in Asia-Pacific as carriers rethink fleet composition for 2026–2030.
