The Royals urged not to have third baby

    A San-Francisco based children's organisation, Having Kids, has written an open letter to Prince William and Kate, urging the royal couple not to have another baby.

The letter cited environmental reasons like climate change, economic equality and the distribution of resources. It continued: Of course, we know that Prince George and Princess Charlotte are ce...

Brexit Is Already Hurting The German Economy: Warns Country’s Top Business Group

    Brexit is already damaging Germany’s trade with the UK and it is set to get worse, the European power-house’s leading business group has warned. Speaking to HuffPost UK, the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) - which represents more than three million business and entrepreneurs - cautioned that even if the UK strikes a free trade deal with the EU, the impact of trade barriers would only be “reduced” - not completely neutralised. The warning comes as Brexit talks between the UK and EU appear on the brink of collapse as both sides want the other to make the first sign of compromise on the size of the divorce bill. With fewer than 20 months before the UK officially leaves the EU, there is precious little time for delays to the negotiations, and if ...

The real reason overseas manufacturing is coming to America

    If I didn’t get elected, he definitely would not be spending $10 billion, President Donald trump said Wednesday, referring to Terry Gou, chairman of Taiwanese Apple (AAPL) supplier Foxconn. That evening, Trump announced Foxconn’s plans to build a plant in Wisconsin that would produce flat-screen display panels for TVs and other products. The plant would create 3,000 jobs and represent a $10 billion investment, according to White House officials. While the investment echoed Trump’s promise to bring jobs back to the US, the president can hardly take all the credit for Foxconn’s big move. The relocation of China’s manufacturing industry has been going on for years, as the long-time cost advantage of manufacturing in China has slowly declined. Lower input costs, strong demand ...

UK Seeks Smoother Brexit to Keep Life as Normal for Longer

    Prime Minister Theresa May is keeping Britain on track for a hard Brexit, but she wants the journey away from the European Union to be longer and smoother than initially planned. After weeks of wrangling since her Conservative Party lost its parliamentary majority, May’s government still seems determined to leave the single market and customs union that give Britain free, frictionless trade with the bloc. What’s changed is that, according to Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond, there’s now a consensus among senior ministers that even if the U.K. will departs the EU in March 2019, nothing should change the next day. Instead, the cabinet wants the status quo to run for two or three years. We have to develop a plan that will deliver for the British people business as u...
