China Extends Zero-Tariff Access to All Diplomatic African Countries, Boosting Trade and Multilateralism

China is extending zero-tariff treatment to all African countries with diplomatic ties, effective May 1, 2026, to boost Africa–China trade, diversify exports, and foster value-added manufacturing amid rising protectionism. Early shipments, such as South African apples, have entered China, while Kenya and South Africa align procedures to maximize benefits and unlock spillovers across agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.

Barcelona Summit Pushes Global Leftward Revival Against Rising Right

Thousands from over 40 countries gathered in Barcelona for the Global Progressive Mobilisation led by Spain’s Pedro Sánchez to brainstorm how to halt the rise of authoritarianism and win back votes drifting rightward. The event, highlighted by remarks from Lula da Silva and Cyril Ramaphosa, urged reforms of global institutions (including the UN Security Council) and stronger left-leaning coalitions, while stressing domestic concerns like cost of living and unemployment as key political battlegrounds. Economists and policymakers pressed ideas such as wealth taxes and reform of multilateral rules as part of a broader strategy to defend democracy and counter the right across nations.

Carney’s Davos Break: Utopian Rhetoric Meets Realpolitik

At Davos, Mark Carney framed the moment as a rupture from American-led multilateralism and urged Canada to act as a ‘middle power’ in opposition to Trump’s push for a more dominant U.S. role, invoking Vaclav Havel and criticizing “the power of the powerful.” The piece notes initial emotional reaction but, after rereading the transcript, the author doubts the utopian impulse and cautions against cynically romantic nationalism.

Trump’s Board of Peace aims to rewrite global order

ECFR argues that Trump’s Board of Peace is a US-led, transactional attempt to reshape global governance, not a genuine peace mechanism for Gaza. Its charter concentrates power in Trump, relies on private investment, and creates a Gaza-focused substructure (Gaza Executive Board, NCAG, and a Stabilisation Force) that could fragment Gaza and sideline Palestinians. Europe should influence BoP from the outside to defend the rules-based order and push for reconstruction that respects international law.

EU-Mercosur Pact Signals Waning U.S. Clout in Latin America

A long-delayed EU-Mercosur trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur members Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay strengthens regional trade ties while underscoring a decline in U.S. influence in Latin America, with analysts attributing progress to the broader international context—tariff wars, Ukraine, and Venezuela—rather than American pressure; the deal could spur Mercosur to seek more agreements and reinforces a push toward rules-based multilateralism in the region.
