#TarriffWars of 2025 We know not how what was unraveled this weekend will eventually sort itself out. Of this we can be sure: What was, will not be. Every country, every company, that trades, is drawing up contingency plans right now: Who to sell to, buy from, what, how & when.

My favorite tree is beginning to blossom. Spring is on its way.

Thank you @JorgeHeineL for all you have contributed to Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University and all the many ways you have made it better.

Defiance.
