Ray Dalio warns that the monetary order is breaking down, leaving us with a terrible choice

Ray Dalio never misses an opportunity to cut to the chase. On Wednesday at Davos, speaking to Kamal Ahmed, Fortune‘s Executive Editorial Director for the UK and Europe, he had a blunt assessment of the landscape leaders and CEOs are facing at the moment. “What always scares me is the lack of realism,” among leaders, he said as he reeled off the historic economic, climate, and political threats the world is grappling with. “Will law prevail? Everyone is having to deal with that question.” When it comes to the U.S. economy, Dalio has long been a vocal critic of the rapidly

US could hit breaking point in 30 days in China war: report

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Trump latest: NATO would be in ‘ash heap of history’ if it weren’t for me, says president | World News

Donald Trump has just spoken briefly on the use of tariffs by the US, without mentioning specific countries. “I don’t know what the Supreme Court’s going to do,” he says, referring to the Supreme Court’s ruling on sweeping US tariffs already imposed last year. “I think to me, it reads so plainly, couldn’t be plainer.

The first two weeks of 2026 have been
