Act assault on the British free-trade system, and the empire's panic as
Chatham House holds its inquest into the Not-So-Special Relationship.

Kokinda argues that Kevin Warsh's Senate Banking Committee
testimony—calling for "regime change" at the Federal Reserve and blaming
inflation on excessive money creation—signals a broader shift aligned
with the Trump administration against the British-led free-trade order.
She highlights Warsh's criticism of post-2008 quantitative easing as
benefiting financial asset holders, ties it to Treasury Secretary Scott
Bessent's focus on raising living standards, and points to Trump's April
20 Defense Production Act action citing market failures in energy
infrastructure, including transformer shortages, as national-security
threats. She contrasts Trump's American System offensive with Mark
Carney's globalist posture and his War of 1812 reference, and with
Chatham House's panicked inquest into the "Not-So-Special Relationship."
