US presidential election: calm down with the Harris-Pence debate
It wasn’t difficult, but the debate between the two vice presidential candidates has been more structured and respectful than that between the two White House candidates a week ago. It was at least as expected: many believe that Kamala Harris and Mike Pence defend their party message better than Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The insults […]
Two women finalists to take charge of the WTO
Barring a very last-minute change, two women – Nigerian Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Korean Yoo Myung-hee – remain, according to AFP, the only ones in the race for the post of head of the Organization world trade. The WTO, in crisis not least because of repeated assaults by the Trump administration , has so far always been led by men.

Norway uses oil fund to boost economy
The government plans to return to orthodoxy from 2021, with growth rebounding to 4.4%. The economy is much less hard hit by the coronavirus than expected. Let go of ballast, but not too much. For the Norwegian government, the 2021 budget proposal presented on Wednesday should make it possible to revive the economy, although less hard hit […]
American election: Donald Trump’s too much blunder?
By unilaterally deciding to interrupt negotiations for an economic stimulus plan, the American president is giving the Democrats a gift and making a big electoral mistake. Wanting to be imperial, the staging of Donald Trump’s return by helicopter to the White House after his hospital stay was immediately marred by the president’s first tweets. The announcement […]
Presidential election: nervousness wins the Trump camp
The US president ended discussions on the stimulus plan, before partially retracting. The proliferation of contaminations at the White House complicates the organization of the last weeks of the campaign. Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump is growing, according to several polls. “Hurry, I’m waiting to sign!” “ Among a flurry of tweets Wednesday morning, Donald Trump urged the […]
