I recommend books like _Preying on the State_ by Venelin Ganev or _Stealing the State_ by Steve Solnick to understand the massively corrupt undermining of state power. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9780801... or www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

Again, what T is doing here is a negotiating tactic whereby you set a term or demand in bad faith in a way that the other side now has to respond to it, despite the fact that it’s well outside what norms would allow in this type of negotiation.

I wonder what allies who share intelligence with the United States are thinking about how quickly this has happened. And in the case of USAID, with the complicity of the Secretary of State.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

What is the goal of US #tariffs on Canada? President Trump has referenced: irregular migration at the border, US-Canada trade deficit, movement of fentanyl, and the presence of US banks in Canada.

THIS is what I've been wondering about w/r/t the function of U.S. tariffs: "So if we are talking about moving from income taxes to tariffs, what we are talking about is moving from fairly progressive income taxes towards very, very regressive tariffs."
This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

Regarding U.S. tariffs on Canada:
On top of being terrible policy, this is procedurally no way for the largest economy of the world to manage its relationship with its largest trading partners. No debate, no vote, no plan, no meaningful notice, just one guy's mood whenever he gets around to it.
Canada has been officially told that President Trump will impose tariffs today. Timing and specific details unknown. But it will be today. We will have extensive coverage on CBC News Network.

Tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico for "no good reason" =/= "no reason." Am I a cynic for thinking it's obvious that the "reason" is to ensure tax revenue (from the general population) while cutting income/estate/etc. taxes for the President's (wealthy) supporters? www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

The US State Dept runs the largest train-the-trainer demining program in the world. It is very low cost and has HUGE impacts on local health/safety, agriculture, and housing space. Half the time they are mines/UXO that we (the US) put there, which we have an int’l law obligation to help clear.

With all the #tariff talk, I'm re-upping my chat with @vox.com on their Today, Explained #podcast last month. We talked about the ways governments respond to US tariffs and what happened in 2018 when the US imposed tariffs on Canadian products.

💯 to all of this from @sjwrenlewis.bsky.social. And it also applies to the 🇺🇸 & the Eurozone. The zombie idea of the household analogy & the idea that arbitrary debt/GDP levels are hard economic constraints, instead of purely political choices over tradeoffs, never dies bc the media always laps it up

If the border were open, they would be coming legally.

Since it's not, here's what "coming legally" looks like.

Absolutely delighted to join The Economist's Money Talks podcast to speak about Cold War-era export controls. Despite being a flawed framework, CoCom raised Qs that are still relevant now: how to define what’s strategic and how to ensure robust enforcement and avoid backfiling.
