This is actually a very surprising development. The World Bank (WB) is a heavily controlled multinational exploit of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Economic Forum assembly (WEF). This could be looked upon as the WTO/WEF taking a knee as they finally accept Godzilla Trump is not going to relent. Remember, the Build Back Better agenda was a construct from the WEF/WTO.
Looking a little more deeply at the people behind the latest shift in tone and paying close attention to the wording they are using, there’s an inference the World Bank is telling Europe to stop being intransigent or they will lose U.S. military support. A very unusual shift in WB tone.
In my first review opinion, as the legal arbitration system for trade complaints, the WB are trying to mitigate President Trump’s full-frontal assault on the global trade imbalance that brings the global trade wealth back to the USA.
NEW YORK POST […] – Top economists at the international institution, which helps finance low and middle-income countries, acknowledged that many nations do not provide reciprocal trade access to the US.
“This [situation] could not be sustained indefinitely,” the World Bank’s chief economist, Indermit Gill, said during a news briefing, the Washington Post reported.
[Gill] contended that Trump’s actions were merely a response to uneven trade access between other countries and the US.
Other experts at the World Bank concurred with that assessment and indicated that Europe, Japan and China should all take steps to reduce trade barriers on the US, while calling for an across-the-board rollback on tariffs on all sides. (more)
The WTO hates you Mr. President…it hates us…do not trust a word they say.
Yes, but they understand math.
They understand MONEY.
And they have (finally) realized that there’s more money to be made working with him than against him.
They understand only power. Resistance weakens their power and strengthens President Trump’s. President Trump is the Alpha Male.
And power.
Math is hard 😂
Ask Harvard….they’re now requiring remedial math for incoming elites.
If you know how and have the tools you can do anything.
Only until they have the upper hand once again…..kinda like the RINOs in Trump 1.
Can it be that the headwinds may be shifting towards tailwinds just a bit. Imagine what DJT could do if he had the USM behind him- Fair winds and following seas.
They understand that if the are forced to defend themselves, the profit maths don’t add up. The Canadian system is the poster child of the WTO.
President Trump is fully aware of where all the actors are and who is playing what bit-part.
He also knows all too well, that the WTO hates him AND, I suspect, HE LOATHES THEM.
But parasites need a host
Exactly. They’re starting to realize, and or accept, that a strong American economy is in everyone’s best interest.
The United States of America IS the world economy. No one can replace us. It was funny to see Canadians and other trash liberals throw a tantrum and pretend that they could “just trade with others”. Mississippi has a larger per capita GDP than Shanghai, one of China’s “premier” cities. We are the world’s customers and it’s not even close. Everyone else is broke.
How do you measure economies? If you’re using GDPs, how do you compare China with the US, when a dollar in China may buy 5x more goods and services than in the US?
A single GDP figure does not break out real economic activity like making things vs. vapor like government fiat spending, and US GDP figures include government fiat spending on social welfare programs etc. which are growing the debt propping the house of cards up.
Total 36% of GDP:
https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/exp@FPP/USA/FRA/JPN/GBR/SWE/ESP/ITA/ZAF/IND
US Federal spending was 23% in 2024:
https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/
For perspective, US manufacturing has declined to around 10% of US GDP now, while government fiat and healthcare combined are nearing 50%. Look around, the signs are everywhere.
Some have suggested that this is why the Trump administration wants to continue overspending and growing the debt, because significantly cutting would collapse the US house of cards. Where does it lead?
The question is: Can US manufacturing be restored enough in time to bring the US back? Three years? With education also ruined? Or will one of the three horsemen bring it down first?
Debt
War
Biowarfare democide
They are being forced to accept that Presidents Trump and Putin are going to do a deal that leaves them with much less power and no leverage.
Exactly!
Guess the WTO has a Panda/Dragon face to show.
Could it be that the WTO needs to be on the side of President Trump and his approach to reciprocal tariffs as a joint effort to take on China, who isn’t exactly treating the European nations any better than the US?
