American farmers have been hit especially hard by Trump’s trade war with China. Soybean sales have at times been entirely cut off by the Chinese government and despite booming demand for pork due to disease in other regions, retaliatory tariffs on pork...

Trump's trade war will cause deep, lasting losses for the United States. Russia, China, and Iran are all on the same continent. As we speak, they're constructing better highways, railways, and pipelines to facilitate trade with each other. Furthermore,...

I was raised in a company house in a company town where the miners had to buy their own oilers – that is, rubber coveralls – drill bits and other tools at the company store.

Joe Biden claimed he is the most progressive candidate “running,” before he corrected himself — not about claiming he was the most progressive, but about running. That announcement obviously is soon.

In desperate need of a fresh distraction, Donald Trump decided that Monday was the perfect day to announce his new trade deal with Mexico. Though there’s no deal. Negotiations actually appear to be only a bit further along than Trump’s “deal” for North...

The developed world doesn't trust President Trump. He may not trust large, multi-national trade agreements, but no country can trust Trump to negotiate in good faith one on one.

There are now really serious consequences from the trade wars Trump has incited with virtually all our major trading partners. The madness began on June 1, 2018 when he levied steel and aluminum tariffs on all our allies, including Canada, from whom...
