President Donald Trump assured on Sunday that the United States would not pay for the safety of the Dukes of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, if they moved to the United States.
“I am a great admirer of the Queen and the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the (United Kingdom), would reside permanently in Canada. Now that they have left Canada to come to the US, however, the US will not pay their security protection. They must pay! “Trump said on his Twitter account.
The Dukes’ Office responded shortly thereafter: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to request security resources from the US government. Security preparations have been made with private funds. “
This week, several US and UK media revealed that the couple had changed their residence to settle in Los Angeles, the capital of the entertainment industry.
According to an exclusive published by People magazine and The Sun newspaper, they moved to southern California earlier than expected due to the coronavirus crisis, in order to prevent the closure of borders from affecting their working life in the US, since up to now they lived in Canada.
The news of the change of residence coincides with the announcement that the Disney factory made this week about its first collaboration with Markle, who will lend his voice to narrate a documentary about nature called “Elephant”.
This is the first audiovisual-related job for the American actress after she decided to leave Hollywood to marry Prince Harry in 2018.
The issue of their safety has already raised blisters in Canada, when they moved to this country and announced in January their effective “resignation” from the British Royal House.
British media claimed that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had relayed to Queen Elizabeth that Canada would bear at least part of the cost of the Dukes of Sussex’s residence, but it was unclear whether he would ultimately bear those of security.
The cost of security for the Dukes of Sussex in Canada was estimated to be as high as C $ 1.7 million a year, about $ 1.3 million.

LONDON (Reuters) – Oil and equity markets rolled solid on Tuesday after the previous day’s slump, with signs of coordinated action by major world economies to cushion the economic impact of the coronavirus that helps drive investors out panic.
The Brent has gone back a full 10% in the hope that an agreement on the cut of the offer could be saved while most of the yields of the government bonds of reference were below the historical minimums, since the hopes of stimulus in the face to the epidemic they increased risk appetite.
The main Wall Street markets lost little time in recovering at least 2% of the 7% they had given up on Monday, one of their worst days ever recorded. [.N]

Japan said it would spend an additional 430.8 billion yen ($ 4.1 billion) to alleviate the effects of the coronavirus epidemic and the deputy minister of the Italian economy announced that mortgage payments would be suspended as the country would have dealt with the second highest number of cases outside China.
Some of the major global investment banks, including JP Morgan, Citi and Barclays, now expect the Federal Reserve to cut US interest rates to zero in the coming months as part of a global mass move to provide some ballast. and liquidity to the financial system.
“To date, we believe that the markets have gone from being too complacent to overly pessimistic,” the main investment managers of the largest European asset manager Amundi wrote to clients.
“Our central case, however, is a temporary setback, albeit more prolonged than we expected a month ago, followed by a recovery,” they added.
Oil suffered its most marked drop since the 1991 Gulf War and global equities plunged on Monday after Saudi Arabia launched a crude price war with Russia, still making investors worried about the spread of coronavirus.

The Australian index closed 3.1% higher as some hunted for deals in smaller stocks.
The Chinese benchmark Shanghai Composite Index posted a 2.1% rise when new cases of domestic coronavirus collapsed and President Xi Jinping’s visit to the epicenter of the epidemic raised sentiment.
The news continued to be negative elsewhere, however, with Italy ordering its citizens not to move to places other than work and emergencies and banning all public meetings.
“Although the uncertainty is very high, we now expect that such restrictions will be implemented across Europe in the coming weeks,” warned JPMorgan economists.
“We now expect a contraction in global growth in the first half of 2020 and a powerful global disinflationary wave that will take hold,” they added. “We expect the Fed to cut to zero before or before the March 18 meeting.”
The oil demonstration had the most horses. About 10% of Monday’s massive losses have been made up, offering hope that markets have found a plan despite the still fragile sentiment.
Russian oil minister Alexander Novak said he did not rule out joint measures with OPEC to stabilize the market.
He added that the next OPEC + meeting was scheduled for May-June, although Saudi Arabia’s energy minister told Reuters that there would be no need if there was no agreement on how to deal with the impact of the coronavirus on the market.
“I can’t see the wisdom of holding meetings in May-June that would only demonstrate our failure to participate in what we should have done in a crisis like this and take the necessary steps,” said Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.

Having produced an emergency rate cut just last week, investors are setting an easing price of at least 75 basis points at the next Fed meeting on March 18, while a near zero cut was now seen as likely since April. <0#FF:>
The British finance minister is expected to hand over his annual budget on Wednesday and there is much talk of coordinated stimulus with the Bank of England.
The European Central Bank will meet on Thursday and will be under strong pressure to act, even though euro area rates are already deeply negative.
“Italy’s decision to quarantine the whole country will affect 15% of Europe’s GDP, putting the ECB at the forefront of efforts to mitigate the growing economic deterioration,” said Brian Martin, a senior international economist from the ANZ. .
The bonds had charged central banks a price essentially in a global recession of unknown length.
US 10-year Treasury yields fell by just 0.318% on Monday – a level unthinkable just a week ago – but returned to last at 0.622% on Tuesday amid chatter on the stimulus.

ROME (Reuters) – The southern Italian regions have warned hundreds of thousands of emigrants in the rich north of the country not to return home, fearing an exodus from a prohibited area to stop the outbreak of coronaviruses.

The unprecedented blockade was announced by the government overnight and will affect about 16 million inhabitants in the Lombardy region, which is centered on the financial capital Milan, and 14 prosperous provinces also in the north.
About two million people have left the south underdeveloped in the past 15 years looking for work and hundreds of thousands of them have settled in the north. With a four-week arrest looming, many of them should attempt to return to their old family homes to sit outside the infection.
However, the governor of Puglia, the heel of the Italian boot, made a passionate appeal on Facebook to stay in the north, the epicenter of the worst coronavirus outbreak in Europe.
“I speak to you as if I were my children, my brothers, my nephews and nephews: stop and go back” said Michele Emiliano. “Get off at the first train station, don’t take planes … get the cars, get off the buses. Do not bring the epidemic of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia to Puglia. ”
The northern regions of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto represent 85% of all 5,883 cases confirmed to date and 92% of the 233 deaths recorded. On the contrary, the southern regions of Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania and Molise have just 100 cases among them and only two deaths.
Trying to deter a massive influx, all five regions issued decrees on Sunday that people arriving from the northern red areas had to go into self-imposed quarantine for two weeks.
“The government must block an exodus in Calabria, which risks triggering a disastrous bomb,” said Jole Santelli, president of Calabria, Italy’s impoverished tip.
“Calabria is unable to manage a serious health emergency …. The return from the north in an uncontrolled way endangers our land and our loved ones. Do not do it. Stop.”
The government appears to be giving people a day before formally implementing the blockade, and television has shown hundreds of travelers who travel overnight to Milan’s central station to catch trains outside the city.
The airports and roads were also all open.
