Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. On today's show, US President Trump is insisting that Iran is negotiating and desperate to make a deal to end the war, even as Tehran publicly rejects Washington's outreach and issues conditions of its own. President Trump will travel to China for a summit with President Xi Jinping between May 14-15. Asked if that means Trump will look to wind down the war by then, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration has “always estimated approximately four-to-six weeks” for the conflict. The wars in Iran and Ukraine are expected to dominate today's meeting of G-7 Foreign Ministers in France. Ministers from Kyiv, India and Saudi Arabia are also expected to join the talks, as the group tries to narrow its differences over the Middle East war.

Glass House Analysis
International economic policy has concrete impacts far beyond diplomatic circles. Tariffs show up in the price of goods at stores, supply chain disruptions affect whether products are on shelves, and trade tensions can mean job losses in export-dependent industries. The globalized economy means that decisions made abroad can affect workers and consumers domestically.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
