Trump knocks Fed's Powell, muses about appointing himself to lead central bank
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday knocked Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for what he expected would be a decision not to lower interest rates and said the man he put in the role during his last term had done a poor job.
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, mused about appointing himself to lead the U.S. central bank.
"Powell's too late," Trump said, referring to his desire for rate cuts.

UAE Central Bank holds benchmark rate at 4.4% after Fed move
The UAE Central Bank on Wednesday decided to maintain the base rate applicable to the overnight deposit facility (ODF) at 4.40 per cent. The UAE's decision follows that of the US Federal Reserve, which decided to hold its interest rates. The UAE follows US monetary policy as the UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar. Earlier, the US Federal Reserve held its interest rates, as the US central bank continued to pause as officials say they want a clearer picture of the US economy's direction before deciding their next interest rate move. The fed funds rate has been at 4.25 per cent-4.50 per cent since the central bank last eased in December, by a quarter percentage point. With the labour market weakening, the Fed changed course in September 2024 when it cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to a range of 4.75 per cent to 5.00 per cent. The Fed then cut rates by 25 basis points in each of the next two months, before choosing to maintain a range of 4.25 per cent to 4.50 per cent in January 2025.

What Trump can learn from the Gulf about doing business in Africa
Four years ago, DP World signed a $1 billion trade corridor agreement with the Ethiopian government. The plan: link the logistics giant's port in Berbera, Somaliland, with Ethiopia — a landlocked nation of 120 million people. It wasn't aid. It wasn't a photo op. It was business: strategic, long-term, unapologetically calculated. During my seven years as Dubai Chamber's Chief Representative for Ethiopia covering the Horn of Africa region, I saw the impact of bold, early investment. The Gulf didn't wait for African markets to 'stabilise'. It moved quickly — into ports, infrastructure, agribusiness, and tech — while others hesitated. Now, as the Trump White House prepares to host an Africa trade and investment summit, the US has a chance to reposition itself. But that means showing up with more than handshakes. It means taking Africa seriously — the way the Gulf, and China, already do. Bet early bet big In many sectors, the UAE has already outpaced China. In 2022 and 2023, the UAE committed $97 billion to new investments across Africa — spanning sectors such as renewable energy, ports, mining, real estate, telecoms, agriculture, and manufacturing, according to fDi Markets. These aren't vanity projects. They're strategic investments designed to serve both Gulf supply chains and African growth. Saudi Arabia is moving too. In 2024, it pledged $41 billion in funding to low-income Sub-Saharan countries. By contrast, the US has remained cautious and slow. But Trump's deal-making instincts could resonate in Africa — home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies and increasingly pragmatic leadership. The danger is doing the deals without a plan. Without a long-term strategy, it's just another missed opportunity. From aid to trade Africa doesn't need charity. It needs business — fair, forward-looking, and grounded in mutual benefit. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is set to become a $3.4 trillion economic bloc, connecting over 50 countries and 1.3 billion people. It will be the largest single market in the world by number of participants. The Gulf got the memo years ago. Sovereign wealth funds like ADQ and Mubadala are investing in logistics, food processing, and digital infrastructure — not as favors, but because the returns are real. China moved even earlier with its Belt and Road Initiative, though not without missteps. If the US wants to compete, it needs to move beyond outdated aid frameworks — and focus on deals that still matter a decade from now. Engage the diaspora and mean it As the US representative for the Pan African Chamber of Commerce, I've watched too many diaspora professionals left out of investment conversations. That's a mistake. The Gulf is doing the opposite. Investors are tapping diaspora talent — especially in fintech, logistics, and health tech — because they know how to navigate both worlds. Nigerian-Americans, for example, are among the most educated and economically active US immigrant communities. But their insight rarely informs US-Africa strategy. A smarter approach would bring them in — not as symbolic advisers, but as partners driving capital and execution. Don't sleep on agribusiness Africa's food economy is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, according to the African Development Bank. The Gulf is already investing in agritech, cold storage, and processing — not just for African markets, but to secure its own food systems. The US, despite its global leadership in agricultural tech, has been largely absent. That's a lost opportunity. Trump's team should prioritise cross-border agricultural ventures tied to AfCFTA — projects that generate jobs and deliver returns for US investors. AGOA is no longer enough China is now moving to offer African countries tariff-free access to its market — just as America's African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is set to expire in 2025. AGOA has had an impact, but it hasn't shifted supply chains or brought in the long-term capital Africa needs. In some cases, it's even delayed the push toward more sustainable and competitive industries. Africa now needs a new framework — one that supports value-added production, regional integration, and smarter financing to reduce risk for investors. If Trump wants to create something meaningful in the US, he should look to the playbook of sovereign wealth funds like Abu Dhabi's ADQ or Saudi Arabia's PIF — both deeply invested in Africa, both thinking long term. The bottom line Over two decades working across US, and African markets, I've learned this: Africa doesn't need more handouts. It needs real partners. The Gulf got that early. China moved even faster. The US still has a shot — but only if it brings capital, consistency, and a clear strategy to the table. Doing business in Africa isn't without risk — as DP World experienced when Djibouti's government seized control of a container terminal it had built and operated, prompting international arbitration where the logistics giant was awarded $200 million in damages. But the investment landscape is changing. More African leaders are increasingly thinking like investors. Rwanda secured a 60 per cent investment from Qatar Airways in its $1.3 billion international airport — and likely a stake in its state airline. Etihad, meanwhile, has signed a codeshare deal with Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest carrier, connecting Abu Dhabi to most capitals on the continent. Both are smart plays — linking the Gulf to fast-growing economies and underserved aviation markets, with long-term returns for Doha and the UAE. Trump talks a lot about winning. In Africa, the next frontier for global growth, winning starts with showing up — and staying the course. The writer is a US-based global business strategist and Founder of Teba Connects.

