Kay Bailey Hutchison, former US ambassador to NATO, said a security guarantee for Ukraine, including European troops on the ground working in concert with the US, is essential to any settlement to the war there. European leaders are discussing a security guarantee for Ukraine that would commit Kyiv’s allies to decide within 24 hours whether to provide military support to the country if it’s again attacked by Russia.

It’s among an array of options being fleshed out as European leaders leverage momentum after President Donald Trump agreed to back security guarantees for the war- battered nation.

Forget productivity! Author and consultant Bree Groff believes the true sign of a successful workplace is how much fun the employees are having. Is this the answer to post-Covid burnout and disengagement? Who would say work was fun? Your job might be rewarding (some of the time). You may get on with your colleagues (some of them). But _fun_? It seems simultaneously too grand an ambition and too small. After the work-centric “hustle culture” of the 2010s, then the backlash and widespread burnout brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, the general feeling around work right now could be described as ambivalent at best. At worst, it’s openly combative, as evinced by frequent references to the “battle” over working from home. Managers want employees back in the office; employees want flexibility, and to limit work’s impact on their lives. Continue reading...

Measures meant to rebalance America’s economy are wielded instead against the likes of Canada, India and Brazil ‘to compel loyalty to the president’ On the campaign trail, Donald Trump pledged to use tariffs to revitalise American industry, bringing jobs home and helping to make America great again.

The president’s current target, India, has been unable to reach a trade agreement, and Trump appears ready to follow through with his threat to impose a further 25% tariff on Delhi – bringing the total to 50% – the joint highest levy on any country, along with Brazil.

Middle Eastern and north African business owners couldn’t get certified in the US – but a new wave of entrepreneurs is changing that Since the 1970s, many minority business owners have been able to certify their businesses through organizations like the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) or the Small Business Administration (SBA). Until last July, one group of business owners was noticeably absent from the sea of certification options – those of Mena (Middle East and north Africa) heritage. Recognition as a minority business has its advantages. In the consumer goods sector, certified businesses let customers know who is making their simmer sauces or importing their coffee beans. But more crucially, especially for scrappy emerging brands, certifications can reduce the cost of doing business through diversity programs found in supermarkets and chains like Kroger or Target. Some Mena businesspeople say they feel the lack of recognition. Continue reading...

Instead, quite a number of you insisted that keeping track of your partner’s expenses was simply budgeting and being financially responsible. Continue reading...
