  • Ben Hodges
    Ben Hodges “Since the fall of Avdiivka in Ukraine's east on February 17 [2024], its forces have oozed forward, swallowing several villages, as Ukrainian forces have performed tactical retreats. Here we are in April [2024], and [the Russians] are oozing out. Why is that? I think it's because that's the best the Russians can do. They do not have the capability to knock Ukraine out of the war. Russia lacked the ability to equip large armoured formations that could move rapidly, with supporting artillery, engineers and logistics. I don't think it exists. That's why I feel fairly confident that the mission for [Ukrainian] general Oleksandr Syrskyi for the next several months is to stabilise this as much as he can to buy time for Ukraine to grow the size of the army, to rebuild the defence industry of Ukraine, as well as give us time to find more ammunition for them. I think of 2024 as a year of industrial competition. So the army has got to buy time.” 1 hour ago

    Marwan Bishara “Once again, the US's veto demonstrated a policy of it's my way or the highway. Palestine could only be a country the way the United States sees it, or Israel sees it, only at the time that it's suitable to the United States and within the geopolitics and the global interest of the United States. The US is sacrificing the freedom of Palestinian people for egotistical and narrow interests of the United States and Israel.” 17 hours ago
  • Brad Setser
    Brad Setser “Tariffs are currently 7.5 percent on electric vehicle battery packs but 25 percent on the components of those packs. The lower rate should be raised. China had long steered its subsidies to companies that manufacture and source their products in China - and sometimes had required those companies to be Chinese-owned. In order to build up industrial sectors where China has a first-mover advantage and now a cost advantage you need to have an insulated market - and to use some of the tools that China has already used.” 21 hours ago
  • Lael Brainard
    Lael Brainard “China's policy-driven overcapacity poses a serious risk to the future of the American steel and aluminum industry. China cannot export its way to recovery. China is simply too big to play by its own rules.” 21 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“President Biden is rallying the G7 who will issue a condemnatory statement of Iran along these lines. In the Global South the response will be more measured. There will be calls for restraint, de-escalation and diplomacy without directly blaming Iran or Israel. Arab and Muslim public opinion will note how many Arab states deployed military resources to protect Israel while doing the opposite in the context of the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza.”

“With this irresponsible and unjustifiable attack, Iran is risking a regional conflagration. In these difficult times, Germany stands closely by Israel. We will now discuss further reactions closely with our G7 partners and allies.”

“The first meeting here is NATO looking at the military part of this. Looking at support for Ukraine, but also looking at beefing up NATO's forces for those countries close to Russia. Certainly, there's been a 10-fold increase in land forces from the situation that was there before and 100,000 US troops have been sent to Europe. So that's a very, very big boost. At the European Union summit, I think more of the focus will be on sanctions, as will the meeting with the G7 leaders. The Japanese prime minister, not a member of NATO, and the other members of G7 will be flying in for that meeting.”

“Tariffs and retaliation and sanctions are the most effective when you can devise policies that have the maximum impact on the counter party whose attention you are seeking to get, and do the minimal damage to yourself. So far, sanctions have been structured to avoid harming Canadian business interests. If we are truly determined to stand with Ukraine, if the stakes in this fight are as high as I believe them to be, we have to be honest with ourselves, I have to be honest with Canadians, that there could be some collateral damage in Canada and that's something that the G7 finance ministers discussed very early this morning. I cannot announce those additional measures today. We are discussing them, we are working with our partners and allies. We have suggested many things, as have our allies. We believe that the most effective thing to do is to work together to announce measures together and we will continue to do that.”

“The G7 is a loosely affiliated club. It is not something that can crank up or dial down pressure as a collective organisation. These foreign ministers will be going back to their respective countries and talking with their leaders about sanctions and punitive measures. But those [measures] will come from individual countries. Not from a strongly worded communique.”

“There was a very much a united voice from the G7 nations who represent 50 percent of global GDP, being very clear that there will be massive consequences for Russia in the case of an incursion into Ukraine. When the UK has wanted to send clear messages and achieve clear goals we have been prepared to use economic sanctions. We are considering all options.”

“This display of force may have a direct impact on European security and prosperity. The EU encourages all parties to avoid any unilateral actions that might increase tensions across the Strait. We Europeans - we have an interest in preserving the status quo in the Taiwan Strait ... and we will continue voicing our concerns in our contact with China and publicly, and step up coordination with like-minded partners such as the G7. The EU wishes to enhance relations and cooperation with Taiwan within the framework of its 'one China' policy, while strengthening their people-to-people ties. Exchanges between the two sides have also been expanded in that past few years to include human rights, trade and economic issues. While enhancing ties with Taiwan, the EU also has to address China's assertiveness and attempts to intimidate Taiwan's like-minded partners.”

“There is no doubt among (EU) member states and in the G7 context: we need to engage with the Taliban, we need to communicate with the Taliban, we need to influence the Taliban, we need to make use of the leverages which we have. But we will not rush into recognising this new formation, nor into establishing official relations.”

“It's not like the world no longer has any problems because of the election of Joe Biden as US president. But we can work on solutions to those problems with new momentum. And I think it's very good that we have become more concrete at this G7.”

“Grateful that G7 FMs [foreign ministers] support Taiwan's meaningful participation in the WHO and recognizes Taiwan's ability to contribute to the global fight against COVID-19. This means a lot, thanks to all who helped.”

“These are like-minded allies, and we want to take tangible and concrete actions that show our willingness to coordinate on non-market economies, such as China. The galvanizing challenge for the G7 is to show that open societies, democratic societies still have the best chance of solving the biggest problems in our world and that top-down autocracies are not the best path. We've made our views clear that our consumers deserve to know when ... the goods they're importing are made with forced labor. Our values need to be infused in our trading relationships.”

“In the case of Belarus, we have gone after the kingpins and we hit them where it hurts — their pocketbooks and ability to travel. It would have been better if it were a G7 rather than just Canada and the U.K., but I guess it's a reflection of EU solidarity.”
