Trump’s tariff battle and Angola’s colonial reckoning shape global politics
This week brings political developments across the globe, from Angola’s reflections on colonialism to the US Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on Donald Trump’s tariff policies. Meanwhile, the race for the US presidency heats up as the first of 28 debates approaches, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris already confirmed as candidates.
In Angola, President João Lourenço marked the country’s 50th independence anniversary by addressing the lasting effects of colonialism. His speech highlighted historical struggles and the nation’s path forward since breaking free from Portuguese rule in 1975.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump’s tariff policies may soon clarify the limits of executive power in foreign trade. In Angola, the anniversary speeches underscore ongoing discussions about post-colonial identity. And as the US election debates begin, voters will watch closely as Trump and Harris outline their visions for the country.
