Famine is ravaging Sudan.

To the extent that White House policies make a difference, analysts have warned that many of Trump's ideas - including tax cuts, tariffs and migrant deportations - risk making the problem worse.Economist John Cochrane of the right-leaning Hoover Institution said the big question facing the economy is how Trump will juggle "tension" between the more traditional pro-business parts of his coalition and the "nationalists" who are focused on issues such as border control and rivalry with China.

"Clearly both camps can't get what they want," he said. "That's going to be the fundamental story and that's why we don't know what's going to happen."Inflation promises were key to Trump's victory but by many measures, such as growth and job creation, the economy overall was not in the dire straits he painted on the campaign trail.Since his win, he has tried to lower expectations, warning it would be "very hard" to bring down prices.

Amanda Sue Mathis, 34, of Michigan, says she thinks Trump's promises are feasible but could take time."If anybody can make better deals to make things more affordable for Americans, it's Donald Trump," she said. "He literally wrote the book on the art of deal making."

Trump's most unorthodox economic promise was his vow to place tariffs - a border tax - of at least 10% on all goods coming into the US, which would rise to more than 60% for products from China.

He has since ramped up the threats against specific countries, including allies such as Canada, Mexico and Denmark.The US government has not commented on RedNote so far, and neither has Beijing.

But Chinese state media seems upbeat about it, with Global Times even interviewing a US user who said she would "love to interact with Chinese users".RedNote's American fate is anyone's guess - but for now, at least online, the US-China rivalry is taking a break. Thanks to cat pictures.
