USA Daily Report

Michael Carter is a Senior Correspondent at USA Daily Report, where he covers international affairs, geopolitics, and financial markets. Based in Washington, D.C., his reporting focuses on the intersection of global economics and policy — from Federal Reserve rate decisions and Treasury Department regulation to trade disputes and diplomatic negotiations that move markets.

Michael started his career at a regional newspaper in Virginia, covering local government and state legislature before moving to the financial desk of a mid-Atlantic wire service in 2014. There, he spent five years reporting on Wall Street earnings, banking regulation, and the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis's long tail. He joined USA Daily Report to build a newsroom that could explain complex global stories without burying the reader in jargon.

He has reported from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, covered G7 and G20 summits, and interviewed policymakers on both sides of trade negotiations between the U.S. and its largest partners. His coverage of the 2023 regional banking crisis was cited by several industry publications.

Michael holds a Bachelor of Science in International Relations from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Outside the newsroom, he is an avid distance runner and has completed the Marine Corps Marathon three times.