On Tuesday the US Court of Appeals extended their pause of the US International Trade Court’s ruling against President Trump’s tariffs. Will hold this ruling until July 31.
Interesting timing, no?
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/appeals-court-keeps-trumps-tariffs-place-now
Imho, this is helping China save face when some deal is cut with 47.
Then buy time until the mid-terms and see how congress shakes out.
The LA riots are not helping since 47, military, law enforcement and National Guard are not going to allow property destruction.
The CA politicians along with others are showing their true colors.
Those politicians have been showing their allegiance to some entity other than the Homeland USA.
It’s so obvious. It’s like when they all took a knee in the US Capitol in 2020 and wore those colors.
They are kissing the ring…. and it ain’t USA’s.
The WTO wants us to keep an income tax to enslave us…so they are now giving us what we want to hear and if they get the other countries to do reciprocal tariffs with us, well, now we can’t abolish the income tax.
At least that is my immediate thought on it.
LOL. I love the little video of President Trump working his way to the front. What an ego. He is exactly what this country needs. So thankful so many others agree.
I was laughing so loud, the neighbors probably think I’m crazy.
well, i would characterize that more as confidence, self-assurance,
and an accurate read of the room.😁
if you’re the Chairman of the Board, you belong in front!
That’s a video from PDJT’s first term…but it’s never lost it’s appeal…
Who is the guy he pushed aside?
A European PM, can’t remember who, who stood on President’s foot was the explanation!
Prime Minister Markovic of Montenegro. It’s from a NATO summit. The guy with the glasses on the left is former NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg.
Interesting that PM Markovic and PM Orban pretty much laugh it off. I think everyone else in the photo are also East European. President Trump is the first US President in a long time that deals with them as equals (like he does with any CEO) instead of vassals. The other heads of state seem to be enjoying the photo op with President Trump.
And I still say we remove all military personnel and assets from Europe asap.
We can’t leave NATO thanks to the Uniparty, but we can take our troops and equipment home and let the Europeans finally take up the slack that we have been filling in since the end of WWII.
Put up or shut up Eurocommies.
Better,,,Move our troops and equipment that is suitable to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania: Telling the Ruskies that we have that area covered, and Nato will cover the rest.
Also, do a quiet phone call to Putin, letting him know we will totally destroy his bridge if he does not start withdreawing. No New Offensives.
I disagree. Bring our troops home from Europe to our borders north and south and destroy the cartels and their abettors, take the Panama Canal back, take Greenland while making Greenlanders thrive. Eff NATO! Eff Europe!
Call Putin and make a deal to drop sanctions and withdraw from NATO in return for a cessation of fighting and turning over intelligence they have on our Deep State/CIA sponsored war effort. Bonus for good effort: Russia can take the Russian speaking cities of Odessa and Karkiv. If there is pushback from Europe/Deep State/CIA they can have Kiev too (which used to be the capitol city of Russia). Give them open season on our deep state/Cia ops in Ukraine – that’s YOU Lindsay Graham and Mike Pompeo. Russia should take control and protect all Russian speaking people so long as Ukraine fights.
Eurocommies/Euroweenies
Hmmm… they are saying that our President is….
Right?
Is that possible?
What’s the catch?
Because there Has to be one…
They are afraid we will pull out of NATO
Notice how hardly anyone in the media is bitching and moaning about tariffs anymore?
It’s because the Trump Trade Reset is working.
The winning continues.
Nobody is talking about Ukraine either, while Russia keeps advancing.
After Zelenskyy’s short-sighted drone attack on Russia’s military planes, I think more people were awakened to Zelenskyy being a rogue agent trying to perpetuate the war for personal profit.
Zelenskyy’s ‘rogue’ activity is orchestrated by the CIA and financed by USAID. He is a personification of the Deep State.
Thank you Robert Ford, you speak the truth.
WTO scared of President Trump?
Is today, Tuesday, June 10, 2025?
