Day 1,966: instalment, outfit, benign

The answer comes in three instalments, beginning with Mr Trump’s intentions.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, and Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur-politician, have been named heads of a new outfit grandly named the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. A pledge to cut $2trn from the government’s annual budget is patently absurd, but judicious liberalisation could be benign.

What’s about to hit the world economy?
