Harris-Trump debate: Media declares Kamala Harris the winner
Yesterday, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump met face-to-face for what will likely be their only televised TV debate. Some of the biggest topics saw the pair clash on the economy, immigration and abortion.

We look at how the press analysed the performance and what it means for going forward – as snap polls following the debate still show a tight race for the White House.

He has, of course, proposed hitting China with 50% tariffs and then tariffs on all other imports of up to 20%, including for European countries. So they’re going to have to not only deal with that, but figure out whether they line up behind America on that, or whether they line up behind China on that as well.

Prices for American consumers could be upped
In very traditional Republican terms, he’s talking about tax breaks and reduced regulation. In terms of some of his specific pledges on the economy, he’s talking about getting rid of income taxation on tips and overtime. These things combined have the potential to be quite domestically inflationary, I would say.

Continuation of Biden’s approach
China, after decades of mostly export-based growth, must now deal with massive problems of industrial overcapacity. The country is now trying to encourage more domestic consumption and to diversify its trading partners.
