​Global Growth Collapse: World Bank Warns of Weakest Decade Since the 1960s

Global economic growth is on track for its weakest decade since the 1960s, largely due to the fallout from former President Trump’s trade war. According to a new World Bank report, tariffs and rising trade tensions have significantly slowed growth, prompting the Bank to cut its 2025 global GDP forecast from 2.7% to 2.3%. The uncertainty caused by tariffs has led to downgraded growth expectations for nearly 70% of the world’s economies, with developing nations particularly impacted by growing debt burdens. Fitch Ratings also downgraded the global bond outlook to “deteriorating,” citing the tariffs as a major global economic shock. Ongoing U.S.–China trade talks have yet to reverse the damage.

Trump Sends Marines to LA—Experts Warn This Is Just the Beginning

The article warns that the violent riots erupting in Los Angeles—sparked by aggressive ICE raids and President Trump’s militarized response—could mark the beginning of a broader internal and global conflict some are calling World War III.

• Background: Protests broke out in LA after ICE began detaining undocumented immigrants in the sanctuary city. Riots escalated, with vehicles set ablaze and confrontations with law enforcement.

• Trump’s Response: Trump invoked federal powers to deploy Marines and National Guard troops, framing the unrest as a rebellion or even an invasion. He posted inflammatory statements, such as: “IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT.”

• California Pushback: Governor Gavin Newsom accused the Trump administration of stoking civil war, calling the federalization of troops illegal and a threat to state sovereignty.

• Steve Bannon’s Take: Bannon called the riots part of a “Third World War,” claiming foreign flags and illegal immigrants prove this is an invasion—not just civil unrest.

• Legal and Ethical Debate: Legal experts note Trump has the authority under certain conditions, but many argue he’s using these powers politically and excessively. Critics also highlight hypocrisy in pardoning Jan. 6 rioters while cracking down on protestors.

• Escalation Fears: Analysts warn the aggressive federal response may inflame tensions further, not resolve them. There are also broader fears of this crisis being tied to global instability—pointing to conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and tensions in the Pacific.

Bottom Line:
What’s unfolding in Los Angeles is more than civil unrest—it’s being framed by political figures and commentators as the domestic front of a much larger global conflict. The clash between federal power and state defiance could escalate into a constitutional crisis with international consequences. Read Now.
