Significant Events:

• “The global economic system that the United States has shaped and steered for more than three-quarters of a century was animated by a powerful guiding vision: that trade and finance would be based on cooperation and consent rather than coercion. … That system, for all its faults, entrenched the United States as the world’s richest nation and its sole financial superpower. … Mr. Trump’s trade policies after a little over two months in office have prompted a sharp drop in the stock market and in business and consumer confidence.” NY Times
• “One key factor distinguished liberal judge Susan Crawford’s win in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election from a string of Democratic overperformances since Donald Trump took office, and it could be a warning sign for GOP: turnout. … A POLITICO analysis of Tuesday’s preliminary results suggests Democrats maintained a turnout advantage even in the high-profile race, with Elon Musk’s millions not enough to compel Republicans to the polls in as great numbers in a spring election.” Politico
• “The Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar has been plagued by wars and natural disasters since it became independent from Britain in 1948, when it was still called Burma. … Relief efforts from Friday’s devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake will be especially complicated with the country in embroiled in civil war, which began after the army seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021.” AP
