Executive Summary
The US is deploying significant military assets to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, directly challenging an Iranian blockade and escalating regional tensions.
In a watershed moment, China has ordered its domestic companies to defy US sanctions related to Iran, creating a legal framework to sue entities that comply and challenging the global reach of US financial power.
Transatlantic relations are severely strained as the Trump administration threatens to hike tariffs on EU auto imports and withdraw troops from Germany, likely as a punitive measure for a perceived lack of support.
Europe faces mounting economic headwinds, with the ECB signaling a potential rate hike to combat energy-driven inflation even as recession fears grow, while Swiss regulators consider new capital rules that UBS claims would cripple its business.