“the WTO is telling Europe to stop being intransigent or they will lose U.S. military support.”
BINGO!!!
“A very unusual shift in WTO tone.”
That is the proof.
$$$$$$$$$$$
Money talks, bs walks
Orangezilla crush WEF longtime!
Win ACCEPTED!
I love winning.
Only thing that can trump Trump’s tariffs is sunsetting the IRS.
Please GOD.
TRUMPZILLA NUMBER ONE KAIJU!!
HE STOMP YOU LONG TIME!!
NANDAYO?! – TORAMPUZIRRA?!!… – SONNA BAKANA!!!
They are crapping themselves because of the US and NATO
If the US is in financial doo doo (which it is with a huge debt) then the US cannot be the the magnanimous benefactor of the the third word and Ukraine dishing out aid money to all and sundry including basket case sh!tholes and terrorists
I trust them not
Just to keep all the players properly defined, since they are ALL related as Sundance used the WTO and World Bank in his article in a way that conflates them.
The IMF (International Monetary Fund) is the “Financial Arm (executive)of the UN”, located in Geneva, Switzerland … near the DAVOS Conclave, WEF and BIS (in Basil).
International Monetary Fund – Wikipedia
The World Trade organization (WTO) in an INTER (National) Governmental Organization that is also located in Geneva that “Cooperates” with the UN-IMF, WEF and BIS. It is supposed to arbitrate “trade and monetary disputes”.
World Trade Organization – Wikipedia
The World Bank, HQs in Washington DC, is a mixture of Governments, Major Global Financial Institutions and National Central Banks that provides loans and grants to middle to low GDP nations.
World Bank – Wikipedia
The BIS (Bank for International Settlements) is a COMMERCIAL organizations composed of the Major Global Financial Institutions and National Central Banks that is essentially the World Central Bank.
Bank for International Settlements – Wikipedia
Note the co-location of the IMF, WTO, BIS, DAVOS, and WEF … all of these cooperate with the World Bank to “arrange loans to middle to low GDP as well as developing nations”.
All that being said … There is another major related issue for the WORLD Bank that would motivate them to support President Trump.
China Inc. (the CCP) is a MEMBER of the WTO and UN-IMF and they were admitted as an EMERGING DEVELOPING NATION. China Inc. is STILL considered an Emerging Developing Nation.
With President Trump hammering China Inc. with tariffs, there is pressure being placed by the Globalist backing UN-IMF and WTO on the World Bank to bailout poor “developing nation China Inc.” with a massive LOAN or GRANT.
This is the crux of the battle being waged. The World Bank has to find a way to avoid a massive open check book loan to to China Inc., to combat US Tariffs. The loans and grants issued by the World Bank come from COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONS, which includes National Central Banks.
The China Inc. has asked the Globalists for either a Low Interest LOAN, if not an outright GRANT. Allot of the World Bank money comes from the US FED and US BANKS, who are not so keen to make a bad loan.
TrumZilla just made my day!!!
Interesting possibility of leverage against the EU/NATO’s fetish of using Ukraine to initiate an escalating war with Russia. POTUS Trump could possibly walk away with peace between Russia and Ukraine and a trade agreement beneficial to the US. However got to be careful with these Euro folk because they will knife you in the back if the opportunity arises. If feasible this certainly demands a carrot and a big stick approach.
They need America to keep pulling the wagon.
They need us to stay wealthy and keep right on keeping on so that they can keep sucking off the American teat.
What are the parasites gonna feed off of when all that is left is a carcass?
The socialists in Europe have already run out of their own money, now they are worried they are going to run out of our money.
What they are doing is in their own best interest- make no mistake, they are not siding with America, they are looking after their own needs.
https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/06/10/another-big-win-for-trump-as-federal-circuit-stays-tariff-case-pending-appeal-n2190325
The Federal Circuit has just stopped the Court of International Trade’s stay of the Trump tariffs.
This is good and potentially bad news.
