Although @robarmstrong.bsky.social has demonstrated a good French accent - he has fumbled with "Tricolor" in recent months.
I think @weisenthal.bsky.social showed the way channeling his inner Frenchman, with an unmistakable "Tricolore" (like the French flag or Montreal Canadiens)

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

@vangelisv.bsky.social is this hire by Wellington Phoenix linked to the recent resolution of the Canada-NZ dairy dispute? Was facilitating this trade in service part of the agreed compromise?

Trade is a Two Level game?

Thanks to @sjrickard.bsky.social for closing #CITP2025 conference with a keynote speech. She reminds us that trade is inherently political and trade politics is a two-level game to meet domestic goals but with international effects, and with feedback loops. Just look at Canada’s recent election!

Singapore is a like-minded partner.
I look forward to deepening our partnership – from security and defence to innovation.
And to exploring closer trade cooperation with the wider region #CPTPP

There are several trackers of Trump Administration trade actions (thank you PIIE) -- is anyone consolidating the responses by trading partners?
Of particular interest are the MFN busting unilateral concessions given only to the U.S.?

The Economist proposes that the EU join the CPTPP. @sweboardoftrade.bsky.social published a similar proposal in 2023. Our proposal was not full CPTPP membership but a plan to forge a joint EU-CPTPP free trade area. By reforming rules-of-origin in existing agreements www.economist.com/leaders/2025...
America’s bullied allies need to toughen up
To avoid being crushed, they need a better plan than flattery and concessions

CPTPP Love Poem
Canada, dear, we built a stage,
Wrote the rules, set the wage.
Through wintered halls, in policy’s glow,
You held me close—you let me grow
But trade is restless, never still,
It bends to time, to sovereign will.
The General Review reshapes my lines,
Rewriting terms, redrawing signs