Trump will escalate Iran war
Matein Khalid The deployment of 30 US air-fueling tankers to the Middle East strongly suggests that Trump has decided to escalate the war with Iran with an American led strike on the underground nuclear site at Fordo. Since the B-2 Spirit super bombers would need tankers to refuel their fighter escort. Ali Khamenei's tweet threatening America was precisely the wrong message to send to Trump at a time when the IDF's initial airstrikes have killed almost every general in the Pasdaran, Basij, Ballistic Missile Strike Force, Land Forces and Air Defense Command. ADVERTISEMENT While the Islamic Republic has used low tech weapons like truck bombs to commit terrorist atrocities against its enemies worldwide since the 1980's horror parade in West Beirut, it would be literally suicidal for the Ayatollah to order attacks against American embassies, bases and troops as long as Donald Trump is President and thus Commander in Chief of the most high tech and lethal military machine the world has ever seen. Trump has asked for unconditional surrender from Iran and this is not an American President who will back down from such a stark public policy stance. Crude oil prices have not traded above $76 because OPEC+ has ample spare capacity, Saudi Arabia has pivoted to force down prices in the past three months and Iran has dared not mine the Straits of Hormuz or attack oil tankers in the Gulf. If Israel bombs Kharg Island, the platform for 90% of Iran's oil exports, all bets are off and Brent crude could easily soar to 95-$100 in a classic oil supply shock that followed the fall of the Shah in 1979, Saddam's invasion of Iran in 1980 and Kuwait in 1990. Another indicator that Trump will escalate is that the US Navy's nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Chester Nimitz with 5 missile destroyers has been deployed to the Gulf to join the USS Carl Vinson's carrier battle strike force with its squadrons of missile destroyers. This scale of fire power suggests that the Iran war is set to enter a new and ominous chapter. While the IDF attack on Iran last Friday sent shockwaves through the oil market, any escalation will trigger a global oil panic and inflation shock that means certain recession or worse for the global economy. After all, it is no coincidence that the oil shocks of 1979, 1980 and 1990 triggered three of the most draconian economic slumps since the Great Depression of the 1930's. The allies killed 2-million German civilians in nightly terra bombing raids by the US AAF and the RAF to force FDR and Churchill's unconditional surrender clause on a defeated Third Reich in 1944 and 1945. This prevented a successful military coup against Hitler though the Valkyrie plot of July 20, 1944 almost overthrew the bloodiest regime in human history. I only hope that countless Iranian civilians, the victims of the oppressive Mullah regime for the past 46 years, do not become a victim of Khamenei's promise to never surrender. The beautiful people of Iran do not deserve this horrible fate. Zan, zindagi, azadi! Also published on Medium. Notice an issue?
