“How are the Trump administration’s trade negotiations doing at the moment? Not well, it appears. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warns that China could lose 10 million jobs if it doesn’t lower tariffs — which means the standoff with that country’s government continues. Canada just elected a prime minister who wants to pretend that his North American country and its economy are part of Europe (it only is in a shared disdain for free speech). And Americans are, frankly, unconvinced that the U.S. president’s antifreedom protectionism will do anything but make them poorer.” (04/30/25)
