The global economy is projected to slow sharply this year
as Trump’s trade policy disrupts international commerce and increases economic uncertainty,
the World Bank said on Tuesday in a report that underscores the toll of America’s trade war.
Despite the weakening outlook, the global economy is not expected to fall into a recession, the World Bank said.

President Trump is the first to ask federal job applicants to describe their allegiance to administration policy in an essay

Senior agency officials, who are often political appointees, are to be directly involved in the hiring process, which has not previously been the case.