The stopping of the CIT stay, pending hearing by the FULL CIT is good news.
The potentially bad news is the composition of the CIT, which is stacked with democrats. So, be prepared for another whipsaw … loss during the hearing before the FULL CIT … another appeal … an more hearings before FEDERAL CIRCUIT Court, where President Trump should have the advantage unless the Random Judge Assignment Roulette Wheel decrees otherwise.
Chief Justice Roberts Supervises the CIT and Federal Circuit Court. Be prepared for the “full process” to be played out before this is settled.
Quite possible. I expect that the Solicitor General’s office is already preparing an emergency appeal to SCOTUS, should it be needed. As long as Trump can institute the tariffs while the appeals are being played out in lower court, the more evidence there is that this was a valid and effective power of the Executive.
Agreed … so far and for some unexplainable reason … the Random Assignment Roulette Wheel has been kind to President Trump with respect to the 3-Judge Panels his Team has drawn, with the Panels somehow being rounded out with a “Republican” Part-Time Senior Judge often being assigned as the 3rd Judge.
Hope the trend continues.
On a parallel attack vector…
Bloomberg (who is a 100% all in WeF globalist) desperate to get Bessent out of Treasury. Note the WH has 100% denied the Bloomberg’s rumor.
note: CoL = The City
Worse than all in for the WEF … they are ALL in for China Inc.
Michael Bloomberg (88% Owner) is on the record praising China Inc.
So did a number of folks at the WeF gatherings – they love their methods of surveillance and population control.
BINGO!
Very curious indeed. Not the headline I was expecting to read today, I’ll say that much!
Next ground breaking news: The sun rises in the east. A bear craps in the woods. The Pope is Catholic.
Only because Trump said it, all the respected financial entities must repeat or else they lose credibility. Trump has discusses this multiple times and at length in order for us, We the People, to realize that our ‘elected’ leaders have been screwing us and lying about it to facilitate the biggest rip off in history to get rich off of us for a very long time.
Once we understood it, once we realized the full enormity of the crimes, then these financial institutions start talking about to retain credibility so that they can perpetuate the next enormous crime by lying by omission.
F—k them!!!!!
I love these 3 pictures of Godzilla taking NY, Trump pushing the Euro Pols aside for 1st place dominance and then the whip cream on top – Genteel European society with twisted knickers.
So, in looking ‘behind the curtain’ we see that the WBO is not recognizing the imbalance in trade for what it is, but rather recognizing it so that the US continues to support the EU.
Another case of winamens please!
And yet if you do a simple google search under news for WTO… nothing about this has been reported about this. Thanks CTH.
Could they be worried about the US leaving all the restrictive international organizations?
Kinda sorta waiting for the other shoe to fall. Maybe the elites see a money making opportunity?
….or maybe they figure that they’ll have more sway if they sit at the table instead of hurling molotov cocktails from afar.
I trust no one who is a globalist.
These people of the WTO/WEF will bankrupt us if we let them… Thank goodness PDJT stepped in… He came up through the ranks… learned business from the bottom up…They hate it when he talks to them like a blue-collar worker!
(My guess: The World Banking Beast is freaking out and trying to calm down countries because Trump is dominating and he may uncover the lies and tricks they use. I don’t think this is really to get countries to be more fair to the U.S. but the Trump Admin may have found out about the ghosts within their fake regime. So they say, “please Trump so his team doesn’t go further and find out more.”
‘Tiny’ but ‘at least relations may not worsen’: The market reactions to latest US-China framework’-Yahoo.
A Deal on rare minerals and 33-55% tariffs on China, and it’s called ‘tiny’- You can’t hate ’em enough.
Only now do they begin to consider their safety. The realization that our President will really pull military protection from Europe has sunk in to the bluebloods.
This is real hardball and our President is the pitcher and the umpire.
Either fix it or you’ll be left to defend your sovereignty, your unfair trade policy, and your green deal scams on your own.
